Rides to dialysis three times a week for Hazel in Sheffield

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

Hazel has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Sheffield Regional Medical Center alone. After surgery on their hand, Hazel 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 4 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 31 km each way. Hazel 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

      Rooting for you, Heather. Looking forward to the next update. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care

        Good luck, Heather. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Leipzig so I could bring a meal

                  Sending strength, Heather. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
