Prakash has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Pune Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Prakash 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 28 km each way.
Prakash 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've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
