Volunteer drivers wanted: Sofia's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to Milan General Hospital would keep Sofia on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Sofia has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Milan General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Sofia 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 8 km each way.
Sofia 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.

Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
