Volunteer drivers wanted: Keith's dialysis appointments

A rota of drivers to the San Jose Kidney Centre would keep Keith on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Keith has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the San Jose Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Keith 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 9 km each way. Keith 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    • Take care, Jade. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 40 people at work. Blessings.

      • You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Braunschweig
