Rides to dialysis three times a week for Saki in Tokyo
A rota of drivers to Tokyo General Hospital would keep Saki on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇯🇵 100-9351, Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan233 views
Saki has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Tokyo General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Saki 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 23 km each way.
Saki 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.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Bari.
Thanks for sharing this, Junko. Hope you get there.
keep going, Junko. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Marseille this morning
