Martina needs a lift to the Bologna Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
Martina needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Martina has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Bologna Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Martina 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 31 km each way.
Martina 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.

Wishing Martina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope things get better soon, Viola. Hope this works out for you. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Sending strength, Viola. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.
