A weekly ride to the Bogotá Kidney Centre for Joaquín
Could you drive Joaquín to the Bogotá Kidney Centre on Tuesday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia1,457 views
Joaquín has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Bogotá Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Joaquín 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 23 km each way.
Joaquín 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Bogotá
Thinking of you and your family, Mercedes. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
