Rides to dialysis three times a week for Samuel in Oakland
A rota of drivers to the Oakland Dialysis Unit would keep Samuel on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States579 views
Samuel has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Oakland Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Samuel 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 10 km each way.
Samuel 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.

Take care, Kaylee. Wishing Samuel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Oakland.
