Rides to dialysis three times a week for Praveen in Madurai
Praveen needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇮🇳 Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India873 views
Praveen has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Madurai General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Praveen 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 32 km each way.
Praveen 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Hari. This could happen to any of us. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Regensburg so I could bring a meal. God bless
Praying for you, Hari. Wishing Praveen a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Hari. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Sakai this morning. All the best
