Desperate mum can't wash disabled daughter as flooding ruins 'smelly' room with 'slime'

dailystar.co.uk:

mum-of-three said she can't wash her disabled daughter because her wet room is constantly flooding with a "slime" substance floating across the floor.

Rhea Lawrence, from Merton, said her family are too "embarrassed" to let people into their home due to their only bathroom being out of access at their flat, which is run by Clarion Housing Association.

The mum, who lives in a two-bedroom property with her kids, said her home has suffered from on-and-off flooding for seven years, with mould caked into their walls.She said the mucky conditions have taken a toll on her 11-year-old daughter who has autism, ADHD and sensory processing disorder and suffers from meltdowns due to being unable to shower.The working mum said the conditions are so bad that she had to throw away her families Christmas presents after mould invaded her cupboards.Speaking to the Daily Star, the mum said: "We are left with a flooded bathroom we are unable to use unless we walk through smelly old water to get to the toilet."We have mould on most of our walls which every time I treat it comes back in a week or two which also affects my children's health."There are always puddles on the window seals and the walls are always wet."

Rhea went on to say that she finds it "distressing" when she has to watch her eldest daughter get "upset" over the faulty shower."It affects her by not letting her stick to her daily routine which means she has more meltdowns and anger because she can't be regulated," she said."We have to cause her upset by either not giving her daily showers or visiting different relatives to use their wash facilities."The mum added that the longest.
