Volunteer drivers wanted: Emilia's dialysis appointments
Emilia needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Emilia has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Derry Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Emilia 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 31 km each way.
Emilia 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.

Sending good thoughts, Hanna. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 35 people at work.
Thinking of you, Hanna. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Gliwice this morning. Thinking of Derry
You're not alone, Hanna. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Warsaw
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Oakland.
