Kelly needs a lift to Santarém General Hospital - can you help one day a week?

Could you drive Kelly to Santarém General Hospital on Friday? A rota of 3 drivers is forming.

Kelly has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Santarém General Hospital alone. After surgery on their hand, Kelly 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 26 km each way. Kelly 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

        Wishing you peace, Renata. 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. Thinking of Santarém
