A sofa bed for Lee so he does not have to sleep on the floor

Posted Nov 22, 2024
Lee and his siblings were taken in by their grandparents, who initially thought it would be just for a few weeks. The children have endured a lot of trauma, and they find comfort in being with their grandmother, who provides them with love and support. However, their living situation is challenging. Lee and his brother are sleeping on a broken sofa and a small mat on the living room floor while their baby sister occupies the only other bedroom in the house. Their grandparents' home has limited space, and the arrangement has become difficult. A sleeper sofa would greatly improve Lee and his brother's situation, allowing them to have a proper bed and a more restful night’s sleep. Lee's grandfather, in his 60s, works hard to provide for the family and make ends meet. He has been searching for a discarded sleeper sofa but has unfortunately had no luck so far. Despite the challenges, the family's bond remains strong as they navigate this difficult period together.

Lee is 15 years old and lives in WA

Lee is a genuinely sweet person who has faced significant challenges over the past year. The trauma he has endured has had a profound impact on his health, primarily due to the constant stress he experiences. Unfortunately, the effects of his trauma have manifested in health issues such as seizures and self-harm behaviors. Despite these difficulties, Lee values the time he spends with his siblings, enjoying activities like watching TV and playing games together. Nonetheless, Lee remains a kind-hearted young man who has navigated far too much adversity. He and his siblings are happy to be living with their grandparents.
