A weekly ride to Austin Regional Medical Center for Lourdes
A rota of drivers to Austin Regional Medical Center would keep Lourdes on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Lourdes has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Austin Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Lourdes 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 17 km each way.
Lourdes 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Irene. Wishing Lourdes a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
You're not alone, Irene. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Madurai.
Hope things get better soon, Irene. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Patna this morning. Take care.
You're not alone, Irene. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
keep going, Irene. Hope you get there. Blessings.

Hang in there, Irene. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Gujranwala!
