Rides to dialysis three times a week for Conor in Cork
A rota of drivers to the Cork Kidney Centre would keep Conor on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇮🇪 Cork, Munster, Ireland354 views
Conor has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Cork Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Conor 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 17 km each way.
Conor 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength, Kevin. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Worcester
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Cork.
Stay strong, Kevin. Get well soon.
good luck, Kevin. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Stockholm.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Sydney.
