A weekly ride to Leeds General Hospital for Isabelle

A rota of drivers to Leeds General Hospital would keep Isabelle on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Isabelle has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Leeds General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Isabelle 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 18 km each way. Isabelle 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. Glad we found this place.
