A weekly ride to the Palmira Kidney Centre for Irene
Irene needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇨🇴 Palmira, Valle del Cauca, Colombia807 views
Irene has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Palmira Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Irene 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 24 km each way.
Irene 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.
