Rides to dialysis three times a week for Tanvir in Cox's Bazar
Tanvir needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Tanvir has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Cox's Bazar General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Tanvir 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 33 km each way.
Tanvir 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
