Rides to dialysis three times a week for Sadie in Liverpool

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

Sadie has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Liverpool Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Sadie 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 33 km each way. Sadie 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.

    Best of luck, Shawn. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bangkok.

      Hope it all works out, Shawn. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Bangkok so I could bring a meal. Greetings from San Antonio.

              You're not alone, Shawn. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Anaheim this morning. All the best
