Rides to dialysis three times a week for Gamze in Istanbul
Gamze needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye760 views
Gamze has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Istanbul Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Gamze 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 11 km each way.
Gamze 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.

Sending love, Efe. Wishing Gamze a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Istanbul
