A weekly ride to Iztapalapa General Hospital for Sergio
Sergio needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Sergio has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Iztapalapa General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Sergio 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 4 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 31 km each way.
Sergio 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Rotterdam.
Keep going, Armando. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Yekaterinburg.
Sending good thoughts, Armando. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Jodhpur donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Thinking of you. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you and your family, Armando. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
