Rachel needs a lift to the Johannesburg Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Johannesburg Kidney Centre would keep Rachel on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa784 views
Rachel has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Johannesburg Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Rachel 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 12 km each way.
Rachel 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- one weekly trip
- format
- In person in Johannesburg
- skills
- reliable car, clean driving record

Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Sending strength, Riaan. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Casablanca
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Johannesburg.
sending strength, Riaan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thinking of you, Riaan. Wishing Rachel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
