Rides to dialysis three times a week for Isla in Newport
Isla needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Isla has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Newport Kidney Centre 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 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 27 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
