Children Of Hoarders
Children of Hoarders is a website developed by a daughter of a hoarder. She has done a tremendous job for people affected by hoarding. This website is loaded with everything you need to know about hoarding as well as a huge database of help for hoarders and their loved ones. I highly recommend you look at this site if you need any information on hoarding.

If you are faced with cleaning up years of hoarded clutter, you are almost certainly feeling overwhelmed and asking, "Where do I start?" Maybe you feel like you're the worst housekeeper ever.
You're not the first person to struggle with this. Squalor has been beaten, and some who preceded you on this journey want to help those who follow on the path to freedom from squalor. It's not an easy cruise, but it's worth it. We won't judge you, the person living in squalor. Being a bad housekeeper doesn't make you a bad person. I'm not saying living in squalor is okay. We come to bury squalor, not to praise her. You deserve better than to live in squalor.

Steri-Clean has developed a website dedicated to helping people across the Nation find help with their clutter. Since our inception in 1995, we have developed relationships with qualified companies throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, France and other locations. By teaming with Steri-Clean of California, we have filled the void, so nobody is left to deal with a hoarding issue alone. You can view the Nationwide Hoarding Cleanup website here.
