Gerald needs a lift to the Grand Rapids Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?

A rota of drivers to the Grand Rapids Kidney Centre would keep Gerald on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Gerald has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Grand Rapids Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Gerald 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 20 km each way. Gerald 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. Thank you for reading my story.
