Ruwini needs a lift to the Colombo Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Ruwini to the Colombo Dialysis Unit on Tuesday? A rota of 6 drivers is forming.

Ruwini has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Colombo Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Ruwini 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 12 km each way.
Ruwini 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 for reading my story.

Take care, Anoma. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
stay strong, Anoma. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
take care, Anoma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.
hope this works out for you. Greetings from Nagpur
hope things get better soon, Anoma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Colombo
thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Colombo.
hang in there, Anoma. Hope the doctors have good news. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
