Latest Update


Dear Donors,

Soumya was diagnosed with a spinal cord injury, and in 2024 was also diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis.

He experiences severe back and joint pain, morning stiffness, fatigue, and limited mobility.

He requires twice-daily physiotherapy sessions and monthly biologic injections under continuous supervision.

He is dependent on a wheelchair for basic daily activities and needs uninterrupted treatment to prevent worsening and irreversible damage.

The family has exhausted all personal savings, liquidated assets, and requires financial support to continue his treatment.

Your constant support can make a world of difference to his life. Keep sharing and donating as much as you can.

Story


My name is Soumya Chakraborty. I am 40 years old and live in Kolkata, West Bengal. Today, I am reaching out not just with words, but with a heart full of desperation and hope. I am undergoing treatment at the Institute of Neurosciences, Kolkata. The doctors are guiding me through recovery, but the costs are now far beyond what I can manage on my own.


2 and a half years ago, my life changed completely. What followed has been a constant battle against pain, immobility, and uncertainty. I was diagnosed with Spinal Cord Injury in 2023 at Fortis Hospital, Kolkata, and later with Ankylosing Spondylitis in 2024 at the Institute of Neurosciences. Together, these conditions have slowly taken away my ability to live a normal life. The pain is relentless. Each day feels like a struggle, but I refuse to give up. 🙏

Here is my appeal video where I share what I am going through: https://youtu.be/ZY-ySQqlzF8?si=Xdxu9CwZV1FPWSQg


There was a time when my days were filled with freedom and movement. I loved exploring new places, riding through Leh Ladakh, Manali, Darjeeling, Meghalaya, and moving across cities like Kolkata, Bangalore, Jaipur, and New Delhi for work and travel. Every journey gave me life. Today, even sitting, standing, bathing, or sleeping has become a challenge. Morning stiffness, constant back and joint pain, and fatigue have left me dependent on a wheelchair and regular support.

My treatment now requires 2 physiotherapy sessions every single day to slowly regain movement, along with monthly biologic injections that keep my condition from worsening. The doctor has clearly advised that these treatments must not be interrupted, as any delay can cause rapid worsening and even permanent loss of mobility.


So far, I have managed my treatment by exhausting everything I had. Over the last two and a half years, all savings, fixed deposits, mutual funds, and even family jewellery have been sold to cover medical bills. I live with my 70-year-old mother in Berhampore, Murshidabad. We have no other family support and no income left to depend on.

This is why I need your help. Your donation will directly go towards my daily therapies, monthly injections, and hospital bills. Your support can help me walk again, reduce my pain, and give me a chance to live with dignity.


A little about me beyond my illness: 2 and a half years ago, I built something very close to my heart: my gaming startup, GamoteX. It was recognised with honours such as Top Gaming for 2022 by Silicon India, Top 5 Startup by the British Deputy High Commission, Top 5 in Gaming and Animation by CII, and Emerging Company by the Indian Achievers Forum. Unfortunately, due to my failing health and overwhelming medical costs, I had to shut it down. Still, I hold on to the dream of regaining my independence, rebuilding my career, this time in AI and fintech and supporting my mother.

From the bottom of my heart, I ask you to stand by me in this journey. Please donate if you can, and share my story with others who may be able to help. Your support can give me not just treatment, but the chance to dream again.


Thank you for being here for me in my hardest time.

আমার নাম সৌম্য চক্রবর্তী। আমার বয়স ৪০ বছর এবং আমি পশ্চিমবঙ্গের কলকাতায় থাকি। আজ, আমি কেবল কথার মাধ্যমে নয়, হতাশা এবং আশায় ভরা হৃদয় নিয়ে আমার কাছে পৌঁছাচ্ছি। আমি কলকাতার ইনস্টিটিউট অফ নিউরোসায়েন্সেসে চিকিৎসাধীন। ডাক্তাররা আমাকে সুস্থতার পথ দেখাচ্ছেন, কিন্তু খরচ এখন আমার নিজের সামর্থ্যের চেয়ে অনেক বেশি।


আড়াই বছর আগে, আমার জীবন সম্পূর্ণরূপে বদলে গেল। এরপর ব্যথা, অচলতা এবং অনিশ্চয়তার সাথে অবিরাম লড়াই শুরু হয়। ২০২৩ সালে কলকাতার ফোর্টিস হাসপাতালে আমার স্পাইনাল কর্ড ইনজুরি ধরা পড়ে এবং পরে ২০২৪ সালে ইনস্টিটিউট অফ নিউরোসায়েন্সেসে আমার অ্যাঙ্কাইলোজিং স্পন্ডিলাইটিস ধরা পড়ে। একসাথে, এই অবস্থাগুলি ধীরে ধীরে আমার স্বাভাবিক জীবনযাপনের ক্ষমতা কেড়ে নিয়েছে। ব্যথা অসহনীয়। প্রতিদিনই একটা সংগ্রামের মতো মনে হয়, কিন্তু আমি হাল ছাড়তে রাজি নই। 🙏


এখানে আমার আবেদনময় ভিডিওটি আমি আমার অভিজ্ঞতা শেয়ার করছি: https://youtu.be/ZY-ySQqlzF8?si=Xdxu9CwZV1FPWSQgএকটা সময় ছিল যখন আমার দিনগুলো স্বাধীনতা এবং চলাফেরায় ভরা ছিল। আমি নতুন নতুন জায়গা ঘুরে দেখতে, লেহ লাদাখ, মানালি, দার্জিলিং, মেঘালয়ের মধ্য দিয়ে গাড়ি চালিয়ে কাজ এবং ভ্রমণের জন্য কলকাতা, ব্যাঙ্গালোর, জয়পুর এবং নতুন দিল্লির মতো শহরগুলোতে ঘুরে বেড়াতে পছন্দ করতাম। প্রতিটি যাত্রাই আমাকে জীবন দান করেছে। আজ, এমনকি বসা, দাঁড়ানো, স্নান করা বা ঘুমানোও একটি চ্যালেঞ্জ হয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে। সকালবেলায় শক্ত হওয়া, পিঠে এবং জয়েন্টে ব্যথা, এবং ক্লান্তির কারণে আমি হুইলচেয়ার এবং নিয়মিত সহায়তার উপর নির্ভরশীল।
