Hope for Hugo Facing Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity.

Today, I am going to tell you about the invisible, but very real, fight that Hugo is living.

Since 2019, his daily life has been turned upside down. What began as simple headaches has, over the years, turned into constant, intrusive, and now unbearable suffering. After many fainting spells, emergency visits and a long medical odyssey, he understood that he was suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity to high frequencies (radio, mobile phone, wifi…), low frequencies (electricity) and climatic variations (natural electromagnetic fields).

Since December 2021, he has been on unpaid sick leave, can no longer work and has the RSA as his only income.
A still unrecognized illness, without treatment, without solution... but which is gradually destroying his life.

Today, aged 27, his life is a daily struggle, survival.
My friend is forced to live isolated, in a space of only 4 m2, without electricity or running water, protected as best as possible by shielding fabrics (Faraday cage). Leaving this space exposes him to extreme physical pain: violent migraines, dizziness, respiratory problems, fainting... His body can no longer tolerate what most of us do not even feel, electromagnetic fields being everywhere and his sensitivities being very high (immune reactions).
He can no longer work or have a social life; he was a corporate real estate consultant and had a full, fulfilling social life.
He depends entirely on his parents for every basic daily need as well as for communication with the outside world, with which he can only communicate by letter.
His daily activities now consist of reading, doing paper puzzles, or sometimes board games when friends come to see him. Sadly, these pastimes are becoming rarer and rarer; his close circle continues their lives, leaving him behind, which drastically reduces visits from the people dear to him just to chat and check in.

In winter, in this small outbuilding at the bottom of his parents’ garden, only a small gas heater protects him from the cold, and still temperatures drop to 8° at night and barely reach 18° during the day.
In 4 m² Hugo “lives”, sleeps, eats, washes, and relieves himself.
Damp and mold are omnipresent, everything lit by candles, and to all this are added pain and loneliness.

Everything has been tried. Answers have been sought from scientists around the world and particularly with the CNRS – Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
Hugo has read, learned, solicited and participated in study projects; he hoped when he still could. He is still in contact with these research teams.
But today, he is exhausted. Physically. Mentally. His health only worsens with a new relay antenna installed and directed toward his home and placed only 2.5 km away, which led to his life in 4 m² since 12/05/2025, so for more than a year now.

His only wish is to “get his old life back”... that is impossible today; he would simply like to live with a minimum of dignity.

Create a healthier and more livable living space, shielded, a little larger, a little warmer with possibly a fireplace, a place where he could “breathe” without suffering so much and at least stretch his legs.
That is why we are reaching out to you.
Every donation, even the smallest, is a chance to offer him a little respite, a little humanity in this unbearable daily life.
If you cannot give, sharing his story is already a huge help.
For the creation of this living space, nearly €30,000 are required, nearly €5,000 just for the anti-wave shielding (the fitting-out work will be carried out by his parents and friends, which saves on labor costs).
This room will be connected neither to running water (too complex and costly) nor to electricity.
The chosen solution will be modular construction (Algeco-type) because the goal remains to find a “white zone” (network-free zone) near his current place of residence and to be able to move this structure there; this zone has still not been found.

In summer 2025, “Oise Hebdo” came to meet him; you can read the article by following this link:

souffrance-humaine/

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who will take the time to read, to understand, and perhaps to help him.

Because today, alone, he can no longer do it.

Update of 08/10/2026:

Following a disappointment with the initial modular construction supplier (they refuse to provide a clear quote or even an invoice) we had to turn to a more serious and unfortunately more expensive provider than the initial estimates (please note that their price was adjusted for Hugo).
We choose to be transparent with all of you, donors, and we thank you warmly on behalf of Hugo who would like to be able to thank you directly.
For this reason we are putting the quotes online while masking the private contact details of the companies and of Hugo.
You can find the quote for the modular constructions; the shielding equipment; and the adaptations necessary for habitability in the photo gallery.
We thank you all infinitely for your kindness and your contributions. 🙏
