Rides to dialysis three times a week for Lavanya in Salem
A rota of drivers to Salem Regional Medical Center would keep Lavanya on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Lavanya has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to Salem Regional Medical Center alone. After a minor stroke, Lavanya 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 20 km each way.
Lavanya 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.

- one weekly trip

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.
Take care, Vidya. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.

Best of luck, Vidya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
