Sorry I got carried away with too many ideas and weensy possible details! I also wrote waaaaay too much, but I was expecting others would post their own ideas too. Completely different ones, maybe better ones - there are all kinds of people here with all kinds of needs and talents. I'm an idea person, for example, not a great follow-through person. Each is needed. And as someone impeded by serious health issues, I can't really participate in helping - can't keep up with my own cleaning, much less help someone else's! Maybe having a couple of volunteers per event in addition is more practical. Nor are any of us trained in sanitary protection, blood and airborne pathogens, using hazmat suits, etc. That's a concern. If we could work these concerns out, however, nearly a million of us really need the help and don't have family or funds with which to do the work. It's urgent nonetheless!

I have been saying the same thing for over a year now but didn't know how to go about it (don't have a web page, etc). A lot of us freeze like deer in headlights when alone with all the piles, the clutter seems to short out something in ADHD brains particularly. HSP's (highly sensitive persons) are very energy sensitive and it overloads their systems too, particularly the smells.

Maybe an online bulletin national board to connect people. We'd need a sponsor to pay for the hosting and web master to manage it.

A required criminal background check on each person seems in order (before letting them into your house). Usually costs about $20.

As a teacher, I noticed students and faculty too always got a lot more done, got along much better, and were all happier and sillier if we approached the 'whatever-it-was' in a fun way. So why not create a nationwide movement of gusto called "Chrysalis Kickers" ? List the guidelines, have a board to connect Kickers. Sell "I'm a Kicker!" aprons and buttons, etc.

Maybe we could get the maker of Power Pak electrolyte and trace minerals packets to sponsor the Chrysalis Kickers web site - great advertising for them, great help for us. "Chrysalis Kickers, sponsored by Power Pak with Vitamin C, Electrolytes, and Trace Minerals - for when you're really ready to kick it!" If they aren't interested, approach the maker of 5 Hour Energy - their little energy drinks really don't cause you to crash later, I tried them. The maker of Zing Bars would be another great fit for a sponsor. "Zing bars, with almond butter protein; when you need more than just a sugar fix." "It don't mean a thing, if you ain't got that Zing!"

Hold each meeting/event/(work party) as a celebration. Tweeters and snacks, music during breaks, under a shady tree with lemonade. Lots more ideas like that. Make it fun and make it as affirming and cheerful as possible.

A list of rules discussed beforehand seems advisable. Rules like the owner makes all the decisions.

Celebrate a maximum of 2 hours at a stretch, given the emotional stress, and physical challenges for the disabled.

Rotate houses, so we each can see some progress (and be sure we really will be helped in return!).

Having nutritional support and enough fluids is important, and so is the yum factor. If it's midday, for example, order a pizza delivered.

Maybe have a Celebration Ritual:
The helper brings 4 paper plates, 4 napkins, 4 Zing bars, and 4 chocolate cupcakes or the like.
The host brings 6 paper cups, 2 bottles of "5 Hour Energy Drink" (there really is no crash later), and 6 large electrolyte drinks OR 4 packets of Power Pak and 2 gallons of quality water.

Start each celebration by toasting each other with copious electrolyte drink, congratulating each other on your mutual decision to break out of the chrysalis and spread new wings. Munch the protein bars. More toasts are in order like, "It has been my chrysalis but it won't be my coffin!"
Have the host talk about all the positive changes this will bring to her life; visualize it together and one more congratulations as if it's done. "No more living like a worm for me! The time has come so I'm breaking free! Will you help me, my friend?" Her helper affirms, "Let's kick out the mess and strife to make room for you and your new best life!"

Commence working together, following the guidelines previously agreed upon. After an hour, sit outside for chocolate cupcakes, 5 Hour Energy drinks and more electrolyte drink. Fluids are critical. Talk only about the positives already accomplished, pride, success, and appreciation. After hour 2, wind up the celebration with the final cupcakes and more electrolyte drink. Set a date for the next celebration, to be held at helper's house within 7 days.
