A weekly ride to the Edmonton Kidney Centre for Cora

A rota of drivers to the Edmonton Kidney Centre would keep Cora on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Cora has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Edmonton Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Cora 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 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 32 km each way. Cora 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
