Volunteer drivers wanted: Ingrid's dialysis appointments
Could you drive Ingrid to the Rio de Janeiro Kidney Centre on Tuesday? A rota of 3 drivers is forming.

Ingrid has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Rio de Janeiro Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Ingrid 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 14 km each way.
Ingrid 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.

So sorry you're going through this, Valentina. Get well soon. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Valentina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
thinking of you, Valentina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Girona so I could bring a meal. All the best.
good luck, Valentina. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro
