Nova needs a lift to the San Antonio Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?

Nova needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Nova has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the San Antonio Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Nova 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 14 km each way. Nova 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. Glad we found this place.

  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Tallahassee so I could bring a meal. Take care.

      Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

                  • So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
