Rides to dialysis three times a week for Pierre in Marseille
A rota of drivers to the Marseille Dialysis Unit would keep Pierre on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Pierre has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Marseille Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Pierre 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 11 km each way.
Pierre 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
- effort
- one weekly trip
- format
- In person in Marseille
