Volunteer drivers wanted: Liam's dialysis appointments
Could you drive Liam to the Ottawa Dialysis Unit on Tuesday? A rota of 6 drivers is forming.

Liam has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Ottawa Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Liam 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 34 km each way.
Liam 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.

Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Ottawa.
Hang in there, Jennifer. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Istanbul.
Wishing you peace, Jennifer. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
