A weekly ride to Red Deer Regional Medical Center for Julian

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

Julian has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Red Deer Regional Medical Center alone. After surgery on their hand, Julian 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. Julian 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Hope things get better soon, Craig. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Buenos Aires

      Thanks for sharing this, Craig. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. All the best!
