Mariana needs a lift to Caruaru General Hospital - can you help one day a week?
Mariana needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Mariana has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Caruaru General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Mariana 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 23 km each way.
Mariana 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.
Glad we found this place.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Caruaru.
Rooting for you. Wishing Mariana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Sylhet.
