Volunteer drivers wanted: Vida's dialysis appointments
Vida needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇬🇭 AO-397-5896, Obuasi, Ashanti, Ghana696 views
Vida has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Obuasi Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Vida 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 30 km each way.
Vida 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.
