Volunteer drivers wanted: Dumisani's dialysis appointments
Dumisani needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇿🇦 Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa296 views
Dumisani has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Cape Town Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Dumisani 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 29 km each way.
Dumisani 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 so much.

Rooting for you, Kagiso. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Praying for you, Kagiso. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 36 people at work.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Ikeja this morning. Greetings from Ikeja.
So sorry you're going through this, Kagiso. Hope you get there. Greetings from Addis Ababa.
