Ivy needs a lift to the London Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
Ivy needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,477 views
Ivy has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the London Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Ivy 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 15 km each way.
Ivy 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.

Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of London
Thinking of you, Raymond. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
thanks for sharing this, Raymond. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Columbia
wishing Ivy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Embakasi donated after I showed her your page.
