Selamawit has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Adama Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Selamawit 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 21 km each way. Selamawit 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. Glad we found this place.

  • You're not alone, Tsion. Wishing Selamawit a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

    • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 19 people at work. Love from Moscow

      • Rooting for you, Tsion. Get well soon. I hope April is when things finally get easier

          thinking of you, Tsion. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Baton Rouge.

          • thinking of you, Tsion. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

            • Hope the doctors have good news. After 14 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

              • praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.

                • Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless!

                  • Hope things get better soon, Tsion. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
