House Cleaning

Cleaning service is being requested to help prevent CYS placement from occurring. There are two kids, age 15 yrs and 11 yrs old. There are multiple mental health needs in the mother's home such as the kids having severe ADHD and OCD. The 15 yr old child is afraid of dirty air and uses hand sanitizer to the point where her hands are raw from the amount of hand sanitizer applied on daily. The kids struggle to be able to sleep in their own bedroom because there are large amounts of clutter and dirty items cover the area. The 15 yr old child sleeps on one small section of the couch, with the remaining parts of the living room furniture covered in clutter and dirty debris. The mother is diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and the mother is currently undergoing many doctor appointments for severe back pain which does not allow the mother to stand/walk for long periods of time. The mother was also recently diagnosed with diabetes. The mother has been unable to upkeep the cleanliness of the house. Children & Youth has monitored this decline in mental health and home status for several months. The family is out-reaching to the community asking for supports to help provide a professional cleaning service to help get the house back to a healthy household status to avoid CYS removal of the children. This family is open with many therapeutic services and are engaged in their services. The children's parents are divorced; the mother & kids resides 2 hours away from family supports. The children have minimal contact with their extended family due to their family not support LGBTQ communities.
