Rides to dialysis three times a week for Nikos in Athens
A rota of drivers to the Athens Dialysis Unit would keep Nikos on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇬🇷 Athens, Attica, Greece469 views
Nikos has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Athens Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Nikos 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 8 km each way.
Nikos 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 hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace, Despina. Wishing Nikos a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Athens.
So sorry you're going through this, Despina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Kilkenny.
Take care, Despina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together.
praying for you, Despina. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Lyon
thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. After 13 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Heliopolis.
Keep going, Despina. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Despina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Kozhikode but we're thinking of you. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Despina. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Augusta
Thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Take care, Despina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Moscow donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
