Hi, I go by Rahara on the internet, and my elderly mother and I live together in a house that has become unsafe as it is a hoarder house. With your help the house can get back into a livable state that's safe for the both of us.

Living like this is untenable and unsafe and has also impacted our health. There is no space in the kitchen to cook without first cleaning space to cook, and then clearing space to wash dishes. Even walking in the house has become unsafe. I recently fell and was lucky to not have a serious injury to my head, and I'm worried about what would happen to my mom if she was unlucky due to her age.

We are fortunate enough to have friends who are willing to help with an insurmountable amount of work for an elderly woman and her disabled daughter to do by themselves, but we need cleaning supplies and PPE in order to safely clean and so do the people who are willing to help us clean. I am a person who strongly believes that people should be paid for the work that they do and also seek funds to pay everyone who comes to help us restore our home to a safe and manageable state.

In addition to paying our helpers the funds raised through this GoFundMe will be spent to purchase and restock supplies of:

Hazardous waste removal body suits

Gloves

Masks

Safety goggles

Shoe coverings

Bleach

Floor Cleaner

Stove Cleaner

Multi Surface Cleaner for Sinks and Countertops

Mop and Bucket

Broom

Rake

Paper Towels

Trash Bags

Renting a Dumpster for the big clean out

Also helping us get the house clean will allow for me being able to get my studio fully set up and make it so that my small business can flourish.

Update 1 : I will also be using this money to pay for things to help with organization and keeping the house permanently clean in addition to what has been previously listed.
