Giovana has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to São Paulo Regional Medical Center alone. After a foot amputation, Giovana 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 9 km each way. Giovana 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    • thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.

      • Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of São Paulo!

        • Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
