Volunteer drivers wanted: Winnie's dialysis appointments
Could you drive Winnie to Kisumu Regional Medical Center on Thursday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.
🇰🇪 Kisumu, Kisumu, Kenya1,039 views
Winnie has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Kisumu Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Winnie 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 28 km each way.
Winnie 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

Rooting for you, Akoth. Wishing Winnie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Rooting for you, Akoth. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
