My name is Santu Bhatta. I am 34 years old and I live in a small village in West Bengal with my old parents. We have never had much money, but we always had love, hard work, and hope.
Everything changed in the blink of an eye.

One morning my father, who used to work daily as a labourer, fell badly at his construction site. His nerves got severely damaged. He cannot walk properly now and is always in pain. When my mother heard the news, the shock was too much for her weak heart. She collapsed and fell seriously ill the same day. Within weeks, doctors told us my father now has a heart problem too. Both my parents are fighting for their lives.

I run a tiny shop in our village that was our only source of income. A few years ago I took a small loan with big dreams to make it bigger so I could give my parents a better life. But destiny had other plans. Almost all the money I earned went into hospital bills, medicines, tests, and travel to the city for treatment. My shop slowly ran out of stock and finally shut down completely.

To repay the first loan I had to take more loans. Now the interest is growing every day like a monster. Recovery agents come to our home, shout, threaten, and harass my family. If my bedridden parents come to know about this loan trap, the tension will kill them before the diseases do. I hide my tears every night so they don’t see their only son breaking.

Right now:

• My father needs regular nerve treatment and heart medicines that cost thousands every month.
• My mother needs constant care and doctor visits.
• I have no income, no business, and loans of more than ₹4 lakh hanging over my head.

I am not asking for pity. I am only asking for a chance – a chance to save my parents’ lives and restart my small shop so I can stand on my own feet again and repay whatever help I receive. whatever you can spare will bring us one step closer to hope.

If we reach the goal:

• First priority: Clear the most urgent loans so the agents stop coming home and my parents stay calm.
• Second: Restart treatment for both my parents without any break.
• Third: Buy basic stock to reopen my village shop and earn with dignity again.

I have no one else to turn to. You are my last hope.Please, if you ever felt the pain of seeing your parents suffer, please help this son keep his mother and father alive. Your small help can give three lives a second chance. From the bottom of my heart thank you. Santu Bhatta (A helpless son from a small village in West Bengal)
