A weekly ride to the Mbale Dialysis Unit for Atim
A rota of drivers to the Mbale Dialysis Unit would keep Atim on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Atim has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Mbale Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Atim 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 13 km each way.
Atim 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page.
Shared this with my family. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Mbale
Take care, Irene. Hope you get there!
wishing you the best, Irene. Shared this with my family.
