York

Help please!

I’m at a complete loss to be honest and don’t know what to do, if anyone can shed some light on our situation or help house us or anything please comment.

Don’t even know where to begin. 🙈

We were a family of 4 ( 2 adults, 1 child and baby) living in a small 2 bed house). We are soon to have another baby due in 2 months- I’ve been looking for a private rented house daily since October and did not expect to find it so difficult as have never had any issues previously. There are just no 3 beds around at all and I’ve even upped the mileage to 20 miles out of York.

My husbands eldest is also now living with us and isn’t allowed to return to mum. They are currently sleeping on the sofa - which isn’t ideal.

The council have said that they are unable to help us.

My husband is in his 30s and has recently been diagnosed with various long term incurable conditions. He experiences chronic pains daily and cannot move without strong pain relief. Stress is a known factor to exacerbate his pains.

Stress is high in this house as it is far too overcrowded and we are all on top of eachother. There is literally no room to get some headspace.

My husband has been told a carer will need to come to the house, along with physio/ occupational therapist.

I’m trying to keep my stress levels down with baby growing, but it is incredibly hard.

We just feel like we are getting no where. My husband suggested that if we aren’t moved by May that we will have to change our dining area into a sleeping area for our 1 year old, he will have to sleep on the sofa and then there will be room for the baby in our room, but then this leaves no where for his eldest.

There must be someone out there who is able to help us. 🙏🏻
