Jackson needs a lift to the New York Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?

Could you drive Jackson to the New York Kidney Centre on Sunday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.

Jackson has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the New York Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Jackson 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 13 km each way. Jackson 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.

  • looking forward to the next update. Thinking of New York

    • hope things get better soon, Savannah. Get well soon.

      • Good luck, Savannah. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

        • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Contagem

          • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
