A weekly ride to Soweto Regional Medical Center for Olivia
Could you drive Olivia to Soweto Regional Medical Center on Monday? A rota of 3 drivers is forming.
🇿🇦 Soweto, Gauteng, South Africa294 views
Olivia has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Soweto Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Olivia 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 11 km each way.
Olivia 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.

Hope things get better soon, Beatrix. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Good luck, Beatrix. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending love, Beatrix. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Suwon
Wishing Olivia a smooth procedure and a full recovery
