Could you drive Marisol to the St. Louis Kidney Centre on Monday? A rota of 3 drivers is forming.

Marisol has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the St. Louis Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Marisol 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. Marisol 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
