Volunteer drivers wanted: Pooja's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to Tiruchirappalli Regional Medical Center would keep Pooja on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Pooja has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Tiruchirappalli Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Pooja 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 8 km each way.
Pooja 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

take care, Bhavna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal.
Hope things get better soon, Bhavna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli
Hope things get better soon, Bhavna. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Wishing you peace, Bhavna. Wishing Pooja a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
