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

Addison has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Scranton Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Addison 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 11 km each way.
Addison 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 hope life is good to you.

Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Charlotte.
Keep going, Parker. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Parker. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Lowell so I could bring a meal. All the best
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Scranton
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
