A single mother with four minor children is coping with a complex and difficult daily reality. One of the children is diagnosed on the autism spectrum with low functioning: he is not toilet trained and requires diapers, does not make eye contact, and is completely unaware of danger, therefore requiring full and constant supervision at all hours of the day. Due to the need for close care of the child, the mother was forced to stop working. The financial situation is very difficult. The child’s special needs require living in a safe, ground-level apartment in an adapted environment that allows supervision at every moment. During a home visit, broken furniture and significant wear were observed, but the family cannot afford repairs, as the limited income is designated primarily for food and urgent living expenses.
