Kehinde needs a lift to Bonny Regional Medical Center - can you help one day a week?

Kehinde needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Bonny
Kehinde has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Bonny Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Kehinde 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 29 km each way. Kehinde 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
