Volunteer drivers wanted: Tama's dialysis appointments
A rota of drivers to the Hamilton Dialysis Unit would keep Tama on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇳🇿 Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand1,256 views
Tama has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Hamilton Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Tama 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 9 km each way.
Tama 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.

So sorry you're going through this, Tane. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 28 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Laval.
Hope it all works out, Tane. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
