Volunteer drivers wanted: Elisabeth's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to Dortmund Regional Medical Center would keep Elisabeth on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Elisabeth has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to Dortmund Regional Medical Center alone. After surgery on their hand, Elisabeth 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 17 km each way.
Elisabeth 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.
Thank you so much.
- effort
- one weekly trip
