Zakaria needs a lift to Giza Regional Medical Center - can you help one day a week?
Zakaria needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇪🇬 Giza, Giza, Egypt1,592 views
Zakaria has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Giza Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Zakaria 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 28 km each way.
Zakaria 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.
- effort
- one weekly trip
- format
- In person in Giza
- skills
- reliable car, clean driving record
