A weekly ride to the Los Angeles Kidney Centre for Karina

Karina needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Karina has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Los Angeles Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Karina 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. Karina 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Osaka so I could bring a meal!

        thanks for sharing this, Amparo. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless

          Thanks for sharing this, Amparo. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
