Hoarding Help & ASL Interpreter
Donation protected
We are seeking to raise money for a professional organizer. This is a very sore subject for those involved, so we are trying to keep the post as anonymous as possible.
We have a parent who has a hoarding problem. The disorganization, clutter, and uncleanliness has come the point we feel professional help is needed. We attempted to get ahold of the situation on our own, but quickly realized the issue had become out of control. The profile picture shows the bedroom in its present state, which is still very unkempt even after our attempts. The amount of items that have accumulated is causing safety issues such as excessive dust, mold, fire hazards, and more... It is no way for anyone to live.
Professional help for hoarding costs $75/hr. We are estimating the total we will spend is $1000 on this aspect alone. We are two young adults trying to get on our feet. This is a huge unexpected expense; so any help, whether it be $1, $10, or $100, is greatly appreciated!!!! Thank you to all who have donated thus far!
The person in need of help is also hard of hearding, and neither of us is fluent in ASL. While she can read lips fairly well, we feel it would be most beneficial to have an interpreter to help translate everything into their first language, ASL. This process alone is extremely stressful, but the added confusion of a "language barrier" makes it that much more difficult. We want to make sure everything is clearly explained and understood so that neither she nor we are ever in this position again.
Since posting this, we have been lucky enough to have a couple of people offer their ASL interpreting skills free of charge! We appreciate all the support so far!! :)
