Rides to dialysis three times a week for Dipika in Kolkata
Could you drive Dipika to the Kolkata Kidney Centre on Wednesday? A rota of 5 drivers is forming.
🇮🇳 Kolkata, West Bengal, India54 views
Dipika has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Kolkata Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Dipika 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 27 km each way.
Dipika 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in West Bengal. I'll ask around and let you know.
Good luck, Smit. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 20 people at work.
