Ananya needs a lift to the Tiruchirappalli Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?

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

Ananya has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Tiruchirappalli Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Ananya 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 16 km each way. Ananya 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

          Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

          • Keep going, Shweta. Get well soon. God bless.

            • Sending love, Shweta. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings

              • Thinking of you, Shweta. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier.

                • Good luck, Shweta. Hope this works out for you. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

                  • Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
