Could you drive Lesego to Johannesburg General Hospital on Thursday? A rota of 6 drivers is forming.

Lesego has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Johannesburg General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Lesego 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 23 km each way. Lesego 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal. All the best.

    • Wishing Lesego a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Santarém donated after I showed her your page.
