Volunteer drivers wanted: Umesh's dialysis appointments

A rota of drivers to Bengaluru Regional Medical Center would keep Umesh on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Umesh has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Bengaluru Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Umesh 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 32 km each way. Umesh 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.
