Russell has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Los Angeles General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Russell 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.
Russell 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.

Sending strength, Bella. Wishing Russell a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from New Delhi.
Thinking of you and your family, Bella. Hope the doctors have good news. After 6 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Recife
Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
