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

Daniel has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Oakland General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Daniel 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 34 km each way.
Daniel 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Valentina. Shared this with my family. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
