Tyrone needs a lift to the Spanish Town Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
Tyrone needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇯🇲 Spanish Town, Saint Catherine, Jamaica1,135 views
Tyrone has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Spanish Town Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Tyrone 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 33 km each way.
Tyrone 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.

Rooting for you, Sherika. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. God bless
Wishing Tyrone a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Spanish Town.
thanks for sharing this, Sherika. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together
Hope it all works out, Sherika. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
good luck, Sherika. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Thinking of you, Sherika. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 7 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care!
Hope it all works out, Sherika. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Spanish Town.
