Annelie needs a lift to the George Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?

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

George
Annelie has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the George Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Annelie 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 12 km each way. Annelie 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

        Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Duque de Caxias so I could bring a meal. Thinking of George.

        • Mason K. Arnold

          You're not alone, Mandla. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care

            Good luck, Mandla. Hope you get there. Take care.
