Amelia needs a lift to the Liverpool Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?

A rota of drivers to the Liverpool Kidney Centre would keep Amelia on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Amelia has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Liverpool Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Amelia 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 17 km each way. Amelia 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Liverpool

      • thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

        • Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          • Hang in there. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Winston-Salem.
