Joaquín needs a lift to Pittsburgh Regional Medical Center - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to Pittsburgh Regional Medical Center would keep Joaquín on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Joaquín has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Pittsburgh Regional Medical Center alone. After surgery on their hand, Joaquín 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 14 km each way.
Joaquín 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
