Gamze needs a lift to Istanbul General Hospital - can you help one day a week?

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

Gamze has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Istanbul General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Gamze 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. Gamze 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    • Best of luck. 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. Thinking of Istanbul.
