Volunteer drivers wanted: Eduardo's dialysis appointments
Eduardo needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia87 views
Eduardo has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Medellín General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Eduardo 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 33 km each way.
Eduardo 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.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Praying for you. Get well soon. My neighbor in Fresno donated after I showed her your page. Take care!
Hope things get better soon, Regina. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from San Francisco.
Sending good thoughts, Regina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Regina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
