A mother caring for herchildren, including a son with autism, is living in unsafe and emotionally distressing condition
Domestic & Family Violence
This mother of multiple children, including a son with autism, is facing severe hardship. Her current home is unsuitable and unsafe—located on a busy road that makes it hard for anyone to sleep, especially her autistic son. She is severely sleep-deprived, constantly attending to his needs. Despite trying various remedies, rest remains out of reach, and even visiting a doctor feels impossible without support.
She is also dealing with the trauma of a past assault. The home still shows physical damage from the incident, triggering intense fear and distress. She flinches at shadows and sudden movements and has expressed deep pain over her appearance, unable to afford treatment for facial injuries.
The family lacks adequate space, increasing emotional strain. She also struggles with memory loss linked to trauma, making it hard to access support services.
She urgently needs assistance to relocate to a safer environment, access medical care, and provide a stable, healing space
