Professional Organizing & Cleanout Services in South Bend, Indiana

I can normally figure out how to purge and organize my house. I love doing it when I have the time and motivation. I can normally do the same for others, too. This time, I was in over my head.

I had to take on my parents’ house. My mom was a very organized person. Although she has a ton of things, it was all very organized. Over the last few years, she was heading into the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s. Not realizing how bad she became until she couldn’t do daily tasks. Putting away things from a holiday, a get-together, or even the end of summer. I opened up a door to a storage area in her house, only to find things shoved in and piled up.

I thought I could handle the task myself until I kept going room to room. My anxiety level went into over drive because it needed to be done, but I didn’t know where to even start.

That’s when I called Shannon. She came over, and I showed her every room in the house. She was amazing with giving me a plan because I knew we/she couldn’t do it all in one day. Having to purge your parent’s things while they are home is not an easy task. We started in one storage area, and from the second she walked in, she was in complete work mode. As we pulled things out, she made it so easy for me to either keep, donate, sell, or trash. If I was unsure where it should go, she helped me make that decision. In such a short time she had that area put back together in a way I would still be trying to figure out what to do with. She even disposed of some of the trash and took stuff to donate. (Those things would still be in the back of my car if I had to do it). The woman is amazing. I even opened a drawer and closed it because I knew it would take too long to do. She had it organized in less than 10 minutes.

I highly recommend Shannon to anyone who has lost motivation, is overwhelmed, or you just don’t have time to do it yourself. Because of the time frame we had, I chose to stay and help her with it all. She normally does it all on her own. I still have about 10 more rooms for her to do, and I will not even try to do what she can do on my own. When my Dad saw the area, I thought he was going to cry with excitement and relief. He even now starts a project he wants done with, “Call your organizer friend to get this area done.”
