An 86-year-old woman whose house was destroyed in an explosion in Western Sydney has been re-housed in a women and children's shelter, which her daughter says has left her feeling isolated.
When an explosion ripped through a row of social housing townhouses at Whalan in Western Sydney , 86-year-old Ninette Dawson lost her home of 17 years.
Thirty-year-old Mhey Yumol Jasmin's body was recovered from underneath the rubble of the homes a day and a half later after the June 1 that Shareen said the restrictions on visitors has made the past four weeks extremely isolating for her mother. Shareen has also been pushing for Homes NSW to commit to helping furnish the new homes of her mother and other Whalan residents.
Homes NSW is now organising an occupational therapist to advise on modifications needed for a nearby unit it has offered Ninette, about a five-minute drive from her old home."The future use of the site is still to be determined," Homes NSW said in a statement.Ninette also wants to salvage some treasured personal possessions from the rubble of her home.
