I reached out to betterhelp Unfortunately I couldn't afford the sessions at the time. Because I was unable to afford the sessions at my darkest moment it was really hard but their treatment was to cut me off abruptly I emailed them about how they handled things and they never replied This was really bad for my mental health I just hope no one suicidal reaches out to them to be cut off due to their current financial circumstances. They could have worked out a payment plan to begin at a later date and therapy to start at a later date I Will never recommend them or tell anyone to use their services after there behaviour. So much for better help
I could tell Aury was really struggling in this video. Maybe my imagination but I think this one was hard for her physically and emotionally. Hope you are taking care of yourself girl, you did amazing as always
I agree. She rarely feels like it's not worthwhile, but this time she seemed overwhelmed. But someone owns this building and I'm sure they will be glad for her help.
Why was the boy allowed to be in that house?! That was no environment for a boy. No wonder he developed depression! I really hope he gets help and a nice place to live.
@@carolined5929 my dear, I feel so sorry for you. I don't understand how you can say that. I don't know if you have been watching Auri, but the message is: DEPRESSION IS A SERIOUS CONDITION, and so is trauma. It can cause people to freeze and be unable to take action. Please educate yourself!!! Auri is doing such a beautiful service and it's sad you don't get it. Helping people learn about this condition and showing the consequences of inaction to bring about change is WHY she shows what she has GONE THROUGH and WHY SHE OFFERS HER HELP. I hope you find a small space in your heart & mind to show some compassion and grace. ~been there, did that, in recovery!!! Stronger TOGETHER!!! ❤❤❤
For you to comment that a house is "bad", it must be really, really bad. I've never hear you say something like that or use the word pointless in any video you made so far... I appreciate this honesty, often in life things are beyond repair and it's the cycle of life. Some houses are just too broken, too rotten. I like that you bring it with respect, you still have so much empathy and respect for the owners. You always do your best with love and this time it must be too late! What's sad is that because it was so cold you didn't get to full enjoy the cleaning! And the dog.. animal services might want to come and take a look at him.. 😕 Even for that big guy it must be lonely and cold..
I fear you are right; that home may need to be demolished, or at least stripped down to the studs. With that much water damage, there is bound to be damage to the electrical system hidden behind the walls. It requires a complete restart.
Mack makes a good point on his channel-it's often worth washing down the worst of the crud after hoarding or other issues has left a property in very poor condition so that contractors can at least go in in relative safety to assess what work is needed. I doubt many if any would be happy to be on site in the slime and debris. Awesome as always Auri!
Yeah at least there's been enough of a cleanup that someone can come in and assess the damage. With the amount of water damage shown in this and the second video I'm assuming the whole house will be moldy and need to be torn down. But one can hope.
The 17 year old boy needs to be placed in another home. It is cruel and criminal to make him live in these surroundings. It is like a warzone!! If there is no heat,no water and no lights it is unacceptable for human life. BEtter off to live in a tent.
It's likely they haven't been able to seek help for their situation. If they informed local social security workers that their home doesn't have heat, they would provide them another place to live. Homelessnes is taken very seriously here. Your electricity bill, heating bill, waterbill etc will be paid if you can't pay them on your own. The father might not have realized how bad the situation was, he might have been too scared to loose his son or something. The son could also have asked for help, but he could have also been too scared or too depressed to do so.
Hard to imagine, the guy has to start each morning to school from such a place. How to learn for the school, when there's no light? I hope, they can get help and another home.
Exactly... I can't imagine the condition of the boy's mental AND physical health- The parents are absolutely negligent for allowing a kid to live and grow in such horrifying conditions.
My mother's furnace turned itself off because she had blocked the fresh air intake with her hoarding. Instead of getting rid of stuff, she put space heaters around, using extension cords from the few outlets she could get to. It's a miracle she didn't burn down the house.
I was in prison during the beginning of covid in the US, and the prisons were so over full and crowded that they relegated many of us (including all the women, because there were so many more men) to an abandoned old building from the 1960s that had not been in use for more than 30 years. The conditions were similar to the house in this video. No air/heat, leaking water everywhere, barely a functioning light, mold so bad you can’t breathe, walls, ceiling and paint all crumbling, and roach and rodent infestations. I cannot imagine choosing to stay in a home like this when you have your freedom, it was inhumane for any prisoner or animal. Feel very bad for the son especially. I just know it felt like a prison for him to be there.
This would be nothing like being homeless, where people can steal from you at any time, you don’t have shelter, don’t have a safe space or place to call your own. Yeah, it’s bad, but only the very luckiest homeless people with private or family rooms in good shelters have it better.
In Finland, we have a "housing first" -policy for the homeless. Housing for everyone, no strings attached, no pre-requirements for it. Winters would otherwise be full of cadavers on the city streets. So I can't fathom why would someone's situation evolve to be this bad, with no heating in the winter. It makes me sad and angry that our society has let this poor kid down.
Its not pointless to clean these things even though they dont work. Its better for them to sit clean vs. Sitting and being a threshold for germs and bacteria to keep growing! Also it can make it easier on people to do maintenance like maybe now that their house is clean they can have a plumber come over to look at it! Its not pointless auri your work is so meaningful!!
Even if that house has to be demo'd, the fact that you cleaned it is a good thing because it would have to have been emptied out first. I'll bet because there is no heat, the pipes and fixtures froze, burst, and now leak like crazy. Northern winters are no joke and even if the pipes are insulated, the cold will get to them eventually if the residence itself isn't adequately heated. If they're going to try and save the house, the first things they'll need to replace are the faucets, turn on the heat, and then look over the rest of the plumbing and repair any leaks. I hope that house can be saved because demolishing and rebuilding a house are very expensive.
But like she said, if it does need to be rebuilt, (other than completely tearing it down), at least workers will be able to get in to assess the condition of the house and determine what needs to be done, while doing their jobs in a safer environment.
And imagine the relief the father and son will feel. And the hope you will give them. Before, they might not even know where to start. Now, with your help, they have taken the first step.
I am most worried about the child. He has probaby been living in these conditions for years. This is light years beyond messy. The father is not a fit parent and it is sad that no one ever intervened.
Before the dad gets out of the hospital a new residence needs to be found for him and his son so they can start over in a decent place and the house needs to be renovated completely or bulldozed down!
If the dad doesn't get help, he'll destroy a new place very quickly. Speaking from experience, after cleaning my sister's home again and again. She refuses to get help for her hoarding, and just trashes the place as fast as I can clean it.
The condoms on the faucet 😂 A strange, if not creative fix for that problem. Also no lights?? I can’t imagine living in a dirty broken house with no lights. That’s really sad.
Good grief Auri! It looks as if the house/flat is way beyond repair but at least anyone else going in there will have a better experience and will be able to get the job done. You may be cold but you are very warm hearted. See you next time! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@cyanidesungrl You must never had a hoarder in your family or you would realize that people do live in situations like this. Staging this would be impossible - it takes years to get this bad. Families can try to help, but if people don't want help its hard to make them take it (at least where I live)
I'd rather imagine cleaning a shower with no heat than imagine using a bucket of freezing-cold water on naked skin in freezing-cold temperatures and with no indoor lighting. They're doing the Ice Bucket Challenge every time they bathe. I hope they get the support they need after youve finished cleaning the disaster of a house.
Ok, so I thought the cleaning for the elderly lady who died before the cleaning was finished was the worst situation, but this one tops it. The poor people who had to live this way... I think it's a very good thing that you choose to clean anyway, because as Midwest Magic Cleaning says, even if there are repears or it's torne down, the fact that it is clean makes it accessible and safer for the workers who will come. You're a very brave and generous woman Auri and thank you for what you do!
I find it interesting that the child's mother was mentioned and that he's living with her. Did she not know what his living conditions were? Never visited the house or anything? Did the brother know? Once the sister with several mental issues was mentioned, it seems like the whole bloodline inherited something.
Auri, please, please start wearing N95 masks for these cleanings. You’re breathing in mold, mildew, dust, mites, and other things that can make you very sick. Especially one like this - this home is a biohazard.
I'd see it as a good point to clean because any builder or contractor who is coming to try and fix anything can do so without biohazard level mess to navigate. It also makes it safer for them to remove everything if it's being demolished - so I'm sure they will be very grateful for your work!
Auri will not wear PPE, a respirator or N95/100 mask. She refuses even when she enlists help from other free house cleaners and they suit up with PPE. Barbie of channel @CleanWiithBarbie wears a respirator ALL the time when cleaning.
@@barbarakosloski9260 Yup, I'm worried both for Auri and Mack also, although I have seen him using proper mask and hazmat suit occasionally. Barbie is showing good example how to care about one's own health when cleaning places like that.
I look forward to part 2. Auri, I can't even find the words to express my admiration and thanks for all you do. I am also a depressed person with a house out of control. You have always encouraged us that everything can be cleaned. I hope this isn't the time that can't be true. You are truly awesome in kindness and courage.
120 jars.........Brava, Auri.......I could feel the cold just watching you. Thanks for another great video and for helping these people!!! You are an angel!
@@catarsetrophy136 or better yet, give him to someone in better mental health that can give him a better overall life. And the son needs to go somewhere else, too.
I hope someone can help them fix the water line. Auri what you are doing is not pointless, that house might be their everything, so thankful that there is someone like you who is willing to help people who are in the "Dark". I've been watching your videos in facebook but its too short, so happy I found your youtube channel! More power to you! Love from the Philippines ❤❤❤ Can't wait for part 2🙂
Thank you Auri, by the condition of the home, this family has been suffering for a while… it only took a hospitalization for anyone to know what was truly behind these doors. When it comes to children (even if they’re 17), it breaks my heart.. he’s been living like this for a while. Whether or not this house is condemned, you brought this family some hope. As for the puppy, I couldn’t tell if it was a long lead, but he’s a husky. Some thrive in the cold weather. I’ve seen huskies in -20 who refuse to go inside.
I feel for the whole family and the doggie. It seems that the dad may have some mental health issues as well. I hope they will all get the help they need and that things work out for them, especially their living situation. Auri, any work you do is helpful and a blessing even if the home is beyond repair. Thank you for always being kind and open and honest.💜💜
I hope the "shocking" news next week is that the dad went to a mental health facility (or jail), the son moved in with a friendly relative, and the dog got to go with him.
This seems like a house that Mack (@MidwestMagicCleaning) would tackle! If it makes you feel any better about trying to clean up a hopeless case, Mack would tell you to remember that you're making it less awful for the people who might have to come take the place down. You're still be helping more than just the occupants. 💜 Hope you're toasty warm, clean & dry now.
I'll guess 73 pickle jars. Another great job Auri. The home is certainly liveable compared to what it was. Sad, but better than homeless. It of course, must have heat and good working running water. Our home has very few working electrical outlets, and many plumbing problems. We have no heat or AC, but we live in Florida, so it's manageable, just not comfortable. Our roof is a leaky mess. It's hard to find help for free. We have no money for any repairs. Some people just don't know how good they have it just to have the basics that most would expect to have.
Terve! Olet hyvä ihminen kun haluat auttaa ihmisiä uuteen alkuun. On kuitenkin tärkeätä että myös ajattelet omaa terveyttäsi. Pöly voi vuosien mittaan aiheuttaa sinulle todella vaikean keuhkosairauden. Hiirien ja rottien ulostus on hyvin vaarallista. Se voi olla syy sydänlihastulehdukseen. Myös kloorin käytön kanssa pitää olla hyvin varovainen. Se on voimakkaasti syöpää aiheuttavaa. Käytä ihmeessä maskia ja suojavaatteita kun siivoat niin hirveän likaisia koteja. Hyvää juhannusta.
Seeing the home so far, it is in very rough state even though the leaking faucets are an easy fix. I think with expert people it might be saved with professional plumbing, electrical work and lots of renovation, time and money, it could be made into a decent home without a complete demolish. Its a project for the professionals and not a DIY job. Hopefully there is good bones and foundation... maybe we'll see next week if there is any hope for it. Auri's cleaning may reveal the reality! Time will tell us!
Bless you ❤ wow, my heart sunk when I heard there was a teenager living there. To his son: your environment is not a reflection of who you are, it is not indicative of your value as a human. You are doing the best you can, and you can’t fix all of this yourself. It’s not your fault this is happened. There is nothing wrong with you. You deserve the same level of love and respect as anyone else and you have a brighter future ahead of you ❤ I promise you,sweetheart . Brighter days are ahead
For a job like this without heat, layering clothing is helpful, that way you can add or remove clothing as you go and remain comfortable. Also, you may be able to source layers of work clothes from a charity shop. That way if they get too funky you can throw them away afterwards. There are companies that make insulated work clothes such as coveralls that are very durable and can be washed a lot without falling apart. You've done a great job so far with what you found in this house. It seems inhumane and dangerous for humans to live in a house without heat and running water. I am also concerned for the dog, but the welfare of the 17 year old son is of prime concern. Maybe one of your sponsors can pay for a plumber to come into the house and restore and repair the plumbing fixtures and or pay for a safe portable space heater for the owner to at least have in at least one room. God bless you for taking on this job! You have such a good heart.
500 pickle jars I’ll bet! By the time you were done. It’s never pointless for me to watch you clean even a house like this that needs so much repair. It shows how much can be surface dirt versus real damage and makes it easier to see where to start. Blessings to this family!
Ohhh no no no no no this house is bad, I can’t wait to hear the rest of the story and see all the results. I hope you had the nicest warm bath and tea after all that hard work in the cold ❤
Can’t believe people are so rude in your comments, you’re a beautiful loving person who is just trying to help people, keep doing what you’re doing I think you’re AWESOME 🙌🏼 😘🥰💖💖💖💖
So heartbreaking in 2024 people live like this. You are wonderful for helping how you can and also brave of people to make themselves vulnerable and reach out to you Ultimately, this channel is a very positive and hopeful one.
i really dont wanna listen to a 5 minute long commercial when I watch your videos Auri, I'm here for the cleaning and the stories, not commercials! Not to mention Betterhelp has a very sketchy reputation. I do love your videos though and thank you for helping these people, it was clearly desperately needed.
113 pickle jars. You are never doing anything pointless when you clean homes like this. All places can be salvaged in one way or another. I believe this place can be remediated with plenty of work on the plumbing, heating, and electric components. I hope the owner can foot the bill to bring it back to a livable state.
No cleaning is pointless. If that kid has to come back even to get his stuff, it's safer now that you've removed so much grime. And if they have to rebuild, it's safer for the workers to not have all this crud to deal with.
The work you do is commendable ❤ thank you deeply from this heart to alll of yours. Sending healing noughts to Ralph… and hoping the dear son gets guidance into adapting his habits. So much hope and gratitude, love Lou x
En tiedä onko sulla tapana yleensäkin tehdä, mutta erityisesti tästä kodista tuli mieleen että voisi olla aiheellista tehdä huoli-ilmoitus tai lastensuojeluilmoitus... Hurjat asuinolot, toivottavasti he ovat saaneet apua!
You are a brave woman to clean this place! We began a renovation of a house that was in excellent condition but still had major cleaning issues. So I am not sure I could do that. Your videos are very helpful in knowing what to use for cleaning up and doing it correctly!
The thought occurred to me that if the contents of the pickle jars is brine and not urine the brine might be useful in preliminarily breaking down the dirt for the tough cleaning jobs.
So daunting! Thanks for keeping up your motivation, Auri. I probably would give up. Number of pickle jars, ...hmmm... 365! One for every day of the year.
It's certainly not fit for habitation as it is. I think it's very brave of you to tackle it but what is really needed are plumbers and electricians... I look forward to next week and the rest of the story!
I hope someone saved that poor dog. Chained outside in winter, IN FINLAND. Whaaat? As for the rest of the family, I hope they get the help they need. Can't wait till next weeks episode.
I am a 31-year-old girl from Patagonia Argentina, I live in Spain. Maybe my English is not very good. I watch your Spanish channel. Honestly, I love seeing you because I love your attitude. I love how you talk. I love how positive and kind you are. I like cleanliness, but I'm not too interested in it. I have subscribed to your Spanish channel because you radiate such a positive light, you are such a good person, you have a way of thinking and you have such a hopeful point of view on life, that it makes me very good to see you. Listening to you is like going to self-help therapy. You cheer me up a lot emotionally, and it has nothing to do with cleanliness. Thanks for being the way you are. Thank you for sharing your beautiful positivity. You have a beautiful attitude. You are a very valuable and very incredible person. If the majority of people in the world were like you, with that contagious and kind joy that you are, the world would not be the way it is. I love you! Greetings from afar! Spanish: Soy una chica de 31 años de la Patagonia Argentina, vivo en España. Quizás mi inglés no es muy bueno. Yo veo tu canal español. Sinceramente, me encanta verte a ti porque amo tu actitud. Amo como hablas. Amo lo positiva y amable que eres. La limpieza me gusta, pero no me interesa demasiado. Me he suscrito a tu canal español porque tu irradias una luz tan positiva, eres tan buena persona, tienes una manera de pensar y tienes un punto de vista de la vida tan esperanzador, que me hace muy bien verte. Escucharte es como ir a una terapia de autoayuda. Me animas mucho emocionalmente, y nada tiene que ver con la limpieza. Gracias por ser como eres. Gracias por compartir tu hermoso positivismo. Tienes una actitud hermosa. Eres una persona muy valiosa y muy increíble. Si en el mundo la mayoría de la gente fuese como vos, con esa alegría tan contagiosa y amable que eres, el mundo no sería como es. Te quiero! Saludos desde lejos!
It's a husky, they're used to that. We had huskeys and when my father went hunting, they always slept outside on the snow. Their under fur is thick as hell. Although I'm not sure that this dog is properly fed and looked after 😢
Thank you for always reminding us the importance of therapy and giving it time to make a life improvement 🥰 When you're in a bad place mentally, it's easy to forget to take care of yourself and think your feelings doesn't matter. But, as you said, that's not true.
These poor people are living like squatters in their own home 😢 the dog is probably better off outside in the cold than the people are living in that house....and that's a horrible thought. Bless you Auri❤
@@LichterseeShe cleans peoples houses for free. The videos are her income. If watching a few more ads means she can have the income to fly to peoples houses, get supplies, clean their place, and help families, then that’s worth it. Besides, a few ads is not much we have to watch. It’s not sad. She’s getting support to support others!
@@Lichtersee- would you be able to clean the houses she tackles for free, or even if paid to do it? I doubt any of us could. What she does for people in dire circumstances is little short of amazing and without sponsorship how would she cover her costs?
I agree that four commercials and a long sponsorship section is too much. Too many ads really make good videos unwatchable. Imagine you are a new viewer and you don't know who Auri is and what she does. By the second ad, I would have left.

This is the same as being homeless. This house is "not meant for human habitation." Those poor people and their poor dog!
I was in prison during the beginning of covid in the US, and the prisons were so over full and crowded that they relegated many of us (including all the women, because there were so many more men) to an abandoned old building from the 1960s that had not been in use for more than 30 years.

Its not pointless to clean these things even though they dont work. Its better for them to sit clean vs. Sitting and being a threshold for germs and bacteria to keep growing! Also it can make it easier on people to do maintenance like maybe now that their house is clean they can have a plumber come over to look at it! Its not pointless auri your work is so meaningful!!
That is so terribly sad! Nobody can live in a home like that. I pray they find another home that’s habitable for them and their gorgeous dog.
Even if that house has to be demo'd, the fact that you cleaned it is a good thing because it would have to have been emptied out first. I'll bet because there is no heat, the pipes and fixtures froze, burst, and now leak like crazy. Northern winters are no joke and even if the pipes are insulated, the cold will get to them eventually if the residence itself isn't adequately heated.

It’s not pointless. You made it look so much better.
i'm afraid it's unlivable, that's what she meant
But like she said, if it does need to be rebuilt, (other than completely tearing it down), at least workers will be able to get in to assess the condition of the house and determine what needs to be done, while doing their jobs in a safer environment.
I agree. Its not pointless because now a plumber and an electrician can come in and see what needs fixing or at minimum give a quote for the repairs.
And imagine the relief the father and son will feel. And the hope you will give them. Before, they might not even know where to start. Now, with your help, they have taken the first step.
I am most worried about the child. He has probaby been living in these conditions for years. This is light years beyond messy. The father is not a fit parent and it is sad that no one ever intervened.
Before the dad gets out of the hospital a new residence needs to be found for him and his son so they can start over in a decent place and the house needs to be renovated completely or bulldozed down!
Agreed! 👍
If the dad doesn't get help, he'll destroy a new place very quickly. Speaking from experience, after cleaning my sister's home again and again. She refuses to get help for her hoarding, and just trashes the place as fast as I can clean it.
Oh my😮@@juliepeterson95
The condoms on the faucet 😂
A strange, if not creative fix for that problem.
Also no lights?? I can’t imagine living in a dirty broken house with no lights. That’s really sad.
And cold!!
It's abandoned. Cmon
@@mariamaria2751 Y'all are still on that "this is fake" thing? How tiresome.
Good grief Auri! It looks as if the house/flat is way beyond repair but at least anyone else going in there will have a better experience and will be able to get the job done. You may be cold but you are very warm hearted. See you next time! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG Auri, where is social services? These people need outside help.
As a Finn I'm genuinely shocked by this video 😳 We have surely failed as a society if anyone, let alone a underage child, lives in a place like this
@@tuanoiniI’m hoping it’s just clickbait because there’s genuinely no way it’s true
@@cyanidesungrlclick bait? She doesn’t do that
@@tuanoinimy thoughts exactly!
@@cyanidesungrl You must never had a hoarder in your family or you would realize that people do live in situations like this. Staging this would be impossible - it takes years to get this bad. Families can try to help, but if people don't want help its hard to make them take it (at least where I live)
I'd rather imagine cleaning a shower with no heat than imagine using a bucket of freezing-cold water on naked skin in freezing-cold temperatures and with no indoor lighting. They're doing the Ice Bucket Challenge every time they bathe. I hope they get the support they need after youve finished cleaning the disaster of a house.
At this point, I don’t think they’re showering at all.
Ok, so I thought the cleaning for the elderly lady who died before the cleaning was finished was the worst situation, but this one tops it. The poor people who had to live this way... I think it's a very good thing that you choose to clean anyway, because as Midwest Magic Cleaning says, even if there are repears or it's torne down, the fact that it is clean makes it accessible and safer for the workers who will come. You're a very brave and generous woman Auri and thank you for what you do!
You know it's bad when Auri gives up on parts!
I find it interesting that the child's mother was mentioned and that he's living with her. Did she not know what his living conditions were? Never visited the house or anything? Did the brother know? Once the sister with several mental issues was mentioned, it seems like the whole bloodline inherited something.
Auri, please, please start wearing N95 masks for these cleanings. You’re breathing in mold, mildew, dust, mites, and other things that can make you very sick. Especially one like this - this home is a biohazard.
I agree
People tell her this all the time and she takes no notice so you’re wasting your time
Auri Katarina you deserve everything, i dont know how you even managed to do this without warm water, lights and a heating system 😩😩 ❤
I'd see it as a good point to clean because any builder or contractor who is coming to try and fix anything can do so without biohazard level mess to navigate. It also makes it safer for them to remove everything if it's being demolished - so I'm sure they will be very grateful for your work!
A hazmat suit and N95 mask were needed in this house. The amount of mold spores, dust mites, etc., inhaled would have been astronomic. That is vile.
she never wears it
Auri will not wear PPE, a respirator or N95/100 mask. She refuses even when she enlists help from other free house cleaners and they suit up with PPE. Barbie of channel @CleanWiithBarbie wears a respirator ALL the time when cleaning.
Thanks 😅
A bulldozer is needed here. 😬
@@barbarakosloski9260 Yup, I'm worried both for Auri and Mack also, although I have seen him using proper mask and hazmat suit occasionally. Barbie is showing good example how to care about one's own health when cleaning places like that.
Sooo sorry for the young man. I truly hope his situation gets better. You did make a difference ❤❤❤
Please tell me the dog was fed and cared for, and not abandoned there. It should have been taken to an animal shelter or charity. So upsetting.
indeed!!
agreed!
The dog's a huskey,. They are used to cold and it looked well fed.
@@Ruth58969That's not the point. No one's there to take care of the dog to begin with.
@@Ruth58969 it's about the chain!
I look forward to part 2. Auri, I can't even find the words to express my admiration and thanks for all you do. I am also a depressed person with a house out of control. You have always encouraged us that everything can be cleaned. I hope this isn't the time that can't be true. You are truly awesome in kindness and courage.
120 jars.........Brava, Auri.......I could feel the cold just watching you. Thanks for another great video and for helping these people!!! You are an angel!
And that dog needs a better home, too!
YES! Bring the darling in and make a nice feed and bed for it PLEASE! xxx
@@catarsetrophy136 or better yet, give him to someone in better mental health that can give him a better overall life. And the son needs to go somewhere else, too.
💯🥹
@@catarsetrophy136Huskey Dogs enjoy the outdoors and thrive better in colder environments. Don't worry too much about him.
@@scipunkdollstudios4081 not on a chain! never put the dogs on chains
I hope someone can help them fix the water line. Auri what you are doing is not pointless, that house might be their everything, so thankful that there is someone like you who is willing to help people who are in the "Dark". I've been watching your videos in facebook but its too short, so happy I found your youtube channel! More power to you! Love from the Philippines ❤❤❤
Can't wait for part 2🙂
Thank you Auri, by the condition of the home, this family has been suffering for a while… it only took a hospitalization for anyone to know what was truly behind these doors. When it comes to children (even if they’re 17), it breaks my heart.. he’s been living like this for a while. Whether or not this house is condemned, you brought this family some hope.
As for the puppy, I couldn’t tell if it was a long lead, but he’s a husky. Some thrive in the cold weather. I’ve seen huskies in -20 who refuse to go inside.
I feel for the whole family and the doggie. It seems that the dad may have some mental health issues as well. I hope they will all get the help they need and that things work out for them, especially their living situation. Auri, any work you do is helpful and a blessing even if the home is beyond repair. Thank you for always being kind and open and honest.💜💜
I hope the "shocking" news next week is that the dad went to a mental health facility (or jail), the son moved in with a friendly relative, and the dog got to go with him.
We can only pray. 🙏
This seems like a house that Mack (@MidwestMagicCleaning) would tackle! If it makes you feel any better about trying to clean up a hopeless case, Mack would tell you to remember that you're making it less awful for the people who might have to come take the place down. You're still be helping more than just the occupants. 💜 Hope you're toasty warm, clean & dry now.
Snowpants are amazing when it's cold, they work better then long winter jackets.
I feel really sad for them. Especially the son. They way you kept emphasing how cold it was, imagine having to live like that all the time.
I'll guess 73 pickle jars. Another great job Auri. The home is certainly liveable compared to what it was. Sad, but better than homeless. It of course, must have heat and good working running water. Our home has very few working electrical outlets, and many plumbing problems. We have no heat or AC, but we live in Florida, so it's manageable, just not comfortable. Our roof is a leaky mess. It's hard to find help for free. We have no money for any repairs. Some people just don't know how good they have it just to have the basics that most would expect to have.
Terve!
Olet hyvä ihminen kun haluat auttaa ihmisiä uuteen alkuun. On kuitenkin tärkeätä että myös ajattelet omaa terveyttäsi. Pöly voi vuosien mittaan aiheuttaa sinulle todella
vaikean keuhkosairauden. Hiirien ja rottien ulostus on hyvin vaarallista. Se voi olla syy
sydänlihastulehdukseen.
Myös kloorin käytön kanssa pitää
olla hyvin varovainen. Se on voimakkaasti syöpää aiheuttavaa.
Käytä ihmeessä maskia ja suojavaatteita kun siivoat niin
hirveän likaisia koteja.
Hyvää juhannusta.
Seeing the home so far, it is in very rough state even though the leaking faucets are an easy fix. I think with expert people it might be saved with professional plumbing, electrical work and lots of renovation, time and money, it could be made into a decent home without a complete demolish. Its a project for the professionals and not a DIY job. Hopefully there is good bones and foundation... maybe we'll see next week if there is any hope for it. Auri's cleaning may reveal the reality! Time will tell us!
Such a grand beautiful dog, he deserves a better life.
Where is the dog? I didn't see it
That was amazing. I hope the boy gets help and gets better living conditions, no child should live like that.
Bless you ❤ wow, my heart sunk when I heard there was a teenager living there. To his son: your environment is not a reflection of who you are, it is not indicative of your value as a human. You are doing the best you can, and you can’t fix all of this yourself. It’s not your fault this is happened. There is nothing wrong with you. You deserve the same level of love and respect as anyone else and you have a brighter future ahead of you ❤ I promise you,sweetheart . Brighter days are ahead
For a job like this without heat, layering clothing is helpful, that way you can add or remove clothing as you go and remain comfortable. Also, you may be able to source layers of work clothes from a charity shop. That way if they get too funky you can throw them away afterwards. There are companies that make insulated work clothes such as coveralls that are very durable and can be washed a lot without falling apart. You've done a great job so far with what you found in this house. It seems inhumane and dangerous for humans to live in a house without heat and running water. I am also concerned for the dog, but the welfare of the 17 year old son is of prime concern. Maybe one of your sponsors can pay for a plumber to come into the house and restore and repair the plumbing fixtures and or pay for a safe portable space heater for the owner to at least have in at least one room. God bless you for taking on this job! You have such a good heart.
This was so sad to see, I can't imagine how they can take a bath with such a cold water, and be in the darkness 😢
167 Pickle bottles. Bless you for your dedication to helping these families.
I love the way you cherish it. You never showed disgust ❤
500 pickle jars I’ll bet! By the time you were done. It’s never pointless for me to watch you clean even a house like this that needs so much repair. It shows how much can be surface dirt versus real damage and makes it easier to see where to start. Blessings to this family!
@Aurikatariina you have such a beautiful energy❤ God Bless you
It's just my birthday and the first thing I watch on my birthday are your cleaning videos. I love watching it! proud of the work you do ❤
Happy Birthday! 🎁🥳🎉
Ohhh no no no no no this house is bad, I can’t wait to hear the rest of the story and see all the results. I hope you had the nicest warm bath and tea after all that hard work in the cold ❤
You did good work. The house may not be good for living but it will bow be clean enough for construction renovation.
Wow, you're doing great on this place! And I think it WILL make a difference. It will be easier to have a plumber come in.
Can’t believe people are so rude in your comments, you’re a beautiful loving person who is just trying to help people, keep doing what you’re doing I think you’re AWESOME 🙌🏼 😘🥰💖💖💖💖
I really hope the boy gets a fresh start and a clean home. Nobody deserves to live in these conditions, especially a young child. ❤
Wow! Ralph is so lucky to have you helping him, and his son. I hope they find a better place to live. ❤
So heartbreaking in 2024 people live like this.
You are wonderful for helping how you can and also brave of people to make themselves vulnerable and reach out to you
Ultimately, this channel is a very positive and hopeful one.
It must be so cold! Well done for getting through all that mess. We Are All very proud of you 🎉
i really dont wanna listen to a 5 minute long commercial when I watch your videos Auri, I'm here for the cleaning and the stories, not commercials! Not to mention Betterhelp has a very sketchy reputation. I do love your videos though and thank you for helping these people, it was clearly desperately needed.
I don´t think the cleaning was pointless. Even if the house gets torn down, the people who will do it will be grateful not to work in that grime.
113 pickle jars. You are never doing anything pointless when you clean homes like this. All places can be salvaged in one way or another. I believe this place can be remediated with plenty of work on the plumbing, heating, and electric components. I hope the owner can foot the bill to bring it back to a livable state.
I know I couldn't do it cold and in the dark. You're a real trooper Auri. Where is the boy's mother?
No cleaning is pointless. If that kid has to come back even to get his stuff, it's safer now that you've removed so much grime. And if they have to rebuild, it's safer for the workers to not have all this crud to deal with.
You are a 🌟 to clean in that condemned house ❤❤❤
The work you do is commendable ❤ thank you deeply from this heart to alll of yours. Sending healing noughts to Ralph… and hoping the dear son gets guidance into adapting his habits. So much hope and gratitude, love Lou x
Auri, you truly are an Angel. That home was scary-dirty. 😮😢
En tiedä onko sulla tapana yleensäkin tehdä, mutta erityisesti tästä kodista tuli mieleen että voisi olla aiheellista tehdä huoli-ilmoitus tai lastensuojeluilmoitus... Hurjat asuinolot, toivottavasti he ovat saaneet apua!
The doggie at least looks fed 😢 so sad for all of them
Water left dripping so the pipes won't freeze due to lack of heat and power?
That was my thought. At least with the dripping the pipes won't freeze.
Isn't there a way to get utilities back on? The man's age would make him eligible for help.
Blessings to you Auri.❤❤❤❤
57 pickle jars. Oh my. God bless you for all your hard work.
Thank you so much for helping 👍
You are a brave woman to clean this place! We began a renovation of a house that was in excellent condition but still had major cleaning issues. So I am not sure I could do that.
Your videos are very helpful in knowing what to use for cleaning up and doing it correctly!
Just really sad. To live like that because you are not able to do better. I hope they get the help they deserve.
Y'all don't know how much i love this woman 🩷❤🩷❤🩷
This video is definitely a sign to me to clean all pickles jars.
Favorite cabbage 🥬 pickle, beet pickles, pickles sweet onions, and cucumbers 🥒 pickles! 😻 best healthy and delicious.
Yep…
The thought occurred to me that if the contents of the pickle jars is brine and not urine the brine might be useful in preliminarily breaking down the dirt for the tough cleaning jobs.
@@catladynikki2024 I love small pickled white onions.
So daunting! Thanks for keeping up your motivation, Auri. I probably would give up. Number of pickle jars, ...hmmm... 365! One for every day of the year.
Oh how sad Auri! ❤
Looks like 200 pickle jars at least, they really loved some pickles!
Yes! Very delicious! 😻
My ancestors sold pickles and this is probably more jars than they had at one time.
He really did get himself into a pickle 🤣😂🥰🇬🇧🥰
❤ Auri you are the best. Also: any tip on cleaning schedul or trash disposal always appreciated
It's certainly not fit for habitation as it is. I think it's very brave of you to tackle it but what is really needed are plumbers and electricians... I look forward to next week and the rest of the story!
That was definitely the worst house you've done, Auri😫 no heat, no lights, cold water everywhere 😫😫😫 thank you for sharing your work with us
I hope someone saved that poor dog. Chained outside in winter, IN FINLAND. Whaaat? As for the rest of the family, I hope they get the help they need. Can't wait till next weeks episode.
Huskies ENJOY the cold and being outside so the dog isn't suffering outside.
I am a 31-year-old girl from Patagonia Argentina, I live in Spain. Maybe my English is not very good. I watch your Spanish channel. Honestly, I love seeing you because I love your attitude. I love how you talk. I love how positive and kind you are. I like cleanliness, but I'm not too interested in it. I have subscribed to your Spanish channel because you radiate such a positive light, you are such a good person, you have a way of thinking and you have such a hopeful point of view on life, that it makes me very good to see you. Listening to you is like going to self-help therapy. You cheer me up a lot emotionally, and it has nothing to do with cleanliness. Thanks for being the way you are. Thank you for sharing your beautiful positivity. You have a beautiful attitude. You are a very valuable and very incredible person. If the majority of people in the world were like you, with that contagious and kind joy that you are, the world would not be the way it is. I love you! Greetings from afar!

Soy una chica de 31 años de la Patagonia Argentina, vivo en España. Quizás mi inglés no es muy bueno. Yo veo tu canal español. Sinceramente, me encanta verte a ti porque amo tu actitud. Amo como hablas. Amo lo positiva y amable que eres. La limpieza me gusta, pero no me interesa demasiado. Me he suscrito a tu canal español porque tu irradias una luz tan positiva, eres tan buena persona, tienes una manera de pensar y tienes un punto de vista de la vida tan esperanzador, que me hace muy bien verte. Escucharte es como ir a una terapia de autoayuda. Me animas mucho emocionalmente, y nada tiene que ver con la limpieza. Gracias por ser como eres. Gracias por compartir tu hermoso positivismo. Tienes una actitud hermosa. Eres una persona muy valiosa y muy increíble. Si en el mundo la mayoría de la gente fuese como vos, con esa alegría tan contagiosa y amable que eres, el mundo no sería como es. Te quiero! Saludos desde lejos!
78 pickle jars. And Auri you are priceless.❤
Auri, please, please, please, give us longer videos! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️
Due to the complaints about the free service, there will be no more free service.
I'm sorry but you need to report that cruel situation with a dog on a short chain in the snow.
It's a husky, they're used to that. We had huskeys and when my father went hunting, they always slept outside on the snow. Their under fur is thick as hell. Although I'm not sure that this dog is properly fed and looked after 😢
why arent you more worried about 17 year old boy living like this?
@@katarinaa25cause the boy isn’t chained up
We leave horses outside... hes fine.
@@katarinaa25 Can't we worry about both?
Thank you for always reminding us the importance of therapy and giving it time to make a life improvement 🥰 When you're in a bad place mentally, it's easy to forget to take care of yourself and think your feelings doesn't matter. But, as you said, that's not true.
Limpeza incrível, esperando ansiosa pela parte 2 😊
Congratulations on getting to 4 million subscribers Auri 🙂💛👏
Auri is the sweetest!❤
I feel like Auri and Marie Kondo would make one hell of a dream team. Messes look out!
Why don’t you upload the entire house cleaning? Love you Auri ❤
These poor people are living like squatters in their own home 😢 the dog is probably better off outside in the cold than the people are living in that house....and that's a horrible thought. Bless you Auri❤
It was hard to pay attention between the 4 commercials and better help. I need longer episodes!! 😄
She’s all about the money nowadays… so sad
@@LichterseeShe cleans peoples houses for free. The videos are her income. If watching a few more ads means she can have the income to fly to peoples houses, get supplies, clean their place, and help families, then that’s worth it. Besides, a few ads is not much we have to watch. It’s not sad. She’s getting support to support others!
@@Lichtersee- would you be able to clean the houses she tackles for free, or even if paid to do it? I doubt any of us could. What she does for people in dire circumstances is little short of amazing and without sponsorship how would she cover her costs?
I agree that four commercials and a long sponsorship section is too much. Too many ads really make good videos unwatchable.
Imagine you are a new viewer and you don't know who Auri is and what she does. By the second ad, I would have left.
Auri, cleaning IS your therapy! And the results of a clean house is therapy for your clients.
