We continue talking to Sandra Pankhurst but now we move into her current work as a trauma cleaner.
What is that?
Its the work no one wants to do, 3 week old decaying body- call the trauma cleaner, double suicide- call the trauma cleaner, meth lab explosion- call the trauma cleaner, 45 years worth of hoarding you call Sandra.
Sandra works within the worst conditions but brings the most dignity to her clients. She takes us through some of her toughest jobs and shares what its like doing the job no one else knew existed and how to do it with heart.
