Viral is a single parent of two young children - help us after the death of my husband
A single parent in Pune needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Viral retrains.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India702 views
Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $400 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $90
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
• Rent top-up: $230
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
Updates from Viral
Thank you all. We're at 100% now ($402). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled.
Update from Pune: I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 62% funded and I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

Sending good thoughts, Viral. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Viral?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about childcare and after-school care, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Pune.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Cairo!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Heraklion.
