<div>My name is Mahesh Goyal (B.Tech, IIT Kanpur 1989), and I never imagined I would reach a day where I would need to ask for help. But life has completely broken me — physically, financially, and emotionally — and I am fighting to survive.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For the past months, I have been in and out of the hospital, barely able to walk, barely able to see, and unable to work. I am facing the terrifying possibility of homelessness.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Today, I’m sharing my story with humility and honesty, hoping that friends, batchmates, and compassionate strangers can help me survive this chapter.

<div>❤️ <strong>My Health Has Collapsed Completely</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In a short period of time, I have suffered:

</div>

<div>• Legally blind in my left eye (90% vision gone)

</div>

<div>• A broken foot that requires surgery soon

</div>

<div>• Three heart attacks

</div>

<div>• Severe diabetes

</div>

<div>• Major Depressive Disorder (Treatment-Resistant)

</div>

<div>• Multiple hospital stays

</div>

<div>• Extreme physical weakness

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The combination of blindness, foot injury, heart damage, and severe depression has left me unable to work or even perform basic daily tasks.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am alone in the U.S. without family support, and every day I live with the fear of losing my home.

</div>

<div><strong>What I Need Help With</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My rent and utilities total $2,500 per month.

</div>

<div>I need support for 24 months until my health stabilizes and I become eligible for Social Security in October 2027.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Rent + Utilities for 24 months:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>$2,500 × 24 = $60,000

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This fundraiser will help me:

</div>

<div>• Stay housed

</div>

<div>• Get foot surgery

</div>

<div>• Receive treatment for vision loss

</div>

<div>• Manage diabetes

</div>

<div>• Attend cardiology and mental health appointments

</div>

<div>• Buy food and basic essentials

</div>

<div>• Pay for transportation to doctors

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Your help could literally save my life.</strong>
