Sophie has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Freiburg Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Sophie 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 15 km each way.
Sophie 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Sophie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Melanie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
