Rides to dialysis three times a week for Mercy in Quezon City
Could you drive Mercy to the Quezon City Dialysis Unit on Friday? A rota of 3 drivers is forming.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines1,641 views
Mercy has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Quezon City Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, 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 3 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
