Volunteer drivers wanted: Fernando's dialysis appointments
Fernando needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇺🇸 Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States713 views
Fernando has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Cambridge Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Fernando 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 16 km each way.
Fernando 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.

Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Cambridge.
