Arun is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after the death of my husband
A single father in Amritsar needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Arun retrains.
🇮🇳 Amritsar, Punjab, India1,856 views
After the death of my husband in April, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $600 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Rent top-up: $290
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Arun. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arun!
Childcare and after-school care is $180 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
stay strong, Arun. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Amritsar
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Rajshahi
Sending love. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Moscow.
Wishing you the best, Arun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 4 people at work.
hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Ikeja.
Best of luck, Arun. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Best of luck, Arun. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Mekelle.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Amritsar.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope July is when things finally get easier. God bless
