A weekly ride to the Colombo Dialysis Unit for Tharushi
Could you drive Tharushi to the Colombo Dialysis Unit on Sunday? A rota of 3 drivers is forming.

Tharushi has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Colombo Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Tharushi 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 21 km each way.
Tharushi 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you, Chathurika. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Colombo.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Love from Epe.
