Gemma needs a lift to the Mandaue Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
Gemma needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Gemma has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Mandaue Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Gemma 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 15 km each way.
Gemma 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.
Glad we found this place.

shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Girona.
Sending strength, Isabel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 27 people at work.
Thanks for sharing this, Isabel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Pune
So sorry you're going through this, Isabel. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
