A weekly ride to the Berlin Dialysis Unit for Lena
A rota of drivers to the Berlin Dialysis Unit would keep Lena on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Lena has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Berlin Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Lena 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 32 km each way.
Lena 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Walter. Hope you get there. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Keep going, Walter. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Lena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Bergamo.
take care, Walter. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together!
