Rides to dialysis three times a week for Jonathan in Albany

A rota of drivers to Albany Regional Medical Center would keep Jonathan on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Jonathan has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Albany Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Jonathan 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 13 km each way. Jonathan 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Hope things get better soon, Hazel. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best

      Rooting for you, Hazel. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
