Hakan needs a lift to the Istanbul Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
Hakan needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye130 views
Hakan has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Istanbul Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Hakan 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 31 km each way.
Hakan 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.

You're not alone, Batuhan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Istanbul.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Charlotte.
So sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Praying for you, Batuhan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Mekelle.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Liverpool.
