A weekly ride to Los Angeles General Hospital for Isla
Could you drive Isla to Los Angeles General Hospital on Friday? A rota of 5 drivers is forming.

Isla has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Los Angeles General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Isla 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 21 km each way.
Isla 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 for reading my story.

Best of luck, Ryan. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Praying for you, Ryan. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from London.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
So sorry you're going through this, Ryan. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Santos.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Dublin this morning. Thinking of Los Angeles.
