Single mother in a transitional property requiring carpet/upholstery cleaner
Domestic & Family Violence
GIVIT
We are currently supporting a single mother with 3 children who have fled from interstate due to experiencing domestic violence perpetrated by her ex-partner. The family are currently residing in a medium-term transitional property and whilst they have settled in the area well, they are still having to deal with the effects of trauma whilst the mother is still having to appear in court for charges the ex-partner have.
We often find that once people have had a chance to settle into a house, they start to experience a decline in their wellbeing as they have a chance to process what has happened after being in fight or flight for so long. The son has experienced a decline and is now wetting the bed again. He is very embarrassed about this and the mother is trying her best to normalise it. Having a carpet/ upholstery cleaner readily available would greatly assist them both, for easy clean ups and to avoid having to hire one constantly.
