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

Carol has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Riverside General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Carol 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 15 km each way.
Carol 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.

Good luck, Elijah. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Sydney
take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Rome
rooting for you, Elijah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Riverside.
rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Oakland.
Best of luck, Elijah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
