Rubén needs a lift to the Bucaramanga Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Bucaramanga Kidney Centre would keep Rubén on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇨🇴 Bucaramanga, Santander, Colombia1,169 views
Rubén has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Bucaramanga Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Rubén 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 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 24 km each way.
Rubén 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

- one weekly trip

You're not alone. Wishing Rubén a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Araceli. Shared this with my family. Don't give up.
hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Bucaramanga.
Hope it all works out, Araceli. Shared it with a few friends. After 26 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

Rooting for you, Araceli. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
