Volunteer drivers wanted: André's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to Ribeirão Preto General Hospital would keep André on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇧🇷 14055-171, Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil741 views
André has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Ribeirão Preto General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, André 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 32 km each way.
André 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Ribeirão Preto.
So sorry you're going through this, Manoel. Wishing André a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 30 people at work. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
