A weekly ride to the Madurai Kidney Centre for Gauri
Gauri needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Gauri has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Madurai Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Gauri 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 35 km each way.
Gauri 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.

Thinking of you, Aarti. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Blessings
Keep going, Aarti. Wishing Gauri a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Madurai.
Thinking of you and your family, Aarti. Get well soon. We're a small family in Mbarara but we're thinking of you. Love from Mbarara
hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Bhaktapur.
Hope you get there. Love from Kasarani.
best of luck, Aarti. Looking forward to the next update. After 9 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
you're not alone, Aarti. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Madurai!
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Madurai
Stay strong, Aarti. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
this could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Quezon City
good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Antonio so I could bring a meal.
rooting for you. Get well soon. Thinking of Madurai
