Lourdes needs a lift to Cali General Hospital - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Lourdes to Cali General Hospital on Friday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.
🇨🇴 Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia886 views
Lourdes has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Cali General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Lourdes 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 32 km each way.
Lourdes 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.
I hope life is good to you.

- one weekly trip

Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Pasig.
Hang in there, Alberto. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
rooting for you, Alberto. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Thinking of Cali.
take care, Alberto. I hope things turn around soon.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Cali this morning. God bless.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Cali.
Sending good thoughts, Alberto. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Stay strong, Alberto. Get well soon. My neighbor in Barranquilla donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
