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

Eliane has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Santarém Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Eliane 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 33 km each way.
Eliane 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.

Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care!
Thanks for sharing this, Jorge. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Santarém
Take care, Jorge. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Parramatta.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Santarém.
