Lorena needs a lift to the Porto Alegre Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Porto Alegre Kidney Centre would keep Lorena on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇧🇷 Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil143 views
Lorena has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Porto Alegre Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Lorena 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 32 km each way.
Lorena 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.

Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Francisca. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Pretoria donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
