Rides to dialysis three times a week for Dinda in Medan
Dinda needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Dinda has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Medan Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Dinda 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 10 km each way.
Dinda 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Tokyo this morning. Thinking of Medan.
sending strength, Dewi. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Sydney but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending strength, Dewi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
