Wafa needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Wafa has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Riyadh Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Wafa 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 34 km each way.
Wafa 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- one weekly trip
- format
- In person in Riyadh
- skills
- reliable car, clean driving record

Wishing you peace, Leila. Hope you get there. Sent it to 37 people at work.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Love from New Delhi
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Campinas.
