Volunteer drivers wanted: Walter's dialysis appointments
Walter needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Walter has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Cologne Dialysis Unit alone. After an eyesight problem, Walter 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 32 km each way.
Walter 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.

You're not alone, Ben. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Ben. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Embakasi!
take care, Ben. Wishing Walter a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care.
