Could you drive Isla to the Winnipeg Dialysis Unit on Friday? A rota of 5 drivers is forming.

Isla has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Winnipeg Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Isla 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 34 km each way. Isla 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

    • Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Isla a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
