Rides to dialysis three times a week for Yolanda in Worcester

A rota of drivers to Worcester General Hospital would keep Yolanda on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Yolanda has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Worcester General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Yolanda 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 20 km each way. Yolanda 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. Glad we found this place.
