Colton needs a lift to Springfield General Hospital - can you help one day a week?
Colton needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Missouri, United States91 views
Colton has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Springfield General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Colton 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 27 km each way.
Colton 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace, Alexandra. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
Sending strength, Alexandra. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Adama.
