Volunteer drivers wanted: Rashidi's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to Mukono General Hospital would keep Rashidi on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇺🇬 Mukono, Central Region, Uganda311 views
Rashidi has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Mukono General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Rashidi 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 34 km each way.
Rashidi 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.
Thank you so much.

thanks for sharing this, Karanja. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Take care, Karanja. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Jakarta Selatan donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
praying for you, Karanja. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Karanja. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Love from Bogotá.
So sorry you're going through this, Karanja. Hope the doctors have good news.
sending good thoughts, Karanja. This could happen to any of us. After 28 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
