A weekly ride to Rockford Regional Medical Center for Manoj

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

Manoj has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Rockford Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Manoj 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 34 km each way. Manoj 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
