Vidya has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Mumbai General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Vidya 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 20 km each way. Vidya 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • You're not alone, Anitha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mumbai.

    • Sending strength, Anitha. This could happen to any of us.

      • Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Anitha. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

          • You're not alone, Anitha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Alicante.

            • Good luck, Anitha. Get well soon

              • thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 27 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

                • sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Palermo so I could bring a meal.

                  • sending good thoughts, Anitha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Mumbai.

                    • Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.

                      • Wishing you the best, Anitha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Dodoma.

                        • Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Oaxaca de Juárez.

                          • Take care. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
