Collins needs a lift to the Dar es Salaam Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
Collins needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Collins has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Dar es Salaam Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Collins 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 27 km each way.
Collins 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Atim. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
praying for you, Atim. Wishing Collins a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Christchurch donated after I showed her your page
sending strength, Atim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
