Volunteer drivers giving Tri-City cancer patients a lift
KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — Bonnie Causey has driven people on some of the best days of their lives. And on some of the worst.
Not long ago, she picked up a woman who'd just been declared cancer-free.
Another time, a man she was driving learned there was nothing more doctors could do for him. It was time to consider hospice care.
That was a hard day. But, "I was glad he didn't have to sit there and wait for Dial-A-Ride or something to get him," Causey said. "I could cry with him."
The highs and the lows — they come with the territory.
