A weekly ride to the George Kidney Centre for Lerato
A rota of drivers to the George Kidney Centre would keep Lerato on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇿🇦 George, Western Cape, South Africa1,665 views
Lerato has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the George Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Lerato 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 11 km each way.
Lerato 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 so much.
