A weekly ride to Sheffield General Hospital for Frank

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

Frank has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Sheffield General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Frank 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 14 km each way. Frank 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
