Isabella has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Southampton Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Isabella 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. Isabella 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.

    You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Surakarta.

    • Wishing you the best, Lydia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Southampton.

      • Good luck, Lydia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Lydia. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
