Volunteer drivers wanted: Oliver's dialysis appointments

Could you drive Oliver to the St. Petersburg Dialysis Unit on Thursday? A rota of 3 drivers is forming.

Oliver has been on dialysis for 1 years and until recently drove to the St. Petersburg Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Oliver 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 17 km each way. Oliver 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. Glad we found this place.
