Every other day Chuck Pecoraro waits for a ride that may never come. A no-show, in his case, is dangerous. Pecoraro’s condition, stage 5 kidney failure, is deadly without dialysis treatment every other day. He told ABC Action News, “If I don't get the rides to go to my treatment every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for three hours and 45 minutes at a time, I die.”  Pecoraro lives in Safety Harbor, just 10 minutes away from the dialysis center, but he says the medical transport drivers don't always show up and often arrive over 30 minutes late. “These are life-sustaining rides," he said. "And if I don't get to the appointment on time, I lose chair time and time of my life.”
