This video was very hard to watch. This happened to my family. We kids were sleeping in beds with cat urine and fecal matter, and our carpets were full of fleas. We had no hot water and had to boil it on the stove to wash ourselves. My mother was an orphan who suffered from abuse and neglect in her own life and eventually turned to alcohol, as did my father, to cope with stress. Thanks to people like yourself, we were assisted in various ways (house cleaning by church friends, cats were removed by an aunt, new transportation was donated, etc.) and slowly my parents got back on track. They spent the last 20 years of their lives sober, happy, and in control. What you do matters! (Adding a note here because several people have asked about the cats. We had about 25 cats when feline leukemia broke out and a majority of the cats got quite sick. My aunt paid a veterinarian to come to the house while we kids were at school and he fixed and vaccinated the cats who could be saved, and euthanized those who could not. It was one of the worst days in my life, but it was a huge help to my parents and it was all done with the best intentions.)

This was me in 2015. I'd finally managed to escape an extremely abusive relationship. Whilst my ex was at work, I got my 3 babies together, packed a few suitcases, and left. We had nowhere to go, so we were homeless for a while, then we got a spot in a women's refuge. My health was at an all-time low, I desperately needed surgery (my ex broke my jaw and smashed all my teeth, but I wasn't allowed to seek medical treatment at the time, so my entire facial structure was a mess) and I became addicted to opioids (pills) because I was always in so much pain. I managed to rent us a house, and that's when I completely broke down. At my worst, I didn't sleep for 3 weeks straight, so I'd started hallucinating - it was bad. Our house ended up exactly like this one, bar the cat related issues, as we didn't have any pets. Even though I was finally free, I wasn't free from the trauma, and it brought me to my knees. My kids suffered greatly, and I don't think I'll ever forgive myself for that. One of my neighbours could see that I had totally spiralled, so she made me accept her help to clean up the house (she was Swedish, and very persistent lol.) We got it done over a weekend, and things started looking up. I sought help for my mental health, and my insomnia issues. I eventually got myself off the opiates and also got the surgery I needed, then I went on to move and get a great job. It was a long road, but I got there. These days, I sleep well, I clean, I garden, I paint, and I live my life everyday with the goal of doing everything I can to support my kids; they are who I get out of bed for. I'm just about to go back to full-time work after a hiatus, and I no longer live in a waking nightmare. I have hope. The point is, people often think that once someone is out of a bad situation, that's it - they're fine. A lot of people didn't understand why I had a complete breakdown *after* I got out. What we don't talk about enough is the aftermath; the after effects of traumatic experiences, the fear, the energy it takes to push through that fear, the nightmares, the stress, the hopelessness, and what it actually takes to get back on one's feet after living in abject misery and fear for years. We don't always just bounce back, sometimes we land even further down the gutter. It takes monumental effort to escape abuse, and we're often left absolutely empty once we go through getting out. It takes time to build those energy reserves back up, and in the meantime, everything can - and often does - fall apart. It's wonderful to know that there are people out there who are empathetic enough to look beyond the overwhelming mess in front of them, to see into what the problem really is, and to just help. We all need a little help sometimes.

Anyone complaining about using too much water/product has never smelt a home like this, of course you dont want to hose your house down everyday if it's not built to do so, but over cleaning a house in this condition is a good thing, you want to knock out as much bacteria as you possibly can, and even have some fun with bubbles because keeping good mental health through a clean like this is just as important. So happy we have people like you in the world to help families and people to move on from hard times.

I imagine those kids come to school one day , being clean and tidy, no smell of pee and something, clean clothes and clean hair…. I just get so happy for them❤

My best advice for parents who are drowning in problems. DO NOT ADD PETS TO THE EQUATION. It won't end well and the animals end up neglected.

when you say you’re the best cleaner in the world, it really is true. You cleaning for those that can’t, not judging, and for free. You’re an amazing person with a beautiful soul

As someone who was a teacher for 20 years, thank you for helping these kids. I taught middle and high school kids, and it was amazing how many of them were in this kind of situation. One of my students told me he had no bed. Their apartment was filled with 8 mattresses and his parents rented them for 8 hours to anyone who could pay, so often he had nowhere to sleep because all the mattresses were rented. God help us. Also, great job on getting the kids mattresses. That's a GIANT help. Someone needs to keep checking on this family to keep the mom accountable. We didn't see the mom's room or bathroom, so I'm guessing she had to clean those herself. It's great that she cleaned her bathroom. This apartment was a health hazard, for sure, and the children deserve better.

I grew up in a similar situation. Thank you for helping these kids! I wish someone like you had come to our apartment growing up. They will remember this the rest of their lives ❤

I don't know if you've heard this tip before but if you are cleaning a home with a lot of cat litter/urine scent everywhere, place a large mason jar of hot water and white vinegar in the room about an hour before you go in and leave it there while you clean. It helps neutralize the scent and makes a huge difference in air quality I swear

Just want this mom to know the first and hardest step is getting help. You got you and your children out of an abusive house, You've stopped drinking, your house is clean. These a huge, huge, huge steps and you should feel super proud of yourself. I know I'm proud of you and so many others are too. Now it's time to enjoy your boys and to love yourself. You deserve a clean space. You deserve to love yourself. ❤️

I help single mothers who are struggling…with their home, clutter, cleaning & organizational skills. Not a business, I just help…I’m a retired nurse. I know I leave Huge impacts in their lives and in their children’s lives. Love what you do Auri - luv. We are energetic sisters in many ways. 😘

Speaking as someone who struggles with hoarding tendencies, depression, and anxiety, you really can’t understand the depth of what an amazing person you are for helping people. For saving them. I’ve managed to turn my life around mostly, thanks to the help of people like you, and while my home isn’t perfect, it is in such a better state. If someone reading this is struggling, i know how embarrassing and disheartening it is, but please seek help. There is hope on the other side. It takes a lot of work, but i promise you it is worth it. My heart goes out to this mother and her children. No judgment here. I pray you were able to turn your life around.

For those people who criticize Auri (using too much water or products, if she says trashes or squeewee...) DO BY YOURSELF EVERYTHING SHE DOES FOR FREE AND THEN COME BACK TO SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT. GET A LIFE!! She's an AMAZING PERSON who do incredibly work and literally she saves someone's life by giving a new fresh start!

The fact that people have anything to say about how much product or water you’re using…you’re a miracle worker, just do your thing omg

As a solo mom too, i understand the struggle. I broke into tears when you entered in the kids room and found out the mattresses... Thank you, for all what you do.

I'm glad to hear you talked with her and she did some cleaning too. I pray this motivated her to be diligent and do the work to keep it safe and clean for her family.

These videos are both hard and uplifting to watch. I went through a brief period like this when I was 20 and my kids 6m and 18m. My home never got this bad but it was bad enough, I was alone, so very broken from the trauma of a violent relationship with my kids dad and literally catatonic most of the time. I didn’t even drink or take drugs, I think I just went into shock. No one came to help me and watching you help these people moves me to tears and inspires me to do the same, because I know, I remember how it felt - what you’re doing is so special. Thank you! To anyone watching and judging these people… I hope that you never know the agony of losing yourself in this way.

Your an Angel. Im crying. I lost my Son 3 years ago this month so I know heartbreak and depression and what it does to people. What you're doing is such a gift. Im a mother of 4. Three here and 1 in Heaven at the age of 31. If no one has told Im so proud of you.

As a single mum of 3 who struggles with mh and other illnesses this hit close to home I have had issues with my home and like this mum I reached out for help and got myself back on track it's the hardest thing to admit your not doing good enough but the best feeling when you come out the other side your amazing for helping and giving her chance to have a better start in her ne life

The fact that you look at every item before you toss it out is incredible. They are lucky that you helped them.

My house looks like this and I am binge watching your video for motivation. Within a span of 2 years my dad had a stroke and a heart attack I was trying to take care of him, but I had school, then I was diagnosed with ADHD and a bad Hoarding habit. I was so scared about my dad I stress ate, put my physical and mental health and my home on the back burner I have already cleaned half of the rooms in my house thanks to you! My first room I cleaned was my cleaning closet so then that became SO useful when cleaning the other rooms!

The fact that child protective services weren't called way before this is mindblowing! Those children must have reeked and the teachers should have picked up on that. So happy they got help and hopefully the mother is able to recover. You are a saint

As a single parent with severe depression, i know the absolute crushing guilt: I love my kid, I want the best for her, but sometimes I can't even brush my own teeth. I clean as much and as often as I canz but sometimes I truly cannot

My heart goes to them.. as a single mom, if I didn't have my support system.. that would be my life. Thank you for helping them, in some way, you helped me too. This level of compassion and kindness brings me so much hope ❤

Can you imagine those kids on the future telling their histories to their families and commenting about a “woman” who helped them to change their lives? It means, This funny and kind girl will live forever on each person that she stand for! It’s amazing how she’s building her legacy on this planet! ❤❤❤❤❤

The kids must be overjoyed with their clean room and beds. I am so happy for them.

It’s so nice to watch someone identify a problem and choose to help ❤

I went thru the worst health crisis in my life. Was on the brink of death. For 2 years I struggled to do bare basic for my kids. I needed so much help and became dependent on my family. It was so hard. This is hard to see, but I am thankful because I could have been in this situation too if I didn't have help. You are an angel. My health is good now and I am grateful. Love your videos.

I used to think you simply joke when you say you're the best cleaner in the world. Because of you I saw a bunch, And I mean a WHOLE BUNCH of cleaning videos, cleantok etc. I then realized you are NOT JOKING. YOU REALLY ARE THE BEST CLEANER IN THE WORLD AURI

So impressed with her cleaning that last room herself. I hope she gains confidence and motivation from this experience.

I'm seeing so many comments degrading the mother. Sure, she should not have let it come to this, but you have ti give her credit for getting her kids away from an abusive home, quitting drinking, and reaching out for help bc she knew her kids deserved better. I praise her for doing all of that for her babies.

I love how positive and understanding you are, Aurii. I don’t think I could deal with broken glass and cat pee in the kids room and not be angry.

This video really "hits home" for me. I remember growing up in a house like this one. We had three cats though. I would constantly go without food or hot water. And there was urine and excrement from the cats everywhere. Even in the shower. I couldn't have friends round, I stank constantly. To this day my mum still lives like this. We had manyyy people come and help us. But it never stuck. I'm almost 24yrs old now. And I struggle with keeping a clean home. I've suffered from psychosis for almost 5yrs now. And am finally coming out the other end. Thankfully I haven't let it get to this level in a few years now (after moving out of my mums) but it's still not tidy. Now that I'm coming out the other side, I'm getting better at cleaning. And one of my goals for this year is to keep a tidy flat. I'm putting on your video today as cleaning motivation. So that over the next week I can get my place to a point where all I have to do is KEEP it tidy. Rather then doing a lot at once. I know for some people your help can be inspiring. And for me, I have found that in your KZfaq channel too. So, for everyone that gets help from your videos, we thank you. Have a lovely New Year! Goodbye for now. :3

As a Mom of 2 with depression I appreciate this videos and you SO much. You deserve the world and beyond and i wish everyone in this situations can get the help they need cuz once in a while it gets to me too and I know how hard it gets!

There are so many humans in so much pain. Watching these videos makes me more aware. Nothing is 2 dimensional so we must look beyond what we see with compassion. I’m happy this mother got some help with her home and I hope this gave her the opportunity to start from new. I hope she manages to maintain it for herself and her children.

You are so amazing for allowing her a safe space to reach out. Also Incredibly amazing for the work you do! This is no small accomplishment on either side and you did it in such a non judgmental way! Keep up the work you do! Not all heroes wear capes! 🥰🥰🥰

I appreciate the non-judgement, but I am still worried for the children's physical and mental well-being. I really hope the mother gets all the support she needs to provide a healthy and safe environment. Thank you for doing this. The mattress situation nearly broke my heart. I have two boys (4 and 7) and sometimes I feel guilty about cleaning when I should spend time with them or I feel guilty for not cleaning enough. Being a mom is always hard, but this was really tough to see.

I just want to say Auri, that seeing you getting overwhelmed with the obstacles and showing how it's okay for even you to ask for help is very nice and inspiring. You are a beacon of positivity! Keep up strong!

Managed to clean a living space for 2 of 3 people that was nearly identical to this - the third person is a senior citizen and their space is even bigger and not opening the door to allow me in. Oh boy. You are a GREAT INSPIRATION It makes lives just a little bit better when we help one another.

You're a blessing. I hate to see that children are being subjected to that. I battle with depression and I know how hard it is sometimes just to get up but no matter how bad or down I feel I push through it for my kids bc they don't deserve that, and that's my motivation

I love her confidence, the way she says; "I'm the best cleaner in the world"! She's definitely great at this & has a wonderful heart!!!

This was my reality as a child... My mom's house was way worse. It still is. I'm now a 28 year old mom with my own house and responsibilities and I had to teach myself how to do everything after I moved out. I'm still learning better ways to do things because I refuse to let my children go through what I did.

You and all the people that cleaned are so so amazing for helping this family. And kudos to the mother for starting over and being brave enough to get help for her and her children. It so heartbreaking to see people's lives so torn apart like this from abusive partners. Its horrible that someone could terrorize their partner and their children to the point they have to flee for their physical safety. Hurt them so much mentally that it could leave them in shambles this way. I feel so bad for the mother and children that had to escape a dangerous situation to then still feel trapped from mental anguish so bad it turns to a terrible situation again. You all really helped them have hope again and a true fresh start. Plus she cleaned the hell out that bathroom too. Wishing everyone the best!

This was how my childhood home was. Father used work as an excuse to avoid us, mom and the house. I tried to help my mom, but I was only 11 and a five bedroom house is a lot for a chronically ill mom and child to keep clean. We didn't have maggots, but we had constant ants and roaches. It was terrible.

You have changed the trajectory of these children's lives. The mother also did by reaching out for help regardless of the shame. This is the best motivation for cleaning I've ever seen you are wonderful :-) and so are your helpers*also I have found enzymatic cleaners like bio klean, or any other brand specific to pet urine works amazing, even on items that can't be washed. It's also important to use so the cats don't return to the same areas

I have bipolar disorder and am currently battling depression. My family knows about all of it but doesn't know the details about my living situation. Yesterday I had the courage to ask for help to clean for the first time, since my house was a mess and I was really ashamed about it. I've always made sure NOBODY sees it or knows how bad it is. Today me and my grandma cleaned together and managed to clean about 1/3 of the house. Your videos were a huge part of my decision to ask her for help since I've been too scared and ashamed of mysefl before. You're doing a great job and help a lot more people than just the ones you actually clean for.

As a single mom with two kids at the same age, i feel alot of empathy for the mom here. You are doing an amazing job, and i hope the mother gets the help she needs, to persue a more structured life. Ive got ADHD, depression and mental burnout but im seeking help and has been getting help all of 2023..wish her and her family all the best, and happy new year ❤

Thank you for helping this family. Its heart warmimg to see and I love that the Mum had cleaned the last room. I hope it gives her the boost she needs in life to look after herself and her children 💞

Those poor children would have smelled when they went to school. Here in Canada, those children would likely have been apprehended by children's aid. God bless you for helping this mom and her children start a new chapter. The most important thing is for the mom to have support in her sobriety. So glad you have helped her in that area. You are amazing!

I say this with kindness and empathy, maybe the children should stay with relatives (temporarily) until the mother gets serious help for her depression. It's obvious she's overwhelmed and needs intervention but it's not fair to have young children living like that.

When you told and showed us that the woman who lives there had cleaned the other bathroom herself after you'd done all the other cleaning, I cried. I know from my own experience what it's like to finally get a little energy to do things because others have helped and brought some hope.

I love seeing you make a difference in someone's home! 🎉I also clean with you at times, so thank you for being my cleaning buddy!

I feel badly for the cats too. They're such clean animals and loathe filthy litterboxes. This poor mom. What you and the helpers did was absolutely wonderful.

My heart hurt for this family. To the dear mother, I hope you are proud of yourself for the two VERY DIFFICULT + BRAVE steps you have taken. First, leaving an abusive relationship and second, recognizing that drinking was not the healthiest way to deal with the pain. You are so strong and wise. There is nothing like a fresh start to put the difficult past behind you. May you always remember your courage. Your children will always remember the braveness of your journey together. Love from NYC 🖤🖤🖤

I got tears in my eyes when you changed the mattresses and bedding. I'm so glad you are able to donate things they need. It must be fun to go shopping, especially for children. I respect the privacy of the families you help, but sometimes I wish I could see their faces when they come home to their clean spaces. Of course, don't think I'm suggesting you show them! They deserve their privacy, but, oh, the joy! That mom did an amazing job on that bathroom! The title says "ashamed single mom of two." I hope after this cleaning and your help, her new title is, "proud and happy single mom of two!!"

Thank you for celebrating the art of cleaning! I also clean for others and like you, love to transform dirt and chaos into a work of art. Many people refuse help out of shame, and think that spending money on help is a waste of money, or that the act of cleaning is degrading or exploitive. But beauty is essential to our well being.

Any time I want to clean but need a boost of motivation I watch these videos. Usually halfway through I get the urge to get up and clean!! ☺️ Then I sit down after, in a clean space, and watch the rest of the video. Makes me grateful I have the ability to be able to clean my space 🤍

To the person that helped her clean up te kid’s room And lifted the couch up : Thank you for helping to make the world a better place! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love your enthusiasm and no judgment! Blessings on you, your helpers on this clean. I know how hard it can be to clean like this. You are truly an earth angel in the work you do. Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤

What you do in two days for these families is amazing! You are a God send.

My home isn’t as bad as the houses in these videos, but I still feel overwhelmed. I’d much rather clean someone else’s place than my own. I watch these videos for a little motivation.

Seeing how the mom cleaned the bathroom is amazing!!

I wish you could do a follow up later on to show if things got even better and the family loves their place now. It was awesome to see the room the mom did on her own afterwards.

As someone who works in an animal shelter, I can definitely vouch for the smell of a place like this. I’m not talking about the “I know animals live here” smell. I mean when anything or anyone pees and it’s left, especially on fabric, it’s like fermented ammonia. When I do laundry at the shelter, even if the dog bedding has only been sitting for one day, when you pull the top blanket off the bin, the ammonia smell hits you like a truck and it’s suffocating. Add that to the rest of the garbage in this home, and all I can say is NO human or animal should ever have to live like this. I am so beyond grateful there are people like you who help these families restart their lives ❤️

Aurikatariina really is the best because she's there to HELP. not to shame the people into "doing better" she's here to help and provide a nice starting base. For many of us, cleaning the home alone is a major task. One that can seem impossible after a certain point. I'm so proud of this mom for asking for help and I hope to be a bit more like Aurikatariina as I grow up

I’m so happy you bought new mattresses and bedding for the kids. When I heard that the mattresses had cat urine, I admittedly hoped you found a way to replace them and was so glad you did. Future tip, put protective plastic sheeting under bedsheet/on top of mattress incase the cat returns to old habits. Then they can just wash the sheets and wipe the plastic sheet (good for bed wetters too) and the mattress will remain in good condition. Loved their rug. Wish I had the same. Very proud of the mum for asking for help

Dear Mom of 2 kids, you did an amazing job by asking Auri for help and getting things going. Life is tough and we all struggle with something. ❤❤❤ You are not alone and you can do this! Things will get better, I promise. ❤❤❤

I just wanted to say thank you so so much for the truely life changing good that you do for so many people who are at the end of their rope. You save them from their despair and give them a whole new lease on life! You are truly an angel of deliverance!!!!! Thank you so much for being a hero to so many people!!!! ❤❤❤❤

I was so glad you mentioned child protection at the end. These kids need to be in a clean, safe home. I hope the mom has gotten more help and the kids are doing well

My Dad was a drinker. I would clean the place he lived with his girlfriend and her children. Every weekend it was back to being the same mess, the baby was dirty and in dirty clothing. I would take on the job of looking after the other kids and the cooking and cleaning. It was terrible. We were so vulnerable. Bad people hurt us because they could get away with it - we didn't have an adult or anyone to protect us when I was at my Dad's place. Thank you Auri for doing what you are doing. I just hope these children have people who will show up and look after them long-term, the mother needs a lot more help.

You are amazing!! This pulled on my heartstrings so much and I was so thankful you were there to help that family!!

That’s incredible! Thank you for helping this family. ❤️

This was so hard to watch as my Mind was just on the kids. Big kudos to the mother who reached out and so much love for Auri for doing this. This is a truly heroic act of service and empathy. We need more of this in the world!

having been in abusive relationships, dealt with addiction and alcoholism myself, and just overal mental health issues, I am very impressed at both the mother for having the strength and determination to overcome and you for doing all you can to help give them that fresh start to help her keep moving forward

We need SINI products in the US 😍 you’re amazing Auri!! You’re so kind for replacing their personal products that needed replacing. We see your kind soul and good heart ❤️

Beautiful human beings , helping others that are struggling. The world needs more of you ❤

This reminds me so much of a girl I met in junior high and was friends with through high school. Her mother was al alcoholic and their home was almost exactly like this. Just garbage everywhere and her mother would throw everything everywhere. Most of her free time was spent cleaning up after her own mother. I felt so much for that sweet soul! She was determined to try to HELP her mother up until graduating from high school and needing to get her own life together. She joined the military, trained to be a nurse and now she is out with a job in a hospital. Her mother is pretty much still the same person, heavily drinking on a regular basis which is so sad but no one can help us if we won’t help ourselves. So thankful my friend had the strength to get away from her mother.

It’s nice to see almost zero negative comments judging the mom. Life is stressful and that mom is probably doing the best she can with what she has. I hope this is the first step in her getting back to a normal cleaning routine and her kids can have friends over. Sending her and her babes love and light. ❤

I love these videos so much! So satisfying and so nice of you to do these. You buying those kids new mattresses filled my heart so much

I am so happy that you were able to help this woman and her children! What a blessing you are to people who need you!

Shout out to the ladies who showed up to help Auri. Thank you!

Omg those poor babies having to live in such filth breaks my heart 💔 when you showed the pee soaked mattresses I wanted to cry. I know the mom is struggling but the children should not be in that environment unless/until she gets better, I pray social services keeps tabs on her and makes sure the home stays clean and safe for them

I’m very glad to hear that you mentioned and discussed child protection. Well Done to the mum for working On the last bathroom. I hope the family and kids have the life they all deserve

I just love your attitude so much!!! Your video brought me so much joy I know you blessed this family so much!!!

I had so many emotions watching this. I felt incredibly sorry for the kids because that level of neglect is actually abuse. But I felt sorrow and compassion for the mother too because she has suffered so much trauma. I'll admit it was difficult to understand how a mother could allow things to get that bad. If she had stopped drinking, why could she not start to bag up some of the rubbish? I felt sorry for the cats too. Cats are clean creatures. They hate filth. I was so glad that Auri spoke to the mum about CPS and that the authorities will be keeping an eye on her and supporting her. This must never happen again!! Thank you to the ladies who came and helped, and it was so great to see the windows open and letting in some clean, fresh air. I wish the mother well and I hope her kids will be ok after all the trauma they have gone through.

I would recommend wearing a good mask in future for any sort of job like this. You never know what you might be inhaling that is unsafe. We want you to stay healthy and safe so you can keep doing your work. 🙂

Wow absolutely wow. You are an amazing woman for helping out these people who desperately need the help for the sake of their mental, emotional and physical health and well being. Doing it for free is amazing. Can't even begin to imagine how much it would cost them. Your an inspiration with a heart of gold. God bless with everything you deserve. Thank you for the tip of cleaning cat trees. ❤

You are a very nice person for helping people like this. I wish there was someone like you in the states❤

Thank you so much for what you do Auri. This situation was probably moments away from the kids being taken from her. You have given this family a second chance!

I am sure that it was stressing for the kids and the mom, but I want to point out that if the cats were peeing in the beds its a sign that they were under stress too... I'm so glad there is people like Auri willing to help !

Hearing your inner monologuing makes me so happy haha I've never really understood people who don't really deal with depression or anxiety, but you do, and still manage to keep positive. You're such an amazing role model. I strive to one day have your mental fortitude. Edit to add: you are such a saint for buying all new things for all of these houses that you also clean for free. Like you don't get enough recognition for that. Honestly a woman sent from Heaven 😇

This was so hard to watch as my mind was just on the kids. Big kudos to the mother who reached out and so much love for auri for doing this. This is a truly heroic act of service and empathy. We need more of this in the world!

I hope they were getting help beyond cleaning. This family needs social services so it doesn’t happen again. I lived in filth as a child, and it’s horrific. Thank you for helping the !!

What a wonderful thing for you to do for somebody, I love your attitude on everything. In the beginning when you were going through the house and you said "but the amazing thing is I get to help this family and clean their home!" I was nearly in tears. We need more people like you in the world.

This is so lovely of you to do, heart-warming and hopeful. I might not have gotten a former alcoholic a decanter, but that is my two cents. I am so impressed at the change and glad you are so kind! Thank you for being you!!!

my heart goes to these kids and this mom. It’s absolutely tragic that such young kids and animals had to live in these conditions, and I think it speaks VOLUMES that this mother looked for help and cleaned up. that is something my parents couldn’t do. they were too ashamed and too prideful to let others know the life their kids were living, and to this day we’ve been left traumatized because of it. not to mention the immense guilt I personally feel for the pets we had. there is still time for these kids; the shame doesn’t need to last forever. I understand people being mad at the mom, but too quickly do we jump to blame women for situations like this. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain of being physically and mentally destroyed by your husband while trying to care for TWO kids. even as a mother, that can break you. massive props to her for quitting drinking and not letting this go on longer than six months, to be able to do all of that despite her circumstances is absolutely astonishing and I believe she deserves so much credit for it. as a victim of both abusive family, an abusive partner, critical neglect, and maggot filled nightmare homes like this-I can’t describe how proud I am of this woman. I hope that since this she’s been able to get more long term support and healthy coping mechanisms, not just for herself, but her kids and cats too.

I can't believe anyone would be so rude as to tell you how much product to use or any other judgmental comment, because after all, they haven't been doing what you're doing and you always do such a great job!! Ignore the opinionated commenters and know that the majority of us are amazed at your dedication and mad cleaning skills!!

Aww the fact that you brought them new toothbrushes 🥹🫶🏼 you're amazing, Auri! Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷💚

you are such a wonderful person. your selflessness is incredibly inspiring. the world is a much better place because of you.

Hi, I found one of your videos in shorts few days ago and I'm absolutely impressed! You do a great job and with so wonderful positif energy! Thank you so much for sharing!
