Abril has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Barranquilla Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Abril 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 32 km each way.
Abril 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Mercedes. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Barranquilla.
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
