A weekly ride to the Asaba Kidney Centre for Comfort
A rota of drivers to the Asaba Kidney Centre would keep Comfort on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Comfort has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Asaba Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Comfort 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 28 km each way.
Comfort 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon, Adewale. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Blessings!
Good luck, Adewale. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Asaba.
Sending love, Adewale. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Jeddah
Hang in there, Adewale. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Kasarani this morning.
Keep going, Adewale. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Fort Worth so I could bring a meal. All the best.

I hope things turn around soon. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Agra.

Stay strong, Adewale. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 20 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
