Aisha has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the George Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Aisha 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 34 km each way. Aisha 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.

  • Stay strong, Tracey. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 9 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Coyoacán.
