Umesh needs a lift to the Coimbatore Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?

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

Umesh has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Coimbatore Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Umesh 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 28 km each way. Umesh 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Stay strong, Suhas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Ibadan
