A weekly ride to Embakasi General Hospital for Ruth
A rota of drivers to Embakasi General Hospital would keep Ruth on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Ruth has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Embakasi General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Ruth can no longer drive. Taxis cost more than the family can pay three times a week.
We're building a rota of volunteer drivers. Each session is 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 23 km each way.
Ruth is cheerful company. You'd need a car in good condition and a clean driving record. We'll cover your fuel costs, and the family will send you home with homemade food.
Please say which day works for you in the comments.
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Embakasi.
Thinking of you and your family, Caroline. Hope the doctors have good news.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
