My name is Christine Walsh, and I am a TV talk show booking producer. Right now, I am working on an episode regarding hoarding. It is an addiction that is rarely discussed, and I would love to bring attention to it.

I am writing you to see if you would be interested in being part of the show. We would love to find someone who is currently suffering, and provide them with the help they need to get better. Your involvement would include a free, all expenses paid trip to NYC (transportation, hotel, food, etc) as well as therapy sessions or a treatment program. We would cover the cost for everything.

If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, I strongly encourage you to submit. I would love to hear your story, and tell you a few more details about the show. When submitting please include a brief bio of your situation, as well as the best number to reach you at. I have also included my phone number. Please feel free to contact me directly by phone if you prefer.

I look forward to the possibility of having you on the show, providing you help, and bringing more attention to this type of addiction.

Sincerely,

Christine Walsh

Hello, my name is Layla Marin, Im 15 years old and looking for help. I live at home with my mother and 2 siblings, also 5 dogs. I had recently lost my father and he was a hoarder!! Our back yard is horrible. My mom doesnt like to go back there and neither do I. I was planning on trying to clean it up and making an art studio in the garage. But that plan went down the drain when I found out that we are going to move houses. Anyway, There is so much stuff in the garage that you can barely walk in. also the back patio is full of stuff. My mother and I were out there trying to clean it up but we didnt even do half. There is stuff in front and the back of the garage. We have family coming over and going to try to get rid of some of the stuff. I have a feeling that we cant do it on our own. We really need help. please contact me ASAP.

Hello my names Jennifer Angulo and I live at home with my parents and 3 other siblings in a small 3 bedroom home in Yakima,WA. Over time my parents have accumaleted a mess in and outside of our. Every single corner is filled with things. When I was young our house was so neat and clean: since my dad started working as a truck driving he had no time to finish his hobby of fixing cars and selling them. Now we have a destroyed long rv sitting in the back next to a destroyed semi truck and 5 non ugly running cars taking over our yard: we also hundreds of parts wether they're car parts; refrigerator parks, tv bikes everything you can imagine. Our yard looks like a junk yard now and it's incredibly sad. My dads even tried to build 3 small not completed garages next to our small garage that was built with the house: we have another smaller rv on the side of the house and on the other side tons of tires and bikes. Now that's only the outsides problem the inside is just packed with things my parents can't seem to throw. The just try and hide everything but now there's so much there's no space to hide all the mess: my brothers schizophrenic and he doesn't understand and isn't very helpful. My dad works so much he has no time to do much around and my mother isn't able to even lift anything 10 or more pounds. We need help asap

Hello,
My name is Sophia and I'm looking for help and an intervention for my mother, Angela. She has recently had her husband incarcerated in federal prison, lost her home to foreclosure, her son passed away unexpectedly in September, and last month her mother died. She has suffered great loss throughout her life and has never learned a healthy way to cope. I have let my mother move into my rental property because she had no where else to go, but now she has completely filled a 3 bedroom 2 bath 2 car garage home with stuff. She feels attacked when someone brings up her living conditions and sees no error in her ways. Everything has a sentimental value to her; to include trash.
I know my mother has a serious mental condition and is in desperate need of help. I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I love my mother dearly and want her to get help, but I'm also a landlord that can't afford the long term damage her hoarding can do to my property. My family NEEDS a solution! She give so much of her self to others, but she doesn't know how to help herself. I truly believe she is letting her need for things and the desire to live in the past destroy her future happiness. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I need help.In 2012 and 2013, I had my mother and brother to pass away. They each had their own household in a house they treated as a duplex. Anyway, I became the sole heir to their property. A few days before my brother passed away, the house was broken into and within 3 weeks, it was broken into 2 more times with some expensive tools stolen. I panicked and had a small army come to the house with boxes that literally had everything they owned dumped into boxes and taken to my house where they were stacked up. The next year, we worked on remodeling the house to sell it. Then trying to take a breather and other tragedy struck with a sister passing away in 2014. Then I had another brother to almost died in 2015. In addition, other close family members passed away during this time. So nothing was done. Prior to 2012, we took in all kinds of furniture and knick knacks from family members because they thought we had a big enough house and "needed" stuff. Unfortunately, we didn't know how to say no. Emotionally, I'm ready to get rid of this stuff. Also, I don't want my children to have to deal with all of this stuff after I pass away. I want a calm and relaxing home that I can enjoy for the rest of my life.

Please help me,
My elderly parents are burying themselves alive. My mother recently had to go to a physical therapy rehabilitation center because of health issues. I spoke with a social worker there about the hoarding and mice infestation issues at my parents house. They sent someone to access the situation. My dad was told if the fire or health department were involved they would give them either a condemned or eviction order. The house is a fire and health hazard. We were told they will not let my mother come home unless this problem is addressed. I don't want my parents to become homeless. I have nowhere to bring them to live. I am currently living with them. I can't clean this up alone. My siblings are deceased and there is only me. I can't do this alone. We can't afford a professional company. I don't know what else to do. I AM DESPERATE. PLEASE HELP.

I suffered from too much clutter for over a decade but always thought I was able to keep everything under control. I worked for a company that required I traveled a lot so I was often away from home and staying in hotels etc so I wasnt as close to the problem. a few years ago I sustained several injuries in an auto accident and was unable to continue working. At first i thought I would be able to tackle some of my clutter issues while recovering but have realized that now more than ever I am in a serious situation that has gone beyond my control since my accident. I am now admitting to myself that this is a mental issue that far exceeds my ability to control it and I am afraid that is will only continue to get worse in old age. I am in my early fifties now and have no one in my life to help or support me through this.

Hi,
I am looking for help for my parents.my mom has became bed ridden and I think because of my dad's hoarding problem. You can't walk no where in the house except a path.I came up to try to get the outside of house cleaned up. Which I made progress, still needs more done.I think she is depressed, and I know it can be fixed, I live 6 1/2 hours away,i was going to suggest a storage unit, but that wouldn't fix his problem of buying and refilling the house. I'm the only kid, and living so far away I need help. I took photos of upstairs rooms, downstairs is ALOT worse. Pleases give me ideas or something,both of them need help.

Please help me. My aging, disabled mother is a hoarder. I'm a professional social scientist with a demanding job and army vet husband who has ptsd. I can barely manage my career and own home but my mother needs help de-cluttering her home and moving into an assisted living situation. I just visited my childhood home and it's horrible. I'm heartbroken for her and at a loss as to how I can get her to see reason. Getrisc @ gmail

Need help and have nowhere to turn.
My mother has been hoarding for years. Her home is filled with junk and now she is disabled. She can't move around in her home and the ceiling above the kitchen caved in. She keeps falling and stubbornly won't leave the home. My dad died in September '14 and I am her ONLY living relative. There's no other support to assist that I know of to correct this monumental problem. I have moved near her to try to help, but I don't even know where to begin.
She has no nearby friends who can help her. I don't even think they know to what horrible extent of bad conditions she is living. She has very little money now, living off of my dead fathers social security only. I have a sick wife at home who can't work right now and I am financially strapped with no extra funds to help my mom's situation. Where and how to I begin to fix this?

Hi Lavonne 🙂
My suggestion is that you consult with a counselor/therapist for you, yourself.
They could help you figure out what is best for you.
I too live with a hoarding man who refuses to change.
Rather than me moving out I chose to take a stand.
I cleared and cleaned all areas inside the house except his bedroom and refuse to allow any clutter in my cleared areas.
Same with one small section out in front of the house where I keep a lovely garden oasis area.
This way I have a functional home and a garden area I enjoy.
Even though half an acre, 4 car/2 story garage, a 3 car carport and his bedroom are severely hoarded and causing insect/rodent/snake infestations, structural damage along with fire and safety issues.

Good luck and best wishes, Tillie

Help!!! My husbands hoarding is destroying our marriage. Im so tired of holding on and forcing myself to live like this. I have never been a clutter junkie and I have OCD really bad and it is the number one reason I want a divorce right now. My husband hoards everything from antiques, automobile, motorcycles, clothes and receipts. It is very bad. I've pleaded numerous times i cant even count on my fingers anymore. I have filed for divorce just to voluntarily dimiss it because he promised he would change. The so-called change only lasted about a week he would sell things on websites but after those two weeks he was back to buying more and more junk! He's had storage units, a backyard shed, closets, beds. floors and even the cars flooded with his junk. He gets mad when i question him about bringing another item home which he does every week. I can not take anymore. He is a good person but his hoarding comes before his own kids and family. The kids stay sick all the time with allergies and wheezing. He does not know how to clean yet every time I clean he just messes everything right back up by cluttering every corner with junk. This has affected out sexual life because i refuse to have sexual relations with him because im always angry with him because of all the junk he keeps bringing to our home. I don't know what else to do. I am on my last straw and am ready to move out and file for divorce. Please help, any advice will do

Hi my name is sophie and i want to help my dad who is a hoarder!! Every day my dad brings back some kind of revolutionary treasure that is really just an old set of scales or extra buckets. One bucket is enough not over 100 !! My mum wants to tidy up ready to sell so she can retire somewhere peaceful after serious heart surgery but it is impossible to get anywhere when within a week the space has filled up again. It looks like a junk yard. We also have a field which is slowly filling up. It seems like an impossible task and i think its time we found some help or else they will both sit in this mess till the end.
Please help !!!
