Maina needs a lift to the Thika Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Maina to the Thika Kidney Centre on Wednesday? A rota of 6 drivers is forming.
🇰🇪 01031, Thika, Kiambu, Kenya954 views
Maina has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Thika Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Maina 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 9 km each way.
Maina 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.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Bangkok.
Sending good thoughts, Faith. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
