Rides to dialysis three times a week for Venkat in Coimbatore

Venkat needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Venkat has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Coimbatore Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Venkat 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 13 km each way. Venkat 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.

        So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
