A weekly ride to Gothenburg General Hospital for Lennart

Lennart needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Lennart has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Gothenburg General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Lennart 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 14 km each way. Lennart 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Hope it all works out, Stefan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

    • Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from León

      • You're not alone, Stefan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

                    Take care, Stefan. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Mumbai.
