Could you drive Tiago to the Santos Kidney Centre on Tuesday? A rota of 6 drivers is forming.

Tiago has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Santos Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Tiago 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 9 km each way. Tiago 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
