Volunteer drivers wanted: Upul's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to Colombo Regional Medical Center would keep Upul on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Upul has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Colombo Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Upul 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 4 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 19 km each way.
Upul 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 hope life is good to you.

- one weekly trip
