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

Rowan has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Melbourne Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Rowan 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 9 km each way.
Rowan 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 so much.

Praying for you, James. This could happen to any of us

Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, James. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Melbourne.
