Rosa needs a lift to Bogotá Regional Medical Center - can you help one day a week?

A rota of drivers to Bogotá Regional Medical Center would keep Rosa on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Rosa has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Bogotá Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Rosa 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 14 km each way. Rosa 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.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
