A weekly ride to the Austin Kidney Centre for Douglas
Could you drive Douglas to the Austin Kidney Centre on Wednesday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.
🇺🇸 Austin, Texas, United States397 views
Douglas has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Austin Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Douglas 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 24 km each way.
Douglas 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.
