A weekly ride to Thrissur Regional Medical Center for Sakshi

Sakshi needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Thrissur
Sakshi has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Thrissur Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Sakshi 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 31 km each way. Sakshi 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.
