Lungile needs a lift to Ekurhuleni Regional Medical Center - can you help one day a week?
Lungile needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇿🇦 Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa756 views
Lungile has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Ekurhuleni Regional Medical Center alone. After surgery on their hand, Lungile 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 33 km each way.
Lungile 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Jessica. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Dnipro donated after I showed her your page.
Stay strong, Jessica. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Veracruz.
