Rides to dialysis three times a week for Álvaro in Phoenix

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

Álvaro has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Phoenix Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Álvaro 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 28 km each way. Álvaro 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

                  Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to San Nicolás de los Garza so I could bring a meal.
