My name is Aruna and I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm a wife who has suddenly lost her husband and a mother trying to stay strong for our two children during the most heartbreaking time of our lives. I sent my husband to work like any other day, never knowing it would be the last time I would see him. Later that day, we learned that he had suffered a massive heart attack and passed away suddenly.

My husband was a truly vibrant soul- someone who woke up every day with excitement and purpose. He was full of life and had a rare gift for spreading happiness wherever he went. His laughter, warmth, and positive energy touched everyone who knew him and our home was always filled with his joy. Losing him has left a silence and emptiness that feels impossible to fill.

I'm creating this fundraiser with a heavy heart to support my family as we navigate life after this unexpected loss. Without him, I'm facing not only profound grief, but also the reality of supporting our children on my own.

I am collecting these funds to help cover funeral and memorial expenses, as well as the significant cost of airlifting my husband to India so his parents can see their son one last time and say their final goodbyes. We need support to cover my children's education and immediate needs.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any kindness you are able to share during this incredibly difficult time.
