Gemma needs a lift to the Davao City Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
Gemma needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇵🇭 Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines379 views
Gemma has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Davao City Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Gemma 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 33 km each way.
Gemma 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Patricia. Get well soon. Love from Fresno.
Take care, Patricia. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Addis Ababa so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Davao City.
Good luck. Wishing Gemma a smooth procedure and a full recovery
