Rides to dialysis three times a week for Bo-ra in Bakersfield
A rota of drivers to Bakersfield General Hospital would keep Bo-ra on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States973 views
Bo-ra has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Bakersfield General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Bo-ra 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 18 km each way.
Bo-ra 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Jin-woo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kinondoni.
Hang in there, Jin-woo. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
