Ebru needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Ebru has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to İzmir Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Ebru 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 34 km each way. Ebru 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

            Best of luck. Get well soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.

            • Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of İzmir.

              • Wishing you the best, Mehmet. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 24 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

                • Sending strength, Mehmet. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of İzmir.

                  • Keep going, Mehmet. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

                    • Wishing you the best, Mehmet. Looking forward to the next update!

                      • Stay strong. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Hialeah donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

                        • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Brooklyn donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
