Ximena needs a lift to the Bogotá Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Bogotá Kidney Centre would keep Ximena on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia1,210 views
Ximena has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Bogotá Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Ximena 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 24 km each way.
Ximena 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Inés. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Giza.
Rooting for you, Inés. Wishing Ximena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Mar del Plata
Good luck, Inés. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Kilkenny this morning. God bless
thanks for sharing this, Inés. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 18 people at work.
You're not alone. Wishing Ximena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Quezon City.
Stay strong, Inés. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
