Rides to dialysis three times a week for Keiko in Fukuoka
Could you drive Keiko to Fukuoka General Hospital on Friday? A rota of 6 drivers is forming.

Keiko has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Fukuoka General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Keiko 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 10 km each way.
Keiko 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Kraków.
