Two Elderly Sisters Are Facing Eviction. We Can Help

Volunteer signup & Donation help at the bottom of this post

I want you to look at the pictures we're sharing with this story.

But before you do, I want you to know something about the people who live here.

They are two elderly sisters.

They are real people, in our community, who have been dealing with serious medical issues. Over time, their health declined to a point where keeping up with their home simply became more than they could physically manage.

Things got out of control.

The house became impossible to maintain because of physical limitations

And then an already difficult situation got worse.

They were served with an eviction notice.

That's how this became our next Good Network project.

And this is one of those projects where we need our community.

Before we judge the pictures...

It's easy to look at a home filled with belongings and wonder how someone could let things get this far.

The reality is much more complicated.

As people age, something that was once manageable can slowly become overwhelming. Health changes. Mobility changes. A spouse or family member dies. Isolation happens. The physical ability to lift, carry, clean and organize disappears.

And for some older adults, there can also be a very real struggle with letting possessions go.

Research shows that excessive clutter & trouble releasing items are significantly more common among older adults and often become more severe over time. It isn't simply someone being lazy, dirty or unwilling to clean.

But whether that's part of this particular family's story isn't ours to diagnose.

What we do know is what is directly in front of us:

Two elderly women are drowning and overwhelmed.

Their health has made maintaining their home incredibly difficult.

They are being evicted and losing their home in a week.

And right now, they need some neighbors willing to show up.

So that's what we're going to do.

Bravo 4 Demo And Junk and Progress LLC have stepped up to help tackle this project and get these women's belongings cleared out so they can move forward into a safer, more dignified living situation.

But this is a BIG job.

And every person who volunteers means fewer paid labor hours and fewer expenses standing between these women and the help they need.

So we're asking for something that doesn't cost anything:

A couple hours of your time.

We need people willing to sort.

People willing to carry.

People willing to load.

People with trucks, trailers or connections to junk removal.

People who aren't afraid to put on some gloves and spend an afternoon helping two strangers get through an incredibly difficult chapter of their lives.

And if you can't physically help but would still like to contribute financially toward disposal, hauling and other expenses, that matters too.

You don't have to solve their entire situation.

You just have to help carry a little piece of it.

That's really what The Good Network has always been about.

Sometimes helping your community isn't glamorous. Sometimes it's standing inside somebody else's mess and understanding that there is a human story behind it.

No judgment.

No embarrassment.

Just neighbors helping neighbors.

If you can give us a couple of hours, have equipment or junk-removal connections, or would like to contribute financially toward this project, please sign up.

Can't Volunteer? You Can Still Be Part of This.

We know not everyone can spend a few hours lifting boxes, sorting belongings, or hauling things away. That doesn't mean you can't make a difference.

A project this size comes with real costs—dump fees, junk removal, transportation, supplies, and professional help for the things volunteers simply can't handle.

Every dollar donated helps bring those costs down and allows the people already stepping up to do even more.

Whether you give two hours of your Saturday or $20 toward a dump run, it all moves us closer to the same goal: helping two women in our community get through an overwhelming situation with dignity.

Let's get enough people together that these women don't have to face this alone.

Let's show up.
