Volunteer drivers wanted: Shun's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to the Shinjuku Kidney Centre would keep Shun on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇯🇵 Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan358 views
Shun has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Shinjuku Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Shun 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 26 km each way.
Shun 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 hope life is good to you.
