A weekly ride to Bakersfield General Hospital for Alexander
A rota of drivers to Bakersfield General Hospital would keep Alexander on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Alexander has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Bakersfield General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Alexander 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 25 km each way.
Alexander 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

- one weekly trip
