A weekly ride to the Ho Dialysis Unit for Irene
Irene needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Irene has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Ho Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Irene 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 29 km each way.
Irene 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Irene a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Ho.

best of luck, Nathaniel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care!
