Feyza needs a lift to the Istanbul Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Istanbul Dialysis Unit would keep Feyza on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye841 views
Feyza has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Istanbul Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Feyza 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 34 km each way.
Feyza 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.

thinking of you, Can. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
