A weekly ride to the Karlsruhe Dialysis Unit for Elke

A rota of drivers to the Karlsruhe Dialysis Unit would keep Elke on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Elke has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Karlsruhe Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Elke 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 34 km each way. Elke 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.

                Good luck, Julia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 10 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Quezon City
