A weekly ride to the Alicante Dialysis Unit for Jimena

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

Jimena has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Alicante Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Jimena 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 16 km each way. Jimena 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.

          A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Valencian Community. I'll ask around and let you know.

            everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
