Mackenzie needs a lift to the Belfast Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Mackenzie to the Belfast Kidney Centre on Monday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.

Mackenzie has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Belfast Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Mackenzie 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 8 km each way.
Mackenzie 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.

Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Rooting for you, Wendy. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up. Blessings!
