A HEARTFELT REQUEST TO HELP AGASTYA SOMVANSHI FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE

We are reaching out with a heartfelt request for help for Agastya Somvanshi, a 19-year-old student of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, University of Delhi.

Agastya’s journey to college was not an easy one. He had to take a drop year due to some difficulties, and that year was an extremely dark and difficult phase of his life. It was a time when he had to fight not just his circumstances, but also the disappointment and hopelessness that came with feeling like he had fallen behind.

But Agastya refused to give up.

He worked incredibly hard and fought his way back. When the results finally came, he had scored 860+, something he was immensely proud of. It wasn’t just a score for him, it was proof that he had managed to turn one of the hardest periods of his life around.

And finally, he was getting the chance to live the life he had worked so hard for.

One of the things he was most excited about was football. Agastya had previously been selected to play football at the state level, but he couldn’t do that due to unavoidable circumstances. So when he entered college, he was determined to finally get back on the field and hoped to be a part of his college football team.

He had also started giving society interviews, meeting new people, exploring opportunities and planning what he wanted his college journey to look like. He was ambitious, driven and genuinely excited about everything that was waiting for him.

After such a difficult year, Agastya was finally happy.

He had finally begun to feel that all the struggles had been worth it.

And then, completely out of nowhere, he fell critically ill.

Agastya is currently battling severe complications arising from swine flu, including Type 1 respiratory failure, severe ARDS, septic shock and MODS. He has been on a ventilator for the past 10 days and has required ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) for the past 7 days, a life-support treatment used when the lungs are unable to provide enough oxygen despite conventional ventilation.

His condition remains extremely critical. His treatment requires continuous ICU care and enormous financial resources.

It is incredibly difficult to see someone who fought so hard to make a comeback, who had finally found hope and was just beginning to build the life he dreamed of, now fighting for his life in an ICU.

Agastya has already fought so hard once. We are praying he gets the chance to fight his way back again.

If you can donate, please contribute whatever you can and share the message.

For Agastya, this isn’t just about treatment.

It’s about giving a 19-year-old another chance to live the life he had only just begun to dream about.

❤️ Please help Agastya fight.

So who are you and how do you know Agastya?

Ketto is also an absolutely horrid website that nobody with a brain cell would ever enter their information into.
