Brett needs a lift to the Bloemfontein Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?

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

Brett has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Bloemfontein Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Brett 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 32 km each way. Brett 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.

      Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Bloemfontein.
