Violet needs a lift to the San Francisco Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?

A rota of drivers to the San Francisco Dialysis Unit would keep Violet on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Violet has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the San Francisco Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Violet 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 29 km each way. Violet 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.

      Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
