Rides to dialysis three times a week for Isla in Manukau
A rota of drivers to Manukau General Hospital would keep Isla on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Isla has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Manukau General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Isla 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 12 km each way.
Isla 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.
