A single mum living in a tiny micro-apartment is forced to sleep in the same bed as her two young children.
Jamacé Dickerson, who is fighting stage four cancer, shared a video on her social media page showing the small home and how they cope with very little space.
In the little kitchen sits a mini-fridge and a microwave while its small bathroom sits a shower and a sink.
She and her two children sleep together in the king-sized bed.
The mum said on her TikTok account : "A single mum and her two kids living in a micro studio.
"This is the entry and it has a shelf, we put shoes on the shelf.
"Here’s the bathroom, I’ve got just a shower for the kids."
In the bedroom she has maximised space by using two storage cubes to house their clothes as well as somewhere to do her make up.
The large bed sits atop a clever hidden space so her young children have somewhere to play together.
It is not clear which US city the little home is in.
She added on the video: “I put two storage cube units together to create my dresser with the moon and star inserts, and all of our clothes fits in there.
“My kids have their own area underneath the bed, which I call their fort which has all their toys and books.
“The large bed is where we all sleep at night.”
In later videos in answer to some of her thousands of followers she explained how her bed is propped up so it does not fall through into the empty area below.
One of her impressed followers said: “I can tell you right now your kids will never forget how cool of a mum you are, play cave and sleeping in the same bed as you!”
Another added: “If you praise families who live in tiny homes or RVs but negatively view this maybe check your classism.
“You’re going great Mama.”
Another said: “This is where we’re headed in the US due to the cost of living.
“You’ve done a great job with your space.”
One more replied: “This is what living in the ‘greatest country on earth looks like for nearly $1,000 a month.”
Tiny home living has gained a number of new followers in recent years as people choose to pack up their large houses for smaller properties which may be less expensive and more sustainable.
