A weekly ride to the Colombo Dialysis Unit for Malsha
Malsha needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka1,519 views
Malsha has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Colombo Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Malsha 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 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 14 km each way.
Malsha 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.
