Short Story
Hi, I’m Syamkrishnan from India. I’m in recovery from gambling and porn addiction and currently under treatment with a psychiatrist and psychologist. My family is drowning in ₹25 lakh (~$30,000 USD) debt after my mother’s breast cancer diagnosis and my father’s business loss post-COVID.
I’ve restarted my ACCA studies and taken a small job, but we’re struggling to survive. I’m trying to rebuild my life and support my parents. Any help — even a little — would mean the world to us.
Fighting Debt, Recovery, and Cancer – Helping My Family and Myself Start Over
Story
Hi, my name is Syamkrishnan. I’m from India, and I’m reaching out with the most honest story I’ve ever told.
🙏 I need your help — not just for me, but for my family.
Over the last few years, we’ve been through things I never imagined. I made mistakes that hurt me, my finances, and my family deeply — but I’m now on the path to recovery, and I’m doing everything I can to turn our lives around.
💔 What Happened
-
I fell into addiction — gambling and porn — and it wrecked my mental health and finances. I was in a very dark place.
-
Around the same time, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and our family’s world was shattered.
-
My father’s business collapsed during COVID, leaving us with no steady income.
-
Together, we’ve taken loans and borrowed from friends and family just to survive. Today, we are in ₹25 lakh (2.5 million INR) of debt and can no longer manage.
💪 What I’m Doing Now
I want you to know I’m not giving up. I’ve started rebuilding, piece by piece:
-
I’m in active treatment — meeting both a psychiatrist and psychologist regularly.
-
I’ve completely stopped gambling and I’m fully committed to recovery.
-
I’ve resumed my ACCA studies — I had paused them due to mental health issues, but I’m now continuing.
-
I’ve taken up a small job, which doesn’t pay much, but it’s a start, and I’m grateful for it.
Every day is a step forward — not just for me, but for my family.
🙏 Why I’m Asking for Help
We are drowning in debt. With interest piling up and medical bills continuing, we are unable to see a way out. My parents have sacrificed everything for me — now I want to do the right thing for them.
Your support will help us:
-
Pay off the most urgent parts of the ₹25L debt (loans with high interest, medical bills)
-
Afford continued treatment and support for my recovery
-
Keep my family from losing everything
❤️ What This Means to Me
I’m not asking for pity. I’m asking for a second chance. Your help would give me the breathing room to stay on this recovery path, support my family, and work toward a better future. I promise to keep you updated every step of the way.
Thank you for reading. Even a small donation or a share can mean the world.
With gratitude,
Syam
