My name is Niraj Batra, and I am from India

There was a time when life felt simple.

Everything was going well. Dreams didn’t feel too far, and happiness came easily. I had someone I loved deeply, and I truly believed we were building a future together.

But in 2020, everything changed.

She left.

At first, I didn’t believe it was the end. I told myself she would come back. Days turned into months, and months into years. For three years, I held onto hope… hope that one day things would go back to the way they were.

But in 2023, I found out she had married someone else.

That was the moment something inside me broke completely.

I felt lost. Empty. Like the life I once knew had disappeared. And before I could even begin to heal, life dealt another blow.

Just three months later, I lost my mother.

The one person who had always been my strength… gone.

That pain is hard to describe. It wasn’t just heartbreak anymore—it felt like my whole world collapsed. I stopped recognizing myself. I made mistakes. I took wrong decisions. I lost direction.

But somewhere deep inside, a small part of me still wants to live again.

Today, I’m trying to stand up from everything that broke me. I’m trying to rebuild my life from nothing. It’s not easy. Some days are still very heavy. But I don’t want to give up.

I’m asking for help—not just financially, but as a chance to start over. A chance to heal, to grow, and to become someone stronger than my past.

If you can support me in any way, you’re not just helping me survive… you’re helping me find my life again.

Thank you for reading my story.
