Volunteer drivers wanted: Raquel's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to Santos Regional Medical Center would keep Raquel on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Raquel has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Santos Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Raquel 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 4 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 9 km each way.
Raquel 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.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in San Antonio donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you, Murilo. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Arusha
You're not alone, Murilo. Wishing Raquel a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
