Volunteer drivers wanted: Sebastián's dialysis appointments
Sebastián needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇺🇸 Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States432 views
Sebastián has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Cambridge Regional Medical Center alone. After surgery on their hand, Sebastián 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 20 km each way.
Sebastián 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
