A weekly ride to the Manila Dialysis Unit for Francis
Francis needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Francis has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Manila Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Francis 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 22 km each way.
Francis 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.

stay strong. Hope you get there. Love from Narayanganj.
Take care, Allan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Riyadh.
Hope things get better soon, Allan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Take care.
