Juma needs a lift to the Embakasi Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Embakasi Kidney Centre would keep Juma on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇰🇪 00567, Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya1,521 views
Juma has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Embakasi Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Juma 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 26 km each way.
Juma 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.

Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Manchester.
Praying for you, Auma. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Yonkers!
Keep going, Auma. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Auma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
