Volunteer drivers wanted: Folake's dialysis appointments
Folake needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria788 views
Folake has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Epe Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Folake 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 16 km each way.
Folake 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.
Glad we found this place.
