Hi, my name is Lukasz. I’ve been living in the UK for over 15 years. I’ve always tried to work hard, follow the rules, and stay kind and respectful. But today, I’m reaching out because I’m struggling deeply — mentally, emotionally, and financially.

In January, I was unfairly dismissed from a job where I was doing everything expected of me during probation. I wasn’t fired because I didn’t care or didn’t try — I was dismissed because I’m different. I have been living with undiagnosed ADHD and autism, and I’ve been carrying this silent battle for years.

Now, in my most recent job, I’ve just been suspended — simply for forgetting my uniform one day, and because I used noodle soup to take my medication, as I had no money for a drink. Instead of being asked if I was okay, I was judged. There was no empathy. Just punishment.

In both places, I felt like I was being used as garbage because of my condition — like I didn’t matter. Not because of poor performance, but because of different performance. Because I think carefully before I speak. Because I take longer to process things. Because I live with trauma. Because I walk through life with a different rhythm.

I’ve been bullied, targeted, and pushed out. My condition has been twisted into an excuse to discard me. I’ve been told to “forget my family,” “forget my past,” and even to “learn English properly after 15 years.” These are not just insults — they are deep wounds that reinforce the rejection I’ve been feeling.

I don’t have anyone to lean on now. Some friends have blocked me. Others told me they can’t support me anymore. I have no support, no family nearby, no safe place to go, and no money to survive the next few weeks. I’m not okay, and I’m not ashamed to say that.

This is not about asking for pity. This is about survival. About wanting to be seen. About asking for help when there’s nothing else left. Please, if you can donate even a small amount, it would help me afford food, shelter, and basic needs. If you can’t donate, please share this. Just showing that you care means the world right now.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for believing in people like me, who just want a chance — not to be thrown away, but to be understood.

With all my heart,

Lukasz
