Advice for a Hungarian friend

3 years ago
Expat community, please help!

Living in Czech Republic for three years I understand what the expat community can do.

I am in need of information and advice for a very special person. Rose worked and lived with me for nearly 2 years in Edinburgh in 2013/4. She moved home and had a wonderful child with a boy she didn't really know. Now she is in an abusive (emotional and physical) relationship. They have to live together because she has to look after her kid and can't work much.

Rose has looked into getting help leaving but isn't getting much advise. What I would like to know is if there are any programs the government supply, like help with housing. I know Hungary is different from Scotland but a council flat and benefits are available here and I'm hoping there are similarities in Hungary. Especially when it's a vulnerable single mum.

I'm a civil servant and know customers sometimes need to push for answers and I am pushing Rose to demand answers to questions she has. At this point she is exhausted.

She lives in a small town near Eger which has no advise centre. Whatever information you can give me would be so helpful. I want her to get out of her house away from this guy, her daughter is now being emotionally affected.

Thank you for reading this,
David
