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

Ramesh has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Kolkata General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Ramesh 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 29 km each way.
Ramesh 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you peace, Kiara. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Rohini.
praying for you, Kiara. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
sending love, Kiara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Juiz de Fora this morning. Love from Juiz de Fora.
