Silvia needs a lift to New York Regional Medical Center - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Silvia to New York Regional Medical Center on Sunday? A rota of 5 drivers is forming.

Silvia has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to New York Regional Medical Center alone. After surgery on their hand, Silvia 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 26 km each way.
Silvia 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 hope life is good to you.

- one weekly trip

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Sydney.

Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Abuja but we're thinking of you
Wishing you the best, Rocío. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of New York.
