My name is Lukasz Kludczynski, and I never thought I’d be here asking strangers for help — but right now, I’m running out of options and hope. This year has been devastating. In January, I was unfairly dismissed from my job at a time when I had not yet been diagnosed with ADHD and an anxiety disorder. Since then, my diagnosis has been confirmed — but instead of understanding or support, these vulnerabilities have been used against me, including by my ex-partner who is also my landlord. I’ve been living in Southampton under a tenancy agreement we both signed. What started as a home with my partner became a situation of domestic and financial abuse. Even after our relationship ended, I kept contributing to the flat — trying to do the right thing — but instead I’ve been met with harassment, bullying and threats, both from him and from his father. I’ve been pressured to pay far more than our signed agreement states, and made to feel unsafe in the very place where I live. Being in an LGBT relationship should have been about support and care, but instead it has left me living on the edge. I’ve received verbal abuse and messages implying I’m moving out; his father confronted me directly, saying “hopefully you’re paying him right” because he “doesn’t want his son having problems with finances.” Meanwhile my ex has moved to London for work, leaving me alone in this flat with all the stress, leaks, and neighbour complaints. His family never once asked if I’m hungry or if I need anything. I’ve been left completely isolated. I’ve contacted Southampton City Council, Universal Credit, and I’ve started to gather evidence — but these processes take time, and I’m running out of strength and stability. Even with a tenancy agreement, he is trying to take action against me. I’m scared of becoming homeless, and my mental health has reached a point where I’m starting to doubt if I can keep living like this. I’m currently working night shifts, but the job is only temporary and barely covers my basic needs. What I need most is a safe place to live, even a double room where I can bring my cats, who are my emotional support and the only family I have here. I also need a chance to recover mentally from the abuse and rebuild my life. Your support — financial, emotional, or practical — could save me right now.

Life is full of ups and downs, and I’ve always believed in getting back up — but right now, I’ve been left completely alone, and I’m asking for help to make it through this. Please help me find safety, dignity, and a chance to rebuild. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for not letting me disappear.
