A weekly ride to Tokyo General Hospital for Ren

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

Ren has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Tokyo General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Ren 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 28 km each way. Ren 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.
