Viola has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Bergamo Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Viola 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 21 km each way.
Viola 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Gabriella. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
