Forced to illegally occupy a house in order not to leave their children on the street. Sabrina, 26, recently entered a house owned by Area in the Monte Rosello district of Sassari .

"It had been empty for more than a year - explains the woman - and since no one was renting a property to us, we came here". Escaping from the previous accommodation, had without a contract, " a cellar full of mold in the historic center where my one-year-old son fell ill and ended up intubated in the hospital ".

Of the other three children, the oldest is seven years old, the other two, a pair of twins, just three. « My partner does not have a residence permit and we live on basic income and a check for 300 euros for the children . What can you do with so little?"

He has placed the kitchen and appliances in the house and, until yesterday, there was no light. "I called the local police to say we were staying here." With the inevitable report to the prosecutor's office, aren't you afraid of being sent away? « I only go out in handcuffs or in a coffin. I will fight for my children because they must have a roof ».

On the other hand, the search for accommodation was long and fruitless. "We tried for two years. They say no as soon as they know you don't have a permanent contract and you are also a parent of small children ». What do you see in your future? «I hope to improve because we can no longer wait for the State to give us two sous to live on. It is a torment and a humiliation for all of us Italians who live in this situation».
