Volunteer drivers wanted: Cooper's dialysis appointments

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

Cooper has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Adelaide General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Cooper 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 24 km each way. Cooper 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.
