Rides to dialysis three times a week for Sipho F in Johannesburg
A rota of drivers to the Johannesburg Kidney Centre would keep Sipho F on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa915 views
Sipho F has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Johannesburg Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Sipho F 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 19 km each way.
Sipho F 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Rachel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you and your family, Rachel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 27 people at work. Greetings from Coventry.
