Rides to dialysis three times a week for Kaori in Osaka

Could you drive Kaori to the Osaka Kidney Centre on Sunday? A rota of 3 drivers is forming.

Kaori has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Osaka Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Kaori 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 9 km each way. Kaori 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
