Rides to dialysis three times a week for Mim in Madurai
Mim needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇮🇳 Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India566 views
Mim has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Madurai General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Mim 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 19 km each way.
Mim 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
