When a social worker made a wellness
check on 80 year old Mariam,

she couldn’t believe all the stuff Mariam
had in her house.

Items Mariam bought daily from thrift stores,
stacked in piles all over her house,

barely any room to walk around or use her
oven in her kitchen.

Going along with Mariam’s right to have free
will, the social worker couldn’t persuade her

to stop hoarding. And she knew Mariam became
a hoarder after her husband died.

The social worker was consoling and talked Mariam
into attending a support group for widows.

And gradually Mariam got rid of of all the junk in
her house and was no longer a hoarder.
