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

Howard has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Newport Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Howard 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 34 km each way.
Howard 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.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Rajshahi but we're thinking of you.
Sending love, Ian. Hope the doctors have good news.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Newport
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Newport.
