Rides to dialysis three times a week for Brian in Limerick
Brian needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇮🇪 Limerick, Munster, Ireland893 views
Brian has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Limerick Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Brian 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 32 km each way.
Brian 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.

So sorry you're going through this, Sinead. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together
looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Hope it all works out, Sinead. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Thanks for sharing this, Sinead. Wishing Brian a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Love from Toronto.
hang in there, Sinead. Shared this with my family. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Praying for you, Sinead. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from São Paulo.
