Katharina needs a lift to Duisburg General Hospital - can you help one day a week?
Katharina needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Katharina has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Duisburg General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Katharina 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 26 km each way.
Katharina 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck, Andreas. Get well soon. After 18 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
wishing you the best, Andreas. Shared it with a few friends.
Hang in there, Andreas. Hope you get there. Greetings from London
Wishing Katharina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 15 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Duisburg!
