Volunteer drivers wanted: Rima's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to the Thiruvananthapuram Dialysis Unit would keep Rima on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Rima has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Thiruvananthapuram Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Rima 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 20 km each way.
Rima 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.

good luck, Babu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Take care, Babu. Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Hang in there, Babu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Keep going, Babu. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
