A mother desperate for help reached out to News 5 after feeling hopeless due to a leak in her apartment, leaving her concerned for her and her family’s safety.

When we arrived at Toria Ferguson’s apartment early Wednesday morning, we met an emotional mother of three young boys who told News 5 she felt hopeless due to her living conditions.

“I can't cook in there,” said Ferguson. “I can't walk in there. We can barely lay in our beds because of the bugs and flies, like I'm watching flies fly around your head right now," she said to reporter Remi Murrey. The property manager claims Ferguson denied workers entrance to do an inspection they say was needed before work could begin on the unit.Ferguson admitted to their claim, saying she feared their work would involve loud noises, which she says would harm her five-year-old-son who has a rare genetic disorder.

“They've did this process before, so I thought the inspection was something totally different from like the cameras and everything,” said Ferguson.
