Help cancer patients by taking them to doctor
I support the idea that cancer patients should be given transportation to the doctor’s office, as suggested in Cathy Weaver’s article, “Cancer is a hard road to travel without aid.” I’m a grandson of a cancer survivor. My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999.
She was fortunate to have family members help her to and from the doctor, but many are not so lucky.
I support volunteering to fill this need. Lots of people don’t have transportation to their doctor’s appointments.
This is a good way to help the community. Also, a driver can deduct volunteer miles when filing an income tax return. Just imagine if someone in your family was a cancer patient. You would want someone to help him or her.
That’s why you should treat others as you would want others to treat you.

I was planning a voter registration event earlier this year with another gentleman (maybe just A gentleman, since I'm not sure if I fit the description), and he was saying, "We're going to have signs at this street corner and that street corner and over there and over here directing people to our event."
I looked at him and said...no, I inquired, "Who is making all of these signs?"
"Good question," he said.
