Volunteer drivers wanted: Chloe's dialysis appointments

Chloe needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Chloe has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Hamilton Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Chloe 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 10 km each way. Chloe 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Paris but we're thinking of you.
