Volunteer drivers wanted: Lucy's dialysis appointments

Lucy needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Lucy has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Sheffield Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Lucy 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 31 km each way. Lucy 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 so much.

    hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

      Best of luck, Axel. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Sakai so I could bring a meal.
