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

Yağmur has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Istanbul Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Yağmur 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 17 km each way.
Yağmur 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.

Hang in there, Volkan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from London
Hope it all works out, Volkan. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Istanbul.
praying for you, Volkan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
