Rides to dialysis three times a week for Esther in Eldoret

Esther needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Esther has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Eldoret General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Esther 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 29 km each way. Esther 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.

    Hang in there, Apio. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 15 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Venice.

        sending good thoughts, Apio. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Eldoret
