A weekly ride to Birmingham Regional Medical Center for Christopher
Christopher needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom391 views
Christopher has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Birmingham Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Christopher 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 35 km each way.
Christopher 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 so much.

Good luck, Tiffany. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Birmingham.
Hope it all works out. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Brampton
So sorry you're going through this, Tiffany. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
