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

Karthik has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Kochi General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Karthik 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 30 km each way.
Karthik 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
- effort
- one weekly trip
- format
