Marcel needs a lift to the Haarlem Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Marcel to the Haarlem Dialysis Unit on Sunday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.
🇳🇱 Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands522 views
Marcel has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Haarlem Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Marcel 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 11 km each way.
Marcel 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.

- one weekly trip
