Volunteer drivers wanted: Marta's dialysis appointments

Could you drive Marta to the Bahir Dar Dialysis Unit on Wednesday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.

Bahir Dar
Marta has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Bahir Dar Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Marta 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 20 km each way. Marta 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
