Rides to dialysis three times a week for Shima in Dhaka
Shima needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇧🇩 1204, Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh583 views
Shima has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Dhaka Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Shima can no longer drive. Taxis cost more than the family can pay three times a week.
We're building a rota of volunteer drivers. Each session is 4 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 28 km each way.
Shima is cheerful company. You'd need a car in good condition and a clean driving record. We'll cover your fuel costs, and the family will send you home with homemade food.
Please say which day works for you in the comments.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

- one weekly trip
