Default Reaching out to those in NJ

I drive for Road to Recovery but find the drop pff or pick up very impersonal. I drove a Matawan resident to most of her treatments ans had a good relationship with her. I would love to have that one on one again. I also think it's easier to talk with someone who you come to know rather then a stranger who comes to your door. Don't get me wrong. They are doing the best they can but I do see some room for improvement.
Here's the short story of my mother.
My mom was diagnosed 4 times with Cancer and has beat it everytime so far. She's been thru radiation and chemo. I've helped her thru two seperate mastectomies. (Pardon my spelling) I don't know personally but I have had on hand experiance. She's still doing well and I thank God for that everyday. I don't have money to help people but I do have time. Time to talk and time to, more importantly, listen.
If anyone in the Middlesex or Monmouth county need a driver please feel free to PM me. Or if you know someone who has cancer and would like to talk about it, in any state. I'm here to talk and listen.

This is a wonderful thing. That listening and one on one is important. Especially for driving to and from those appointments, when there is a lot of dread and anxiety.
