Obsessive Compulsive Hoarder: The Big Clear Out (Richard Wallace Story Part 2)

[@joyparker3116]

This young man is a great help to this older guy!! We all need to pray and help each other!!!!

I wonder if Richard will ever read these comments and know how proud we are of him Having a community and friends A bed to sleep in and a bathroom Must feel great Good luck to you and much love from Australia to you Richard xx

[@kandreasworld4374]

I'm so glad that Andy found an archive company to take the papers. This way Richard was parting with them but all his work wasn't for nothing. He felt he truly accomplished his goal while ridding himself of it at the same time. That was important.

[@martindewar3352]

It's a shame nobody told the chap all UK newspapers are archived on a website called Nexis

[@kathyouthere]

The public only cared about the property being cleaned outside. Once that was done so were they. Built a fence and forget about him. This man has received more love than he has had for years, What he does with his property as letting his friend stay in a house that Richard has isn't their business. I'm glad this man started helping him. They even let Richard spend the night and play with the kids. Love is the key and it's too bad we don't offer it enough.

[@lesliemcclary7810]

That man and his wife and children became his family that he needed the village people shouldn’t worry about him and Andy because I see Andy as being kind hearted to Richard and if Richard left everything to him he deserves it because he gave him back a sense exceptance

This was much less a story about a hoarder than it was about one man who decided to be his brother’s keeper. It’s too easy to marginalize people with mental disorders. We all need love, attention, and friendship to live a full life💕

[@lisaflower5994]

Exactly! Calling him an ‘opportunist’ is so mean spirited! I think if he, and his few lads half a day a week, and all his personal help, was paid, it would probably even cover the rent! This man has given him more than a home, he has given him a family.

I'm sorry if you have never worked side by side with a hoarder you have no concept of what it takes emotionally, physically, and finacially to help.

[@ruththomas1652]

Amazing transformation. I know, I know, it's not nearly finished, nor will it possibly ever be finished; but I am impressed with the tenacity of this man who chose to make it his monumental effort to help this man get his life back. How those critical neighbors saw evil intent in the reasons for helping is beyond me. How much time and physical and mental energy was involved seemed to be beyond their ken. This family thoroughly deserves the property they have moved into. They have earned it and will continue to pay for it with time, energy and mental effort. And kudos to any and all the neighbors who helped.

[@luannapierce2544]

Could not have said it much better myself. In addition, Richard also made a monumental effort to listen to the voice of reason in his head and to deal with his anxiety. It helped that the psychologist was there to give Richard a voice, be on his side, understand what he was going through as well, while still being supportive of Andy's goals. " what do you see here, Richard that needs to be thrown out, what is garbage and what is not?"

[@mightymouse1005]

People who do nothing to help are the ones who criticized the most

[@junk5354]

It was a pure pleasure to see Richard's birthday party with perhaps a few new shirts!

Turn that into Cash to pay for some repairs here and there.

[@Rockawaysiren]

Back in the 70’s I had an elderly woman as an after school babysitter and she saved paper to burn in her fireplace- she stored the paper beside the fireplace . And the rest of the house was very full of stuff, as well. About 3-4 years later there was a fire in that house and she passed away as a result. I guess if one needs to hoard, keep the stuff away from stoves, fireplaces, heaters....

[@louisehorn8049]

I enjoyed this so much more than Hoarders and Hoarding: Buried Alive. It's so nice to know that Andy and his family have moved in nextdoor. They've become like an extended family to Richard. They've brought him out of the darkness and loneliness of being a recluse. Richard now has friends! Andy has pushed him, every step of the way, to clear out space in his home. I loved how they both laugh and joke about it all. Andy n his family living nextdoor have really saved Richard's life, from the hoard and from the depression Richard had to of been feeling. I can picture then both with gray hair and walking with canes, still laughing and arguing about some useless piece of trash that Richard wants to keep. The Beatles said it all in 2 little sentences.... "All you need is love love. Love is all you need."

I hope you are now somewhat free of the clutter and I am sure that if you are, you also feel lighter and also feel happier that you live in an environment in which you can breathe and feel safe and on top of it, you have people around you who care for you.
