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

Walter has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to London General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Walter 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 9 km each way.
Walter 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Claire. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Hawassa.
hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Macon
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Take care
Praying for you, Claire. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Wishing you peace, Claire. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of London.
Hope things get better soon, Claire. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of London.
Thanks for sharing this, Claire. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Claire. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Heliopolis donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
