Constance Hall has shared her good fortune with her extended family and says she’s proud to do so.
As Australia suffers a housing crisis, the mummy blogger and influencer says she was able to move a cousin’s family into the home she shares with her seven children and partner Denim Cooke in Western Australia.
“Due to the relentless housing crisis, Denz and I were pleasantly surprised that my cousin and her family needed a place to stay,” the 40-year-old wrote on Facebook this week.
Because it was so tight, her partner and cousin got their hands dirty as they hitched an old wagon Constance had into a driveway on the side of her house to create extra space.
“Today, while I was painting the door green, I said to Denz, ‘Do you realize we’re living our dream? “Remember OG’s dream was to build a commune with tree houses and cabins, waterfalls and skate ramps,” he wrote.
‘Sure it’s not acreage, but we’re using my design and your skills to turn this small house into a commune that can house everyone who needs it. And he left his tools and came to give me a high five.
Constance concluded: “Someone once said to me ‘while there is a roof over my head, there is also a roof over yours’, which was very kind and I have never forgotten it.
“I can only hope that our home turns life’s lemons into lemonade for those who need it for the rest of our lives.”
