Vivaan is a single parent of four children - help us after a house fire
A single mother in Mumbai needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Vivaan retrains.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,004 views
After a house fire in August, I'm now raising four children 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 December, 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 $500 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $160
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Rent top-up: $180

Sending love, Vivaan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Madrid.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mumbai.
wishing you peace, Vivaan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Thinking of you and your family, Vivaan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
You're not alone, Vivaan. This could happen to any of us. Love from Sydney.
sending strength, Vivaan. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Rooting for you, Vivaan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
you're not alone, Vivaan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
you're not alone, Vivaan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Osaka.
