A weekly ride to Tiruchirappalli General Hospital for Tharun

A rota of drivers to Tiruchirappalli General Hospital would keep Tharun on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Tharun has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Tiruchirappalli General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Tharun 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 32 km each way. Tharun 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. Thank you so much.
