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

Nathan has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Oakland Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Nathan 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 18 km each way.
Nathan 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Joyce. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Mwanza so I could bring a meal
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Nathan a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from São Paulo.
