Rides to dialysis three times a week for Esteban in Palmira
Could you drive Esteban to the Palmira Dialysis Unit on Sunday? A rota of 5 drivers is forming.
🇨🇴 Palmira, Valle del Cauca, Colombia748 views
Esteban has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Palmira Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Esteban 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 17 km each way.
Esteban 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.
