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

Miguel has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Rio de Janeiro Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Miguel 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 24 km each way.
Miguel 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Raimundo. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal.
