Pradeep needs a lift to Colombo General Hospital - can you help one day a week?

Pradeep needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Pradeep has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Colombo General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Pradeep 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 8 km each way. Pradeep 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Rooting for you, Chaminda. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Bristol this morning. Take care.
