The mother of a boy with Down Syndrome has told how the family will be made homeless on Thursday, saying: “I don’t know where we will go.”
Carer and healthcare worker Natasha White applied for housing as a medical priority for her son Andre, 14, who has Down Syndrome, autism, and a form of juvenile arthritis. But the local council refused them, saying a home of their own would not improve his condition.
Now Natasha, 37, and her three children - Andre, 14, Carter, 9, and Cali, 5 - have to leave their rented house in Dublin’s Ballyfermot, as the landlord is selling up.
