Delilah needs a lift to the Rockford Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?

A rota of drivers to the Rockford Dialysis Unit would keep Delilah on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Delilah has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Rockford Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Delilah 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 8 km each way. Delilah 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
