Frank needs a lift to the Newport Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Frank to the Newport Kidney Centre on Tuesday? A rota of 5 drivers is forming.

Frank has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Newport Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Frank 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 22 km each way.
Frank 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this, Melanie. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Newport.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Warsaw.
Hope things get better soon, Melanie. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Kyoto so I could bring a meal. All the best.
