Khoa needs a lift to the Tacoma Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Tacoma Dialysis Unit would keep Khoa on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Khoa has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Tacoma Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Khoa 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.
Khoa 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 hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Vy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
You're not alone, Vy. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in La Plata but we're thinking of you.
So sorry you're going through this, Vy. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Tacoma

Thinking of you, Vy. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

Thinking of you, Vy. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Vy. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page
