Could you drive Lúcia to Rio de Janeiro Regional Medical Center on Friday? A rota of 6 drivers is forming.

Lúcia has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Rio de Janeiro Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Lúcia 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 8 km each way.
Lúcia 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.
