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

Gonzalo has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Oakland Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Gonzalo 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 29 km each way.
Gonzalo 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.
