Rides to dialysis three times a week for Kato in Kampala
Kato needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda338 views
Kato has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Kampala General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Kato 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 24 km each way.
Kato 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.

Wishing you the best, Tabitha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Wishing Kato a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kampala.
Hang in there. Get well soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Tabitha. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Odesa donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
good luck. This could happen to any of us. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless!
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
