A weekly ride to Johannesburg Regional Medical Center for Thandi
Thandi needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Thandi has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Johannesburg Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Thandi 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 17 km each way.
Thandi 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.

Take care, Craig. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nairobi
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Birmingham.
Good luck, Craig. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Johannesburg.
