Volunteer drivers wanted: Brooks's dialysis appointments
Could you drive Brooks to Edinburgh General Hospital on Tuesday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.

Brooks has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Edinburgh General Hospital alone. After a minor stroke, Brooks 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 21 km each way.
Brooks 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong, Beth. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Wishing Brooks a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Düsseldorf this morning. Greetings from Düsseldorf.
Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
