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

Chantel has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Richards Bay Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Chantel 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 24 km each way.
Chantel 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.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
hang in there, Themba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Ikeja
