A weekly ride to the Belo Horizonte Dialysis Unit for Edilene

A rota of drivers to the Belo Horizonte Dialysis Unit would keep Edilene on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Edilene has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Belo Horizonte Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Edilene 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 33 km each way. Edilene 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.
