A weekly ride to the Paris Kidney Centre for Mame
Mame needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France301 views
Mame has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Paris Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Mame 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 23 km each way.
Mame 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.
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Bakary. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Reading this morning. God bless.
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Mame a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!
Thinking of you, Bakary. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hope things get better soon, Bakary. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best
