Ryan has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Oakland Regional Medical Center alone. After an eyesight problem, Ryan 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 10 km each way.
Ryan 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.

sending good thoughts, Genesis. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Oakland!
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mumbai
