Rides to dialysis three times a week for Edilene in Santos
Edilene needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇧🇷 11093-301, Santos, São Paulo, Brazil180 views
Edilene has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Santos General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Edilene 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 24 km each way.
Edilene 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.
Glad we found this place.
