Dinesh needs a lift to the Peoria Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Peoria Dialysis Unit would keep Dinesh on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Dinesh has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Peoria Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Dinesh 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 24 km each way.
Dinesh 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.

- one weekly trip

Wishing you peace, Akash. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Sending love, Akash. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Mukono donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Mukono.
Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
