Volunteer drivers wanted: Athumani's dialysis appointments
Athumani needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya679 views
Athumani has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Nairobi Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Athumani 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 18 km each way.
Athumani 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 hope life is good to you.

Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Ikeja!

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Nairobi.
