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

Jepkoech has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Naivasha Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Jepkoech 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 23 km each way.
Jepkoech 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going, Njeri. I hope things turn around soon. After 24 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing Jepkoech a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
