Rides to dialysis three times a week for Parth in Kolkata
A rota of drivers to the Kolkata Dialysis Unit would keep Parth on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Parth has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Kolkata Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Parth 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 11 km each way.
Parth 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- one weekly trip

Best of luck, Pooja. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 18 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending strength. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
So sorry you're going through this, Pooja. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
