A mother shares her heartbreaking journey of battling mold and unsafe living conditions for her family
Acton: A single mum, Tanya Hall, has opened up about her tough four-year fight over her home. She feels like she’s lost everything due to mold and unsafe conditions.
Tanya, 42, had to call social services on her autistic son when their living situation became too dangerous. It’s been a rough ride for her and her kids.
She’s a healthcare worker and has shared how mold has wrecked her home. The family is now sleeping on the living room floor, which is just heartbreaking.
After a flood, they moved in with Tanya’s mum, but the repairs took way longer than expected. They thought it would be just eight weeks, but it’s been a nightmare.
Tanya has lost over £14,000 worth of belongings, including clothes and mattresses. She’s tried to replace things, but the mold keeps coming back.
She described the mold as being so bad it felt like “moth balls” and “fur balls” growing on their clothes. It’s no wonder she had to call for help.
Living with her mum has its challenges too. There’s no space for her boys to play, and the new place is starting to get moldy as well. It’s like a never-ending cycle.
Her son Haiden, who is nine and non-verbal, struggles with change. Tanya worries about how all this affects him. He’s used to having a garden to play in, and now he doesn’t have that anymore.
Back in 2014, when they first moved into the A2dominion property, Tanya had no idea what was coming. She thought she was just being overcharged for electricity, but it turned out to be a bigger issue.
Now, she’s set up a GoFundMe page to help replace the items they’ve lost. It’s a tough situation, and she’s just trying to make the best of it.
The Sun has reached out to A2 Dominion for their side of the story. Tanya just wants a safe home for her family, and it’s sad to see her struggle like this.
