Vusi needs a lift to the Soweto Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?

A rota of drivers to the Soweto Dialysis Unit would keep Vusi on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Vusi has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Soweto Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Vusi 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. Vusi 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    hang in there, Busisiwe. Wishing Vusi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
