Volunteer drivers wanted: Soledad's dialysis appointments
Soledad needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇨🇴 110681, Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia327 views
Soledad has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Bogotá Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Soledad 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 18 km each way.
Soledad 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.

Sending good thoughts. Wishing Soledad a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
take care, Iván. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Wishing Soledad a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Sending strength, Iván. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Bogotá.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Atlanta
