Girish needs a lift to the Bengaluru Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Bengaluru Kidney Centre would keep Girish on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇮🇳 Bengaluru, Karnataka, India779 views
Girish has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Bengaluru Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Girish 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 20 km each way.
Girish 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck, Bhavna. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out, Bhavna. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours.
I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Jakarta.
Thanks for sharing this, Bhavna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Fort Collins.
Stay strong, Bhavna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Jalandhar
Sending good thoughts, Bhavna. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
