Mateusz Szmajduch in the program “Our new home” he appeared as an 18-year-old. After the renovation, he did not hide his joy that he could finally live in decent conditions with his grandmother.

It is as if someone has opened the door to a new life for us. Now we will start everything anew, we will forget about the old house, the old problems – said Mateusz.

Mateusz found a job as a conductor, but relations with his grandmother deteriorated soon after. The young boy moved out of the house, but he was not able to enjoy independence. He lost his job, and untreated depression set in. He was forced to return to his grandmother. Shortly after, he took the most tragic step of taking his own life. He threw himself under a train and lost his leg. His story is so moving that a collection was created on the web.
