André needs a lift to the Feira de Santana Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
André needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

André has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Feira de Santana Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, André 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.
André 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you, Amanda. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
This could happen to any of us. After 6 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Feira de Santana
Keep going, Amanda. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Auckland

Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
