Youssouf needs a lift to the Amsterdam Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Youssouf to the Amsterdam Dialysis Unit on Thursday? A rota of 4 drivers is forming.

Youssouf has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Amsterdam Dialysis Unit alone. After a minor stroke, Youssouf 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 23 km each way.
Youssouf 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
- effort
- one weekly trip
- format
- In person in Amsterdam

- reliable car, clean driving record
