Rides to dialysis three times a week for Shawn in Bakersfield
Shawn needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States1,013 views
Shawn has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Bakersfield Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Shawn 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 32 km each way.
Shawn 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.

Sending love, Carol. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
praying for you, Carol. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
thinking of you, Carol. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
