Rides to dialysis three times a week for Karin in Mthatha
A rota of drivers to Mthatha General Hospital would keep Karin on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇿🇦 Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa450 views
Karin has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Mthatha General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Karin 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 15 km each way.
Karin 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
