Rides to dialysis three times a week for Andile in Soweto
Could you drive Andile to Soweto General Hospital on Sunday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.
🇿🇦 Soweto, Gauteng, South Africa1,573 views
Andile has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Soweto General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Andile 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 20 km each way.
Andile 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.

Stay strong, Fatima. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Allentown!
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Ikeja.
So sorry you're going through this, Fatima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
