They are well aware- they just say all the providers are short staffed and there's no one available, which doesn't help me.

Does the city/town you live in have a reddit group that you could ask for a volunteer willing to go with you?

Are you signed up for your look nextdoor group www.nextdoor.com I have noticed many generous people step forward to help people in situations like this at least around where I am.

I’ve asked multiple times on the town Facebook page. It’s one thing when the appointment is right up the street, another when it’s a 45min drive. I am on a fixed income and can’t really afford to pay people to escort me. I need at least to be escorted at least 6x to various appointments.

As I said, I know I’m not the only one with this problem, but that doesn’t particularly help me.
