Rides to dialysis three times a week for Pavithra in Siliguri
Pavithra needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇮🇳 Siliguri, West Bengal, India177 views
Pavithra has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Siliguri General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Pavithra 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 15 km each way.
Pavithra 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.
