Rides to dialysis three times a week for Felicia in Accra
A rota of drivers to Accra Regional Medical Center would keep Felicia on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana1,113 views
Felicia has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Accra Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Felicia 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 28 km each way.
Felicia 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 hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Patience. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Wishing Felicia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings

Thinking of you, Patience. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal
Best of luck, Patience. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Rooting for you, Patience. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings

Take care. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
