Volunteer drivers wanted: Aster's dialysis appointments

A rota of drivers to Mekelle General Hospital would keep Aster on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Mekelle
Aster has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Mekelle General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Aster 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 8 km each way. Aster 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    You're not alone, Wondimu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Mekelle.

    • Vanessa Silva

      Stay strong. Wishing Aster a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

      • Jigna L. Apte

        Thinking of you and your family, Wondimu. Gave what I could, wish it was more.

        • Regina Rosângela Duarte

          Hang in there, Wondimu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless

            • Marcus H. Acosta

              praying for you, Wondimu. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
