Renata needs a lift to the Contagem Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?

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

Contagem
Renata has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Contagem Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Renata 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 24 km each way. Renata 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

              So sorry you're going through this, Marcos. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bologna.
