A weekly ride to La Plata General Hospital for Karina
Karina needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇦🇷 La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina587 views
Karina has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to La Plata General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Karina 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 12 km each way.
Karina 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.

- one weekly trip
- format
