Auri, the pictures six months after you cleaned are so heartwarming! Cecilia clearly got back on the right footing after you helped her. Good for her! And bless you dear girl for showing the world that cleaning is important work.

Her apartment is so tiny the one room is a kitchen a bedroom and a dining room and a living room then the bathroom is a laundry too. This is a ridiculously difficult place to live , it would not be good for her really. Anyone would be challenged to keep it tidy.

People often mockingly refer to "difficult childhoods" but parents truly can fundamentally break a child in a way where they suffer for years or decades after. I guess we develop strategies to survive the helpless childhood such as avoidance and disassociation but in adulthood those do not serve us at all. Thank you to anyone like Auri who helps people heal and finally live a decent life they deserve. ❤️

I feel this, I’ve lived where I am now for just over 3 years and in the last year it’s become out of control for me. I’m a single mum, expecting my second child and only a month ago I finally asked for help. I was ashamed, I was convinced they’d take away my child but actually, they aren’t. They’re coming to help me clean and tidy my home and they have gotten me a volunteer to come and help each week. I’ve never felt more happy for asking for help and no longer ignoring it. Please don’t ever feel ashamed in asking for help ♥️

I know that wasn't an easy thing to do. I hope you know and feel the strength and determination it took for you to say, "enough!" .. You changed your present life, your future and your children's entire lives. And, now you are even out in the community volunteering... look at the giant steps you are taking to claim your life.

Dear Cecilia, even though you will probably not read this: I am incredibly happy that you contacted Auri and didn't end your life. You are such a strong and brave person! I can't even imagine your situation - from early childhood on you had a difficult start in life, your parents, who should have been protective and understand your feelings treated you so badly... Still, you never stopped fighting for your life with all its difficulties and burdens. I am so proud at you for standing up for yourself, sharing your story AND keeping your place clean! You are such a brave, wonderful, strong person! Thank you so much for sharing your story! Feel hugged! Best wishes from Germany. ❤

Sometimes this is the only thing people need: Someone to trust in them and reach out, help them out of the situation they are in. Not to mention, making this incredible experience with people coming to help you in a terrible situation can rebuild some of the trust lost in childhood and make reaching out in the future easier. Cecilia might still not be in the best place, but she experienced that help is possible and can do so much, so I'm sure she has reached out more.

It’s such a beautiful thing to help someone in this cycle of shame, dissociation and mess. Even if they don’t perfectly keep it up and eventually need help again, the work was still valuable and it still sends a message that the person is worth loving and their life is worth fighting for.

Wow. Shocked about how much trash accumulated in just 1.5 years. Thank you Cecilia for helping people understand how mental illness can effect your behavior so severely. Congrats on keeping your place clean 🎉

This was soooo nice! I loved that she was involved in the video and did an interview, I like that she shared her after photos and kept up with keeping her apartment clean! You truly are giving people new leases on life - you are doing very important work!

The biggest impact for me was the long term impact for Cecilia. Those photos of her lovely home 6 months later are amazing. Well done and good luck Cecilia. Thank you Aurikatariina you are a marvel.

The commentary on Cecilia's dissociation hit harder than I expected. I always have the most difficulty operating daily life when my brain is dissociating regularly. I unfortunately understand coming out of a dissociative episode and barely recognizing where I am and what happened while I was basically gone. It's heartwarming to see Cecilia get a fresh start! It was really meaningful to see the 6 months later pictures where her home looks properly lived in and clearly used to its full potential every day.

"All your energy goes into surviving another day" That hit me. It's so true.

I know for privacy and mental health reasons, Cecilia didn’t want to show her face or voice (which I 100% understand), I just think it was cool we got to see her from the back even with Auri right there interviewing her. I know Auri is talking to people each time she does a cleaning so it’s neat to see one of these interactions.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this video❤

It was courageous and selfless of Cecilia to do the interview and ask for help.

It was so lovely to see the update after half year, her apartment looks so lovely and comfy now! Wishing all the best for Cecilia 🥰

It’s so easy for people to be hateful and judgemental to people suffering. No one can truly overstand how the depts of depression and living with trauma can effect one’s life. Unless you have experience it firsthand. Thank you for all your loving help and kindness you give to those in desperate need. Blessings from London, U.K.💜

I personally do not like when people say “you are grown, you should be over it”. I am 36 and still suffer from seizures because of what my mother did to me. The physical and emotional trauma took a toll on me. It took years for me to forgive and move forward with my life. I feel that when people are ready they will rise up. Being ridiculed and made fun of all the time doesn’t help. Especially when you have it in your head that nobody understands are you cannot find a platform where people will understand. Learn to be gentle with people even if you do not understand their walk of life. Be thankful that you are able body and mentally stable to function in day to day life. Auri thank you so much for all that you do. I really would like to help you when you come to the US but it’s a 10 hour drive for me. I love cleaning and helping people as well.❤

OH MY WORD ❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 THE SIX MONTHS LATER PHOTOS 🥺🥺🥺🥺 SHE'S DONE SO GOOD!!!!!!! GREAT JOB CECELIA!!!!!!!! UGH MY HEART 😭

It's great to hear she's keeping up on cleaning her apartment. I often wonder if the homes stay like that.

Those lights made me laugh. Cecilia is truly enjoying her life at last, I'm so happy for her. Thank you Auri and everyone involved. ❤

Great to see the progress after a couple of month from the customer! It shows it is good to get some help sometimes.

So good to see she is keeping the house nice and tidy. Your help came just in time to boost her confidence ❤😊

Cecelia is so brave!

How relieving it was to see that she kept her home clean after 6 months ! , that shows how she really didn’t want things to get worse but she had nothing to do about it

I think the most baffling transformation happened in Cecilia that she kept it clean for the whole 6 months after you cleaned for her! These things are life- changing! I really enjoyed watching this video, I love to clean messes like this! I got a good job from cleaning hotels, to a housekeeper/ party planner in a embassy, and I had to learn new, but pretty basic computer skills and clean only twice a week. So I got promoted to a “better” job, but I MISS cleaning!!! For example, I had to watch the cleaning company do the job instead of doing it my self, and I was so disappointed of the outcome , not everyone has the same high standards!!!! So, seriously, I’ve been thinking of starting my own company bc if you do a business, do it out of something you are good at! All the best to you, you have wonderfully made it in the cleaning industry 👏👏👏👏 P.s. Minäkin olen Suomesta 🇫🇮

Как прекрасно, что спустя 6 месяцев у Сесилии всё хорошо. Если от других героев будут фото после, всегда вставляйте их в ваши видео

You are such a wonderful person. My mother suffers depression because of a health problem for years now. When I was living with my parent as a teen I couldn't understand why our home was such a mess all the time, I didn't know what depression was. It was later that I understand why and I start cleaning the whole house each time my parents went on holidays. It took me days each time but it was worth it. So thank you for all you are doing to help all those people. ❤

Dear Cecelia, how wonderful you are able to keep your home clean! I have PTSD, depression, anxiety, and had an abusive childhood; constantly ridiculed, called names, and was scared to death of my dad. I’ve struggled with motivating myself to take care of my home, too. I have gotten better, but there are days I realize I’m not going to be able to do much, if anything - so I look at it as a “reset day” and that’s that. The days I feel better, I run with that and get as much done as possible. In other words, I try not to look at it as either bad or good - just that it is what the day is presenting me with. The best of luck to you!!! I love the lights and extra touches you did to make it look so pretty! Thank you, Auri. Much love to you as well! ❤🎉❤

This really made me cry. It must have been so horrible to live under this condition, not being able to change it. So proud she asked for help and maintained the Apartment in a good condition. I hope she finds someone to help her work on the troubles of her past. All the best for this lady. And thanks Auri, you are a life saving angel!

I was watching your face when you talked with Cecelia. You truly do understand depression and how it affects every aspect of life. Sometimes when I am depressed I feel as if I weigh a thousand pounds. It is difficult to get out of bed. Cooking cleaning and showering are almost impossible. I was molested as a child by a family member and I have been thru therapy but there are some days when I just feel so tired. My son lives with me and he motivates me to get up and do things. Your videos always make me feel as if there is hope. Thank you for posting these and for working with your clients.

You are literally a lifesaver😭 our home is so trashed and I can barely keep up with it because my mom, my sister and dad aren’t able to do it.

So glad to see the photos six months later. It looks like Cecillia is moving towards a healthier life and taking care of what is important, her well being. It really did warm my heart knowing that she can now enjoy her surroundings and not be embarrassed about her home and herself. Well done, Aurikatariina and Cecillia!!

Thank you Cecelia for reaching out because you have helped someone, somewhere to take that first step too. Thank you Auri for your hard work and compass in helping one person at a time❤

Therapy, therapy, therapy. Well done Cecelia for getting help. You are worth getting some more help in therapy. Keep going Cecilia! You’re on the right track looking for help outside your circle. Keep at it, one day at a time.

So happy Cecelia is now in her new life!! So happy for her!! ❤

I personally clean everyday. It relaxes me. However… when I’m anxious, I don’t eat either… I drink coffee too. It’s hard to realize and understand what’s going on in people’s heads and what goes on behind closed doors. I’m grateful for you Ari for allowing people to just “breath” again. You’re an angel.

Coffee is used for self medicating. I tend to be OCD and can get stuck cleaning, when I actually don’t want to. I could feel sick and need to lie down, but will keep going. I do like cleaning and organising though. It’s just, I live at home with my parents and brother and they will mess up whatever I have done within hours, so I only do it every few weeks. I’d be killed out doing it everyday otherwise.

God bless Auri, taking the time to sit down to talk (and listen!) with the residents before you go on your way. That could mean so much to people who have isolated for a long period of time.

The first 5 to 10 years truly shape someone’s brain wiring and impacts their whole life 😢❤ thank you for doing this!

Thank you for this video and to cecilia for agreeing to be filmed. It really humanizes the people who own the appartments and really reminded me that you never know what someone is going through.

I don’t know Cecelia, but I already love her. Bless you and all that you do!!

Proud of you for asking for help Cecilia! It looks great and I hope you made some yummy food in that kitchen since then!

Aurikatariina isn't just cleaning houses, she's also changing lives.

This cleaning was overwhelming! I’m so glad you were able to help her!

From a person with major depression disease, your client is absolutely right....Depression is not a CHOICE. ❤

Super happy for this woman, i just turn her age and i did find good therapist and just can say, find yours girl, mine helping me with my childhood trauma from my mother alot, just find the right one, who can talk with you ♥

I fully respect your actions and kindness to the people who need help and support. I'm sure you've helped them emotionally, physically, and financially. I really hope our society keeps allowing those who need help can speak up for real help.

These apartments are so tiny, it's no wonder her depression became worse, especially when you live on your own with little to no support. Im so glad she found you Auri. I think I know what her second choice was going to be and how grateful she is. I really hope she can keep her home tidy for her mental health and physical health cos it would have been a health hazard to live there too. Changing lives again Auri.

I actually kinda like Cecilia even tho I don’t know her, but her answers and being able to talk about the disease makes her amazing in my eyes

Everyone deserves to have a home that is clean, tidy and safe. Good for you Cecilia for reaching out and asking for help. ❤️ Thank you for the work you do Aurii. ❤️

Love that we got to see photos of 6 months later! That’s amazing. Please post more photos from people who have kept their home clean!

This one is amazing!!! Well done auri and Cecilia!!! ❤

I think that asking for help is what really turned Cecilia's life around. And that she took the step to move past the trauma in her life and that she wasn't forced into it by an outside source, no matter how much someone else might think it's best for her. I have suffered all my life from childhood trauma and never realised how much I suffered from low grade depression until a close friend of mine pointed out to me that sometimes I disassociate and appear not to be there with her (she told me in a loving way). Once I realised that I was able to become aware of what I was doing and knowledge is power and now I can see when I drift off and can think through why that is happening and what is triggering it (I've had years of counselling that has saved my life in many ways.).

Amazeballs Auri. It was particularly poignant to hear you reading the transcript of you and Cecilia’s interview. Obviously your before and after photos are always great to see, but in this story seeing Cecilia’s own pics really made my heart smile. Way to go Cecilia! Pat yourself on the back, thank you for sharing your healing journey with us all, that takes incredible courage. Onwards and upwards. Much love from Yorkshire, England. Fi xxx

I'm OBSESSED with your work! I cannot WAIT unitl that plush doll comes out. I will be the 1st one to buy it! Keep up the good work!

I'm so happy you were able to help Cecilia. Clearly she felt she had come to the end of the road, but thankfully you've given her a new beginning. The apartment looked amazing when you had finished it and it still looks amazing now. Clearly Cecilia is enjoying life again.

Aw, it's heartbreaking to think that anyone could consider the 'other' option as being the only option left. I would hope and pray that we could all reach out in times of need, and in doing so would be met with open arms and not judged, even from those who do not know us. Bless you Auri. My mum used to say "a little help is worth a lot of pity" meaning... It is better to help people who are in trouble than to say how sorry you are for them. After your help, Cecilia is now back on track and has pride in herself and her home, and that is heartwarming.

Dedicar um dia da semana para fazer um trabalho como você faz Auri, sem nada cobrar é muito consolador e graticante para as pessoas, como a Cecília, que tanto precisam de alguém que olhe por elas. Parabéns a você Auri e a Cecília! ❤

I am so pleased Cecilia was able to keep her home clean after you had helped her by clearing and cleaning it for her. I hope that continues because I know how easy it can be to be overwhelmed by depression and other mental health issues, and she needs to stay on top of it - but it looks great with the lights around the TV and the other little improvements she has made so the future must be bright for her after the help you gave her with this cleaning.

I'm so glad she reached out to you. That was so brave. And the apartment looks great 6 months on.

One can always see that it's the soul, which longs for a sense of genuine connection and meaning, which does the mess, not the eyes and hands.

We love you Auri♥️♥️♥️

That is a nice idea with the interview! And its nice, that she showed You, that she can keep it clean!

Oh my! What an incredible transformation, as always❤ And seeing the pictures from later was so good! Such a great feeling, and it must be so nice for you as well to see a home kept in a good condition❤

Hi form malaysia.. you inspired me to fight with my depression.. love to watch you videos

Well done to Cecilia, for asking help and sharing her experiences, and for keeping her flat clean. I hope in the near future she can move into a bigger flat, with a separate bedroom. To have to sleep next to the kitchen and only have one room to live in, for a middle-aged woman in a rich country like Finland... It's fine as emergency housing but not really sustainable as she ages, in my opinion. Great job, Auri and Cecilia!

Audi, at first I was going to call you a cleaning angel because you do it so well. But I think that isn’t quite right. I think it better to just call you a living angel for helping these people who need help, and helping others as you share insights of difficulties people have…even ourselves. Thank you for being a living angel and being an example of goodness and light! Sending warm aloha to you!

I feel her so bad. The mentaly tauma your parents can give you. Even though my mother tryd her best, but i just realize now in therapy how much my father and stepfather and my family in general have afected me and my life xx. I'm now working hard on becoming a stronger person, who, instead of searching for the one at fault(me or my parents) i search for solutions. It's super hard, but after a year now, i see slowly changes which motivates me so much.

Beautiful! Thank you! We all love you! I who’ve to clean as well, but now as I approach 70, it takes me longer to clean. But, we have no clutter anywhere so it’s easy to clean our home.
