Rides to dialysis three times a week for Marían in Fort Collins

María needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

María has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the Fort Collins Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, María 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 15 km each way. Marían 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
