Volunteer drivers wanted: Lucía's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to the Palmira Kidney Centre would keep Lucían on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Lucía has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Palmira Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Lucía 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 33 km each way.
Lucían 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kharkiv.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Port Harcourt!
thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope it all works out, Luis. I hope things turn around soon.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
