Rides to dialysis three times a week for Mercy in Badagry
A rota of drivers to the Badagry Dialysis Unit would keep Mercy on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria210 views
Mercy has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Badagry Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Mercy 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 27 km each way.
Mercy 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.

You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Badagry.
Sending strength. Wishing Mercy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 28 people at work. Love from São Paulo.
Hang in there, Lucky. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 17 people at work. God bless.
