I am so frustrated and desperate. My mother passed away last year. We were estranged for 15 years. I did not know the squalor they were living in. My mother was always a hoarder but when she got sick apparently my brother decided not to take the dog and cat outside to use the bathroom. So the house was filled with urine and feces. There were 5 inches of trash all over the house. A great group donated 9 trash dumpsters to us. So that is 9 THOUSAND lbs of trash and hoard. There is still about that left. Plus the damage to the house. It is all but destroyed. I am so angry as this was part of my and my kid's inheritance. My brother has his own home he can move into so I am selling the house. I am so angry and he is being angry and abusive to me. I have a lawyer but I need advice. My brother is NOT the hoarder. He never had to do ANY housework or cleaning of any kind. I need help to see if there are other ways of getting dumpsters donated or if there are organizations that would donate construction materials. My husband can do most of the work. My brother already owes 1500 and refuses to pay. Which is not surprising. I am overwhelmed and really need help. I'm not eating or sleeping as this brings up all kinds of trauma from childhood, Any advice would be appreciated. We thought about doing crowdfunding but most of my people and friends do not have a lot of money either and some I don't want to take money from.
