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

Lindiwe has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Soweto General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Lindiwe 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 13 km each way.
Lindiwe 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Kagiso. Hope you get there. After 30 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours
Hope it all works out, Kagiso. Hope you get there
Stay strong, Kagiso. Wishing Lindiwe a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too
