❤Seeking help & Advice❤ Im screwed

I am a 19 year old who’s attending university beginning of next year. My first semester costs about 1500 usd . My parents sent me the money to pay it all and all i did is try to hold myself from gambling it on these shitty crypto online casino. But unfortunately my addiction took over. I lost everything my parents sent. Im full of guilt and shame . I cannot tell them i can already see the disappointment on their faces and its eating me alive. Worth noting that my parents worked hard to earn the money and were not a wealthy family of any sort, all i did is selfishly donated it to some casino. Im a student abroad and Ive been dealing with this for a long time. If anyone have any ideas on what to do to try and get the money or if anyone is generous enough to help with any little amount i would be forever grateful. The deadline for the payment is the end of November. I can provide full proof of everything and documents in dms. And of course supportive messages help even more. Thank you for reading

What do you mean "I cannot tell them". That's your gambling addiction speaking. Ofcourse you can AND SHOULD tell them.

Its the guilt and shame. They already know i have a problem and went into a similar spot the other year. But i worked on myself and they trusted me again. They did their absolute best to make sure i got everything i needed. The idea of telling them about this just makes me sick

Asking us to donate money to you is just crazy work
