A weekly ride to the Mumbai Kidney Centre for Rakesh
A rota of drivers to the Mumbai Kidney Centre would keep Rakesh on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India411 views
Rakesh has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Mumbai Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Rakesh 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 17 km each way.
Rakesh 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
- effort
- one weekly trip
- format
- In person in Mumbai

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Mumbai.
praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Mumbai
Sending strength, Aadhya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Noida this morning. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Aadhya. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
keep going, Aadhya. I hope things turn around soon
