Rides to dialysis three times a week for Simone in Venice
Simone needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇮🇹 Venice, Veneto, Italy304 views
Simone has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Venice General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Simone 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 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 21 km each way.
Simone 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing Simone a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Sending love, Matteo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Keep going, Matteo. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Nairobi.
