Volunteer drivers wanted: Marites's dialysis appointments

A rota of drivers to the Makati Kidney Centre would keep Marites on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Makati
Marites has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Makati Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Marites 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. Marites 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

        Keep going, Gerald. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
