Rides to dialysis three times a week for Rubén in San Diego

A rota of drivers to the San Diego Kidney Centre would keep Rubén on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Rubén has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the San Diego Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Rubén 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 13 km each way. Rubén 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.
