Sheena Lagimodiere and her family are now receiving safe shelter in a good hotel. It’s a far cry from the night they spent in a budget motel used by Social Services as emergency family shelter.
“There’s bedbugs, there’s cockroaches, the place was disgusting. It smelt like, the minute we opened the door it was a horrendous smell. My daughter didn’t even want to sleep on the bed but we had to stay there for the night,” she explained.
Last week, Phionna Cleland and her daughter were also sent by Social Services to a motel with bedbugs. Both women tell the same story about what happened when they asked Social Services for alternate accommodations.
“It was just take what you get and if you don’t, we can’t help you,” Lagimodiere said.
