Volunteer drivers wanted: Camila's dialysis appointments
Camila needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Camila has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Medellín General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Camila 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 10 km each way.
Camila 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.

You're not alone, Santiago. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Lapu-Lapu
Keep going, Santiago. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Makati.
Thinking of you, Santiago. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

Thinking of you and your family, Santiago. Shared this with my family. After 30 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Medellín
Sending strength, Santiago. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 15 people at work. All the best.
