Gashaw needs a lift to the Addis Ababa Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
Gashaw needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia760 views
Gashaw has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Addis Ababa Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Gashaw 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 16 km each way.
Gashaw 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 hope life is good to you.

- one weekly trip

Hope it all works out, Tizita. Your post was clear and honest.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Kharkiv this morning. Love from Kharkiv.
sending strength, Tizita. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
