Emeka needs a lift to the Kano Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?

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

Emeka has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Kano Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Emeka 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 18 km each way. Emeka 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.

      Wishing you peace, Adaeze. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care!
