Rainer needs a lift to Leipzig General Hospital - can you help one day a week?
Rainer needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇩🇪 Leipzig, Saxony, Germany976 views
Rainer has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Leipzig General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Rainer 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 35 km each way.
Rainer 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Seville but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Leipzig.
Thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Leipzig.
Take care, Heinz. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
