Rides to dialysis three times a week for Joyce in Bakersfield
A rota of drivers to the Bakersfield Kidney Centre would keep Joyce on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States517 views
Joyce has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Bakersfield Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Joyce 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 34 km each way.
Joyce 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.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Bakersfield
Thinking of you and your family, Zoe. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
