Volunteer drivers wanted: Venkat's dialysis appointments
Could you drive Venkat to the Mumbai Kidney Centre on Tuesday? A rota of 6 drivers is forming.

Venkat has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Mumbai Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Venkat 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 22 km each way.
Venkat 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.
- effort
- one weekly trip
- format

You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Mumbai
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. Love from Jakarta Selatan
You're not alone, Pradeep. Looking forward to the next update.
thinking of you, Pradeep. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Bogra but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Mumbai.
Thinking of you, Pradeep. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Pradeep. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Breda
Hang in there, Pradeep. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
good luck, Pradeep. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Keep going, Pradeep. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Pradeep. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 8 people at work.
Keep going, Pradeep. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 14 people at work
You're not alone, Pradeep. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mumbai.
so sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Salerno.
