Shu needs a lift to Newcastle Regional Medical Center - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Shu to Newcastle Regional Medical Center on Monday? A rota of 5 drivers is forming.

Shu has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Newcastle Regional Medical Center alone. After surgery on their hand, Shu 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 29 km each way.
Shu 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
