Rides to dialysis three times a week for Vijay in Tiruchirappalli
Vijay needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Vijay has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Tiruchirappalli General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Vijay 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 31 km each way.
Vijay 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 so much.

Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli.
stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you the best, Lata. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care!
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Mecca but we're thinking of you
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Oakland donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Lata. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
hope things get better soon. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
