A weekly ride to the George Kidney Centre for Vusi

A rota of drivers to the George Kidney Centre would keep Vusi on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

George
Vusi has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the George Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Vusi 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 28 km each way. Vusi 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.
