Alberto needs a lift to the Venice Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Venice Kidney Centre would keep Alberto on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇮🇹 Venice, Veneto, Italy764 views
Alberto has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Venice Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Alberto 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 25 km each way.
Alberto 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.
Glad we found this place.
- effort

Hang in there, Samuele. Wishing Alberto a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Venice
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
so sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more!
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Venice
Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Orlando
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Venice.
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Rome but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Samuele. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 19 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hope things get better soon, Samuele. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Luxor this morning. God bless
hope the doctors have good news. After 20 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Oakland
