Tanvir was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Dhaka University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Tanvir is 34, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Dhaka University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $200 • Transport to Dhaka University Hospital: $95 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 • Household costs while unable to work: $110 Thanks for reading all this. - Rina

  • Hope it all works out, Rina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from San Diego.
