Volunteer drivers wanted: Gerald's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to the Hamilton Dialysis Unit would keep Gerald on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Gerald has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Hamilton Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Gerald 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 26 km each way.
Gerald 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Maverick. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out
hang in there, Maverick. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Hamilton
