What has touched me the most is that you have given them the attention and help that most elderly would get from their children. Having none, I feel they turned to you because of your ongoing compassion and history of helping others. You're not their son, but in my eyes you treated them as family. You're a good man.
I think the single most important thing (after treating this sweet couple well, without judgment or condescension) that Alex and Melissa chose to do was to decorate and move things around a bit and make everything look nice and clean and cozy. Putting down the rug, moving the shelves into the living room and making a nook for the table and chairs with a picture, staging things to feel comfy and look pretty made all the difference, I’m sure, to how they felt when they came through the door. Imagine the impact of walking into just the bare spaces as they were without that step. I think there would have been more a feeling of loss and mourning for the things that filled that space. Instead, they walked into a space that offered a whole new life! It gave her the ability to say she can look to the future. Bless this sweet couple. And bless Alex and Melissa, Hans and Zenovia, and Josh.
TO THE HOMEOWNERS: Thank you for allowing us to go on this journey with you and get to know you a little. We are all excited for you and this new chapter in life. Watching the Mister (Morris) hold the door and help the Misses (Donna?) get around made my heart happy; what a gentleman. Then, she grabbed Cliff and didn’t let go and I lost it. Your home is beautiful. I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved cat. Much love from South Texas. 💕🙏🏻💕
From a paramedic perspective this is an incredible improvement. Clear access and egress through two doors, clear hall ways and patios, reduced likelihood of falls, fires and crush injuries. The difference you and your team have made to healthcare provision for this couple is stunning in 3 days. Fabulous.
This is the first time I ever saw this video. I don't know what you did or how you worked out everything for them but I can't tell you enough how much I love the video. What I have is just about as bad and I cried with her. I am so happy that you could do that for her and him of course. I wish there was someone like you around here. You are one wonderful wonderful person and have an awesome family. I can't say enough about what I think of you and how much I love you and your family. You are one of the kindest most thoughtful men I think I've ever seen. Your friends are awesome and what a big help. You are one blessed man. I can't wait to see you guys in your own house. Thank you for sharing everything
Her finding Cliffs and hugging and fondling his ear throughout had me in tears! So glad they allowed filming such a personal moment and to see how much they appreciated all the work!
@@OrchestralOrg my daughter, who is now 44, has a bear she received when hospitalized at 7. That bear was with her for every time she faced health challenges, through appendix to kidney disease and now degenerative disk disease. The stuffed babies become so important and provide such comfort. I’m glad she has that bear!
"aw, my kids needed a break from mom and dad anyway." What a gracious way to be kind and tender. What a gift you gave them: dignity, access to safety and health, and a new start.
The way she immediately holds tight to Cliff is just so touching and heartbreaking at the same time... thank goodness Paul rescued Cliff for this lady and Alex found it a place in the living room. She totally needed a cozy friend, specially after the loss of their cat...
Oh, I was so glad to see that she loves Cliff, too! He will be a comfort for her as she is grieving the loss of her beloved cat. It was a divine move that Paul preserved him.
I know! It was so sweet when she picked it up. 🥰 Anyone know if that’s a thing you can buy somewhere or do you think it was handmade? I don’t recognize it as a character of a show or anything.
@@lauren8692 I have one of those monsters too! He's handmade from men's work socks and felt and buttons, and came from a local farmer's market about 10 years ago. Not sure if the vendor still makes them, unfortunately. Edit: The creator is Sarah Bourque and the company was called Belua Designs, but it seems she's moved on to other things. The company "mascot" was a monster named Fremly.
How moving and sweet that they allowed you to film. It shows a level of trust in your viewers that we all understand and have compassion for the mindset that creates a "crowded" house. Alexander, you deserve every bit of relief and pride you must feel.
When Alexander shared the note she had written she mentioned being exposed as a mess... I for one certainly never felt that way! No judgement in the Curiosity Inc. community! Just live and care for others.
What a heartwarming conclusion. A beautiful couple who just needed help. Your channel is supposed to be about treasure hunting but what it really is about is heart, community and generosity. ❤️🙏❤️
To Alex, Melissa, Josh, Paul, Hans, and Zinnovia- words fall short expressing the amount of goodness you release into the world doing things like this. To Morris and Donna- I want to remind you that you also have released untold amounts of goodness into the world. It is evidenced by your receiving this transformation. You deserve your new space and new life. I am so sorry for the loss of your cat. Please get another one when you are ready. There is one waiting in a shelter just for you to share your new life. We are all blessed for this experience you have shared!!
I hope the home owners realize that the people that gets their things at auction will cherish their treasures and they will no longer be confined to a box or the records will be lovingly played. Sometimes the people that collect these things don't realize how excited we are to get them , that they saved them . So thank you for letting them go to be shared.
I’m not crying!!! You’re crying!!! Such a lovely couple!! God bless you Alex The way he is rubbing her shoulders in the bedroom just gently shows their love of each other💕
The kitchen faucet will make a huge difference in their daily life. How fantastic that Hans and Zenovia replaced it. Added bonus to the clean up that will enable them to walk more safely and enjoy their home. I'm so happy for them, and would never dream to judge the accumulation of stuff. It happens! Glad they reached out for help. ❤️
I so appreciate that they shared their homecoming it was the “icing on the cake”. So if you are watching your homecoming and having any doubts about going public please don’t it was great of you to share your house with the rest of us and maybe more people will take the plunge and realize no matter how long something has been off make a move to improve your situation!!!🥰
Reminds me of my Mom’s house. We waited til she died to get rid of anything because she didn’t get to this lady’s attitude. After we got it cleaned out we moved in and we love it. Thank you for your sensitivity for their feelings. Glad they let you record the reveal!
I need tips as well. My parents have a pretty built up hoarding situation. 20+ years of stuff. I am amazed that this lady didn't have the "where is all my stuff" attitude. My Mom would likely freak out and be angry, and sadly fill up the space again with additional stuff.
i am so glad to here someone else has done what i said to my sisters to do.I dont see the point in putting my mum through all the sress and pain of her getting rid of stuff now.I feel it will really upset her and kind of make her give up in a way.Its not waste and dirty and cat waste bad just lots of stuff shes buys online!!
I'm not crying...you're crying. That was very touching. I'm glad they decided to go on camera, though I would've understood if they didn't. I'm so glad you could give them back a house they can live in safe and secure. Sometimes people just get stuck and they just need a bit of help to get going in the right direction. This makes my heart happy. Thank you.
I shudder to think if there had ever been a fire or other trajedy, it would have been very difficult for them to get to safety with the house being so full!
@@christybrainard6134 I started crying before the lady did, and when she started, I lost it!!! Alex could have his own TV show doing this to help people..
Hans, Zinovia, Josh and Paul are an amazing group of friends and should feel a real sense of accomplishment that changed this couples lives. As for you and Melissa I know both your fathers would be so proud of what you do for people. I know they knew that beforehand and they certainly are looking down beaming with pride right now. You are stand up people and it makes me proud to be a part of the curiosity family! Much love xo
Hoarders has nothing on you. You don't just trash and toss the stuff, you rebuild and are not a greedy person at all. They are so lucky to have found you and your family. The respect that you have for other humans is a class act.
For some reason this episode really choked me up. I think the only other one was Mary’s last ride in the ambulance. Thank you for making such a difference in the lives of others. That’s what it’s all about. We all need to strive to make a difference. God bless you all for helping this couple move on to a wonderful new chapter in their lives.
Thank you sweet couple from the “Collector’s House” for being willing to be vulnerable in front of all of us. We are moved by this experience and maybe, because we have learned a way to be better people ourselves when you and Alex et al. lead by example, we can help others in our communities because of this.
Poor lady is in shock. She is grieving for her cat and all those things. She is holding on to that sock puppet for dear life. The husband is so happy though. Thankfully they are there for each other. Amazing job Alex! And the crew!
Love the fact that she's carrying Cliff around with her. You can see her eyes are watery and close to tears. So emotional, especially when the cat was mentioned. Alex - you and your team have done such a wonderful thing for this couple.
At least she has the video. I take photos of things I want to remember, but don't want to store, and just looking at the pictures really helps bring back memories.
I love you all so much for doing all this work for this lovely couple. Not only did you sort through all their stuff and moved it out of the house, you made sure they won't trip over cables and clutter, you redecorated and made them feel like moving in another, much prettier and more spacious home. You fixed things for them and made sure they will be alright when they move back in. You all are such good and loving people, I could cry ♥ Edit: I hope they adopt another kitty to keep them company in their beautiful home!
How beautiful. The kindness and gentleness of this whole exchange is exactly what this world needs more of ❤ How unexpected that Cliff became a tie between the new and old...as well as a symbol between the crew and couple....so sweet. Many blessings to all..
@@stefanfrankel8157 you might not recall your meals but I bet you still recall your first home phone number!! hahahaha I saw a meme about that, and all my friends on FaceBook were agreeing they could recall the number they knew as a child. Is it true? It's true for me. Sending love from New Orleans.
You have pulled off some of the largest love bombs ever! These acts of service are so very heart breakingly beautiful. Thank you for making me believe that humans are redeemable. Love you guys!
Thank you to the homeowners for allowing us to follow this journey. No doubt it will feel like a major shock to see so much change in the home, and especially on top of the turmoil of losing a pet, but I sincerely hope this lovely couple enjoy many years of happiness in their restored home. They have super taste in art work, and some beautiful furnishings -personally I love the asian screens and would leave them. If the house feels a little empty then I hope, when the time is right, they may decide to share it with a new pet. Well done to all involved, those three days of work will have a lasting impact.
If you ever need a fundraiser for another heartful endeavor, you could sell a bunch of Cliffs! Then we could all have a reminder of the good in the world!
What a lovely couple, so happy for them! Alex, Melissa, Paul, Josh, Hans and Zennovia, what wonderful people you are for helping this couple! God bless all of you!♡
I love that she carried Cliff around, it was like she was still able to cling onto the past just a little bit. Well done Alex, Paul, Hans, Zenobia, Josh and Melissa, you all did such an amazing job for a grateful family.
I could feel the Mrs. saying with every stroke and squeeze of “Cliff”, “I’m ok, I’m ok, this is good”...it’s as though he grounded her through what must have been an extremely emotional shock to her senses. Dear dear Alexander was so respectful and kind through this whole reveal. He is a model of true human compassion.
Oh Alex, you made my heart smile. Just how excited you are to please this couple tells everyone what a great guy you really are. Your mother must be very very proud of you. I know I am.
I'm not a hoarder hoarder, but I certainly can downsize my stuff! More than a hundred years worth of family stuff. Thank you for all these contagious acts of love. You all have inspired me to get my act together so my stuff is lovingly relocated to new, loving families with my thanks. 😷😀🌹☮
There was Adam, you helped giving him his life back. There was Hans, and you told us about his living situation, and we all helped....now there is this lovely couple who needed your help. Who else could have pulled this off in a few days? Congrats on another transformation in someone's life. You are an inspiration (along with your crew)!
I find it comforting in the words she said at 13:41 _"I have a two-sided frame of mind, there is the memories and where did they go...and then there is the future and what you have given us"_ It's very fitting for those "collecting" and how to cope with things and memories about those things. And then you responded with a real breakthrough quote _"it's the future that you have to focus on , because a thing is just a thing, a memory is within you"_ So true. That should be framed on the wall! You are a saint to this couple for what you did. I have a Mother that hoards at this level and her Father was the same. I work really hard to not carry the hoarding "gene". I am at odds on to help them sort it out since I know it's a mental disorder and my past attempts to help didn't get either of us anywhere. (The spaces I cleared were filled up again with more garage sale finds.) My only way to cope with it is to be at peace that it is her hoard and then clear it out when she passes. I also have a hoarding Father-in-law. If anybody has any tips on how to get my Mom to this lady's level of "ok to get rid of her stuff", I would appreciate your advice.
My heart aches for them for the loss of their pet. Plus the very emotional experience of stepping back into their home for the first time after the clutter (memories) were removed. The wife seemed to be very overwhelmed yet so grateful for the transition. Wishing them the very best as they look forward to new beginnings. Alexander and Co. you all did something very special here❤🌹❤️
I remember well, the day some four years into a job, when I learned that the 150 page sales report I spent hours producing each month was just placed in a corner and ignored until it was replaced the following month with the new one. Nobody read it. Nobody cared. I felt so dispirited. I was literally wasting my life. The fact you can show concrete proof of the difference all your hard work makes in people's lives is such a blessing. It's not just about the money. Work needs to mean something, or why get out of bed at all. You are a shining example to your community, and worldwide. Thank you, Alex and friends. Thank you.
I wanna hug them both so hard! Her tears of gratitude moved me to tears myself. Enjoy your renewed space, and know so many strangers on the internet are sending you love!
Oh Alex you are a wonderful man. Your family and friends are a true blessing to this world. I hope you are repaid 10 fold for all the kindness and love you put into the world.
I finished watching 30 minutes ago and I’m still crying, reading through all of the comments! 😭 I love the community that Alex and his family and friends have created here. 🥰❤️
Wish there was a gift box exploding with confetti & glitter for the like on this one! I am 70 this month & appreciate your going the extra mile for my fellow seniors. You & your family are smiled on greatly for this one! A beautiful interior design on your part. And the couple is so appreciative of all you have done for them! I'm about to squall. Thank you for bringing us along on this joyous & uplifting ride.😍
I commented during the first video in this series when I was only 5 mins in and Alex was explaining he was emptying a house that a couple still lived in. I said this was going to be a tough series emotionally for everyone involved including us. I’m not sure I expected such a beautiful ending. Bravo team.👏👏👏❤️
This is the most heartwarming thing I’ve seen on TH-cam in ages, in floods of tears here! God bless that family and big high fives to you Alex and all of the gang. You’re all marvels x
Thank you to the couple for sharing this moment with us. It was very generous. Thank you, Alex and crew, for inspiring us to build beautiful spaces to live in and reminding us to choose to treasure people and our memories, not things! I really do understand what happened here. Three years ago I had some knee and hip issues. I got behind, and I am still digging out. One reason I watch is to remind myself that if I just keep working on it, I can do it! Yes, I asked and have found someone to help! So many blessings on your channel, Alex!
Homeowners: You are such gracious and grateful people. I am so glad you kept some things you like and were able to let go of so much which might not have been so easy. My condolences on the loss of your cat! So much happening at once. Congratulations on your new freedom to move about and make it yours again. I'm happy for you. And you motivated me to work in my house. So many commented on being in a similar boat or admiring you for your courage. Thanks for letting us see the work done and your homecoming.
What a wonderful and lovely couple! If you are reading this, thank you so much for letting Alex film you coming home and your reactions, it was so moving to see and I’m so very happy for you both. Also, when my father passed away we found a situation similar to yours. I’m starting to think it unfortunately isn’t at all uncommon, life and stuff gets overwhelming for SO many folks and you two are so brave to have let someone know and asked for help. I wish my dad hadn’t felt the shame he must have felt and asked for it too... Hopefully this will inspire someone else to do the same. Thank you again for being willing to share this experience with us via Alex and Melissa. Hoping you’ll have a great summer in your house and garden and many well wishes from me, over here in Sweden, to you. ☀️🏡 🌷🌷🌷
It took a lot of courage but it's a great example indeed. And a good deal too! ♥️♥️ When they are ready they can take in a new fur baby to complete the home ❤️❤️
Eira, not too long ago I found out my great great grandpa was from Sweden. No one had a clue. But that explains a few things like reddish hair and bigger teeth. I had to dig up really old photos to find unaltered teeth. So the Swedish gene pool is still contributing!!
@@lynnmaupin-simpson1215 Hahaha, I didn’t know big teeth was a Swedish characteristic but I myself do have HUGE front teeth (or had, I’ve had them filed down a bit)! 😆😆😆 My reddish hair is from a box, though. 😂🌷
Eira, my grandmother immigrated to the US from Skara, Sweden around 1915. She had 6 or 7 siblings, so I must have oodles of second cousins in Sweden They were Anderssons and Andersdaughters. Years ago, my mom got a list of her aunts and uncles from, I believe, the church in Skara. I and my daughters' suspect they were Geats. Just not sure about that.
Watching her hug “Cliff” made me cry ❤️ oh these beautiful folks remind me of my own parents. Sentimental things are always the hardest to get rid of. This was amazing❤️ I pray they find another furry friend to bring home.
I was thinking the same thing Tracy, her honest admission was so understandable, hopefully she’s able to remain positive and feel the gains far outweigh the losses. How wonderful to have a fresh start as they enter into their senior years.
One of the best reveals I’ve seen!! Such a heartfelt response from this lovely couple, what a game changer ❤️ how brave of them !! The way she held onto Cliff ❤️ Making me misty eyed ...beautiful work Alex, Melissa and your fabulous team !! 👏
Alex, you are humble, generous, honorable and selfless. You told them that Hans put in a new faucet and plumbing for them. What you didn't say is that it was your idea and you paid for the materials. Hans had the skills to install it, but you gave him all the credit. Big BIG thumbs up on this installment and the whole project! I anticipated a frail, elderly couple but they look younger than me. May they enjoy many happy years in their lovely home. XOXO from Missouri.
Absolutely beautiful and strong warrior couple!!! They should be extremely proud of themselves, standing up of themselves and asking for help, is the most powerful thing they could do!❤
I'm a semi-hoarder and I know what she means about memories. My cat of 16 years died at the same time I moved to a new house. I was able to recycle, donate and discard a whole houseful of 'things'. It was traumatic at first, but the sense of freedom soon overcame any regrets. And...I adopted another cat. I know how grateful I would have been for help and I'm sure she feels the same way.
I appreciate your bravery. I don't really have a "hoard", but I can feel the pull of every material thing in my house. I employ lots of mental tricks and self-talk to fight the urge.
Oh so tender, and so heartwrenching at the same time. I hope she has support and possibly some therapy to help with the anxiety she may feel with the swift loss of the things in the home, and to help develop coping patterns that will replace the drive to acquire more things. I loved how Alex said the memories were still inside of her. We all get stuck in places or situations we need help to extricate ourselves from. How brave of this couple to show themselves on camera in a difficult time. I hope the auction makes a mint!!
Alex- can you please let the couple know that they may have lost objects but gained thousands of people who now LOVE them. It was so brave they allowed you to film them upon arrival. That takes a lot of guts. We all are grateful to them and you for that. Hans, Zinovia, Paul, Josh, you and Melissa worked so hard on their behalf. Back breaking work. You all rock!!! Sending love to you all and the lovely couple, too!!
She says Morris sits here for four or five hours a day & Morris says, 'That may change.' I'll bet! Without that burden they can move around, have people over, do things, pursue hobbies, LIVE.
Yes exactly ,no more need for Morris to sit at the table for hours. He has lots of room to go a venture through their once again new home.. I really hope they enjoy it . Alex and the gang has possible extended their lives by removing all the clutter. Best of luck to both of them .
I loved seeing how excited she was to see Cliff a little critter to cuddle given the loss of their beloved cat. I hope they can give their heart to another kitty as they have so much love to give. Thank you for being so brave in allowing us in on your journey, I know how life can become overwhelming in a heartbeat 💜👏👏
Thank you 🙏🏻 Alex and Melissa ... Not ashamed to say that I shed more than a tear or two ... There is a special place in heaven for you ... God bless you and your family and much love to the wonderful friends you have who made this possible ...
Well , that is truly heartwarming... I'm so glad they were happy with the fresh space to stretch and breath ... I'm happy to have been a part of that as well ☺ *on side note I love the fact that she held on to cliff and was happy to see him withing for their return ... made my day
What a beautiful start to mine and especially your day Paul. I thought of you as she picked up Cliff, I just knew that you and your heart were smiling at that very moment. You are such a big ol’ teddy bear with a warm and wonderful heart. I wish you a beautiful day...🙂
Hitting the "Like" button here seems anaemic to me...it should be at least 10X. What you have given back to this sweet couple is literally immeasurable. Such a generous offering given with grace, kindness, thoughtfulness and respect for their dignity. One of the zillion reasons I love your channel, you and your ENTIRE family (Melissa, kids, Hans, Zinovia, etc.).
This is beautiful You can clearly see how much this meant to them. You always surprise me with that you do for people who have just lost their way in life for a while, Alex. You, Melissa, Hans, Zinovia, Paul and Josh are truly wonderful people.
Lovely couple, so grateful to you. Alex emphasized that they were all happy to help. Gracious of him. A lovely home, beautiful red screens and carpet. Lovely taste.
I agree. You could hear the grief as her voice cracked. All of us who have lost a cherished pet, felt her pain. It made my heart sad. Hopefully with this new life they will have a new fur baby.
Hearing that the cat recently crossed the bridge made me understand their willingness to change. After my 19 year old went, I completely redid the living room she had destroyed (furniture, carpet, paint, baseboards, curtains...you name it). You miss them, but it can be a time of rebirth.
“A thing is just a thing. The memory is within you.” I LOVED that you left that wisdom with her, Alex. Your patience and generosity (AND that of your family & friends) makes the world an all-around better place.
So true and Alex knows this more than most. He's said before that he loves many of the things he buys and has learnt to give them up but still has the memory of having owned it for a short time.
Thank you Generosity Inc team!!! Awesome job in bringing space and beauty back into this home. Lovely you did the extras like the leaking tap/pipe and cleaned too. Then rearranged things so this sweet couple could enjoy it straight away. Kudos to you all and 10 points in everything even Cliff.
What has touched me the most is that you have given them the attention and help that most elderly would get from their children. Having none, I feel they turned to you because of your ongoing compassion and history of helping others. You're not their son, but in my eyes you treated them as family. You're a good man.
Yes, exactly!
💯
Neutral professionals are the best children feel their parent’s emotions !!
I think the single most important thing (after treating this sweet couple well, without judgment or condescension) that Alex and Melissa chose to do was to decorate and move things around a bit and make everything look nice and clean and cozy. Putting down the rug, moving the shelves into the living room and making a nook for the table and chairs with a picture, staging things to feel comfy and look pretty made all the difference, I’m sure, to how they felt when they came through the door. Imagine the impact of walking into just the bare spaces as they were without that step. I think there would have been more a feeling of loss and mourning for the things that filled that space. Instead, they walked into a space that offered a whole new life! It gave her the ability to say she can look to the future. Bless this sweet couple. And bless Alex and Melissa, Hans and Zenovia, and Josh.
And that masked rocker, Paul!

Blessings to you for having to courage to reach out and take this step in your life! Be safe be well and know you are loved!
From a paramedic perspective this is an incredible improvement. Clear access and egress through two doors, clear hall ways and patios, reduced likelihood of falls, fires and crush injuries. The difference you and your team have made to healthcare provision for this couple is stunning in 3 days. Fabulous.
I love how he immediately consoled his wife when she grew upset over the loss of their 22 year old cat. What a lovely, lovely couple.
Many men would have kept their distance. He is a fine husband.
That was her baby, maybe they'll get a senior cat to stay company for a few more years.
yup around 6:00 so lovely
I know...that was so kind. I cried at that point, too; I love my cats and understand that pain of loss.
This is the first time I ever saw this video. I don't know what you did or how you worked out everything for them but I can't tell you enough how much I love the video. What I have is just about as bad and I cried with her. I am so happy that you could do that for her and him of course. I wish there was someone like you around here. You are one wonderful wonderful person and have an awesome family. I can't say enough about what I think of you and how much I love you and your family.

Her finding Cliffs and hugging and fondling his ear throughout had me in tears! So glad they allowed filming such a personal moment and to see how much they appreciated all the work!
Same! :( I'm so glad they left Cliff. She needed him.
It was so affecting to see, just so sweet!
I thought the same thing. Cliff, unexpectedly, was there for moral support.
*teddy bears are wonderful, right? i have a 38 year old teddy bear that i sleep with. he's my closest companion. :D*

I cried even more !!!! When she automatically picked up CLIFF 😭😭😭😭o man that GOT ME!!!!
I know! It was so sweet when she picked it up. 🥰 Anyone know if that’s a thing you can buy somewhere or do you think it was handmade? I don’t recognize it as a character of a show or anything.
I was thinking that, too! Someone soft and small to hold while she grieves her kitty. So sweet. ☺️

I'd say it's just a different kind of treasure- heart, community and generosity ☺️

@@randijohnson3806 I was about to say the same thing
Alex and the crew are the real treasure's 🤗
That is the REAL treasure in life!!!!
To Alex, Melissa, Josh, Paul, Hans, and Zinnovia- words fall short expressing the amount of goodness you release into the world doing things like this. To Morris and Donna- I want to remind you that you also have released untold amounts of goodness into the world. It is evidenced by your receiving this transformation. You deserve your new space and new life. I am so sorry for the loss of your cat. Please get another one when you are ready. There is one waiting in a shelter just for you to share your new life. We are all blessed for this experience you have shared!!
What Peggy said : )
Those people you mentioned are indeed some very special human beings.
“Generosity Inc.” the new feel good series to warm the world.
Awe Love that!!!
The name for the TV series...
Wow
Love it!!
I hope the home owners realize that the people that gets their things at auction will cherish their treasures and they will no longer be confined to a box or the records will be lovingly played. Sometimes the people that collect these things don't realize how excited we are to get them , that they saved them . So thank you for letting them go to be shared.
What a brave couple. Asking for help when they needed it, and being willing to be filmed. Well done everyone.
It’s was heart warming that she grabbed “Cliff” & carried him around her new house ❤️❤️
It was so adorable I’m glad she likes him
Yes!!
I’m not crying!!! You’re crying!!!
Such a lovely couple!! God bless you Alex
The way he is rubbing her shoulders in the bedroom just gently shows their love of each other💕
No I'm not... You are! 😁
Well I'm not crying..
Yes I am😢
So touching❤
You and Melissa and the crew are the kindest people. You literally changed their lives.
This, just this, is what life is about. Nothing more, nothing less. Helping your forefathers. Always❣️
Thank you to the couple for letting Alex film the reveal! Like everyone else I almost lost it when she grabbed Cliff and carried him around with her!
This is why Alex and his family recieves such great blessings! They've done so much to help so many. So glad to see some good in this world.
There is PLENTY good in this world. It's in the eye of the beholder 😉
And Hans and Zinovia also...Blessings upon Blessings here and you all get to reap more from the auction too...
@@dawncloninger1798
And don’t forget Josh! He works hard and with a smile - just gets it done and gets out when he’s finished.
@@Lucinda_Jackson Alex has such good friends. They all help each other. So lovely to see.
@@shirleydunn8050 You know what else I see? A lovely kind audience full of positivity toward all concerned. My heart is full.
The kitchen faucet will make a huge difference in their daily life. How fantastic that Hans and Zenovia replaced it. Added bonus to the clean up that will enable them to walk more safely and enjoy their home. I'm so happy for them, and would never dream to judge the accumulation of stuff. It happens! Glad they reached out for help. ❤️
And now theres room to replace the dishwasher & for someone to work on it if they feel ready.
I so appreciate that they shared their homecoming it was the “icing on the cake”. So if you are watching your homecoming and having any doubts about going public please don’t it was great of you to share your house with the rest of us and maybe more people will take the plunge and realize no matter how long something has been off make a move to improve your situation!!!🥰
Reminds me of my Mom’s house. We waited til she died to get rid of anything because she didn’t get to this lady’s attitude. After we got it cleaned out we moved in and we love it. Thank you for your sensitivity for their feelings. Glad they let you record the reveal!
I need tips as well. My parents have a pretty built up hoarding situation. 20+ years of stuff. I am amazed that this lady didn't have the "where is all my stuff" attitude. My Mom would likely freak out and be angry, and sadly fill up the space again with additional stuff.
i am so glad to here someone else has done what i said to my sisters to do.I dont see the point in putting my mum through all the sress and pain of her getting rid of stuff now.I feel it will really upset her and kind of make her give up in a way.Its not waste and dirty and cat waste bad just lots of stuff shes buys online!!
@@canadude6401 So would my mum she's very independent and stubborn lol
I'm not crying...you're crying. That was very touching. I'm glad they decided to go on camera, though I would've understood if they didn't. I'm so glad you could give them back a house they can live in safe and secure. Sometimes people just get stuck and they just need a bit of help to get going in the right direction. This makes my heart happy. Thank you.
I shudder to think if there had ever been a fire or other trajedy, it would have been very difficult for them to get to safety with the house being so full!
Yep I'm crying.
Couldn't agree more.
@@christybrainard6134 I started crying before the lady did, and when she started, I lost it!!! Alex could have his own TV show doing this to help people..
So well said!
If there was a “love” button instead of a “like” I would !! Amazing transformation !! What a gift to them!
Hans, Zinovia, Josh and Paul are an amazing group of friends and should feel a real sense of accomplishment that changed this couples lives. As for you and Melissa I know both your fathers would be so proud of what you do for people. I know they knew that beforehand and they certainly are looking down beaming with pride right now. You are stand up people and it makes me proud to be a part of the curiosity family! Much love xo
Hoarders has nothing on you. You don't just trash and toss the stuff, you rebuild and are not a greedy person at all. They are so lucky to have found you and your family. The respect that you have for other humans is a class act.
For some reason this episode really choked me up. I think the only other one was Mary’s last ride in the ambulance. Thank you for making such a difference in the lives of others. That’s what it’s all about. We all need to strive to make a difference. God bless you all for helping this couple move on to a wonderful new chapter in their lives.
Thank you sweet couple from the “Collector’s House” for being willing to be vulnerable in front of all of us. We are moved by this experience and maybe, because we have learned a way to be better people ourselves when you and Alex et al. lead by example, we can help others in our communities because of this.
Perfect!
Perfectly said... 😍🥰😍🥰😍
Poor lady is in shock. She is grieving for her cat and all those things. She is holding on to that sock puppet for dear life. The husband is so happy though. Thankfully they are there for each other. Amazing job Alex! And the crew!
❤
I believe he is her son
@@MarijaEnchantix I believe in one of the videos, as Alex is looking at all the toys, he mentions that they never had children.
@@MarijaEnchantix But, I remember it being said they had no children.
@@pattiestivender2921 I stand corrected, thank you!
Love the fact that she's carrying Cliff around with her. You can see her eyes are watery and close to tears. So emotional, especially when the cat was mentioned. Alex - you and your team have done such a wonderful thing for this couple.
She is also probably struggling because her stuff is gone. I think that is why she is carrying cliff around. This stuff goes deep
I have to admit I teared up a bit when she snatched up Cliff and hugged him close. It's obvious they watched some of the episodes.
At least she has the video. I take photos of things I want to remember, but don't want to store, and just looking at the pictures really helps bring back memories.
I love you all so much for doing all this work for this lovely couple. Not only did you sort through all their stuff and moved it out of the house, you made sure they won't trip over cables and clutter, you redecorated and made them feel like moving in another, much prettier and more spacious home. You fixed things for them and made sure they will be alright when they move back in. You all are such good and loving people, I could cry ♥
Edit: I hope they adopt another kitty to keep them company in their beautiful home!
How beautiful. The kindness and gentleness of this whole exchange is exactly what this world needs more of ❤ How unexpected that Cliff became a tie between the new and old...as well as a symbol between the crew and couple....so sweet. Many blessings to all..
"A thing is just a thing. The memory is within you.' ~ Alexander Archbold
Hit the nail right on the head, Alex. Well done, well done indeed...all.
Sometimes you need something to remind you, though, especially when you get old. I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday. ;O)
That made me cry!! Hit home
@@stefanfrankel8157 you might not recall your meals but I bet you still recall your first home phone number!! hahahaha I saw a meme about that, and all my friends on FaceBook were agreeing they could recall the number they knew as a child. Is it true? It's true for me. Sending love from New Orleans.
You have pulled off some of the largest love bombs ever! These acts of service are so very heart breakingly beautiful. Thank you for making me believe that humans are redeemable. Love you guys!
Thank you to the homeowners for allowing us to follow this journey. No doubt it will feel like a major shock to see so much change in the home, and especially on top of the turmoil of losing a pet, but I sincerely hope this lovely couple enjoy many years of happiness in their restored home. They have super taste in art work, and some beautiful furnishings -personally I love the asian screens and would leave them. If the house feels a little empty then I hope, when the time is right, they may decide to share it with a new pet. Well done to all involved, those three days of work will have a lasting impact.
Cliff is sort of their mascot to never go back. How heart warming. I can't see through the tears.
If you ever need a fundraiser for another heartful endeavor, you could sell a bunch of Cliffs! Then we could all have a reminder of the good in the world!
I want a Cliff!
Brilliant idea! I’m betting fans of this channel would both knit and buy them in order to finance a cleanup like this
What a lovely couple, so happy for them! Alex, Melissa, Paul, Josh, Hans and Zennovia, what wonderful people you are for helping this couple! God bless all of you!♡
I love that she carried Cliff around, it was like she was still able to cling onto the past just a little bit. Well done Alex, Paul, Hans, Zenobia, Josh and Melissa, you all did such an amazing job for a grateful family.
I could feel the Mrs. saying with every stroke and squeeze of “Cliff”, “I’m ok, I’m ok, this is good”...it’s as though he grounded her through what must have been an extremely emotional shock to her senses. Dear dear Alexander was so respectful and kind through this whole reveal. He is a model of true human compassion.
@@NitrosMom074 Alex is man as God intended a man to be.
@@MKCarol-ms7lg I completely agree!
Oh Alex, you made my heart smile. Just how excited you are to please this couple tells everyone what a great guy you really are. Your mother must be very very proud of you. I know I am.
Thank you Pat :)
Thanks for the reminder that there is kindness and goodness in the world! Love you all!
I'm not a hoarder hoarder, but I certainly can downsize my stuff! More than a hundred years worth of family stuff.
Thank you for all these contagious acts of love. You all have inspired me to get my act together so my stuff is lovingly relocated to new, loving families with my thanks. 😷😀🌹☮
As long as you have it organised, and are clear to people what you want them to be assigned for, there is nothing to worry.
Curiosity strikes again! Changing lives and dreams for the better! What a heartwarming series!!
There was Adam, you helped giving him his life back. There was Hans, and you told us about his living situation, and we all helped....now there is this lovely couple who needed your help. Who else could have pulled this off in a few days? Congrats on another transformation in someone's life. You are an inspiration (along with your crew)!
And his mother and other family members who got cheated out of their retirement money that he helped refund.
@@erad67 forgot about that horror- that he was able to right that wrong!
The way she scooped up Cliffy 😍 Amazing work!
I’m not crying, you’re crying! So happy they allowed the reveal to be filmed. Such nice people.
I find it comforting in the words she said at 13:41 _"I have a two-sided frame of mind, there is the memories and where did they go...and then there is the future and what you have given us"_ It's very fitting for those "collecting" and how to cope with things and memories about those things.
And then you responded with a real breakthrough quote _"it's the future that you have to focus on , because a thing is just a thing, a memory is within you"_
So true. That should be framed on the wall! You are a saint to this couple for what you did.
I have a Mother that hoards at this level and her Father was the same. I work really hard to not carry the hoarding "gene". I am at odds on to help them sort it out since I know it's a mental disorder and my past attempts to help didn't get either of us anywhere. (The spaces I cleared were filled up again with more garage sale finds.)
My only way to cope with it is to be at peace that it is her hoard and then clear it out when she passes. I also have a hoarding Father-in-law. If anybody has any tips on how to get my Mom to this lady's level of "ok to get rid of her stuff", I would appreciate your advice.
Have her watch this series and the other series Alex has done. Maybe it will inspire her!
Conquer the Clutter. Canadian author Elaine Birchall. Also on Audible.
I'm NOT gonna cry watching her grasp tightly onto Cliff while her world transforms around her into a huge blessing. I'm not. OK maybe.
Just give up, I did :)
ah too late
I bet Paul did too! Then did a happy dance in his Batman mask!!
I cried with her !
Yup, me too. Lol.
Such a sweet couple. And they are so courageous to take that leap of faith and entrust you with their well being!
My heart aches for them for the loss of their pet. Plus the very emotional experience of stepping back into their home for the first time after the clutter (memories) were removed. The wife seemed to be very overwhelmed yet so grateful for the transition. Wishing them the very best as they look forward to new beginnings. Alexander and Co. you all did something very special here❤🌹❤️
I remember well, the day some four years into a job, when I learned that the 150 page sales report I spent hours producing each month was just placed in a corner and ignored until it was replaced the following month with the new one. Nobody read it. Nobody cared. I felt so dispirited. I was literally wasting my life. The fact you can show concrete proof of the difference all your hard work makes in people's lives is such a blessing. It's not just about the money. Work needs to mean something, or why get out of bed at all. You are a shining example to your community, and worldwide. Thank you, Alex and friends. Thank you.
I work in public policy. I feel ya, dude.
All teary eyed here but in a good way. You and your wife and friends are just too sweet and wonderful. 💖💖💖💖💖
I wanna hug them both so hard! Her tears of gratitude moved me to tears myself. Enjoy your renewed space, and know so many strangers on the internet are sending you love!
Sat here crying with the lovely lady she was overwhelmed by everything you had done for them great work by you all 👏👏👏
Me too ✋ 😪
And me!
Same! I wanted to hug her.
Crying here, too!
I think there were a LOT of tears shed with her! 💕
This is why we LOVE Curiosity Inc. so much, the happy ending you provide for so many people, including your viewers...
Oh Alex you are a wonderful man. Your family and friends are a true blessing to this world. I hope you are repaid 10 fold for all the kindness and love you put into the world.
Somehow I don't believe Morris will be spending as much time sitting at the table. I wish them all the best.
Ya'll did a fantastic job!
“The future is what you have to focus on because the ‘thing’ is just a thing; the memory is within you”.. profound.
I have my moments haha :)
@@CuriosityIncorporated you are a wise and kind man, Alex. Melissa is also the same way. A perfect match.
I was going to mention that!! Wise, caring Alex!
And most everything has been passed on for others to cherish...not into dumpsters!
Who said that? 🙏🏼😘
Oh my gosh I cannot stop crying with this beautiful woman Holding cliff and her husband being so careing, They are so amazing, God Bless them !
I finished watching 30 minutes ago and I’m still crying, reading through all of the comments! 😭 I love the community that Alex and his family and friends have created here. 🥰❤️
I know how hard that was for her, what a brave lady. An inspiration to all of us.
Wish there was a gift box exploding with confetti & glitter for the like on this one! I am 70 this month & appreciate your going the extra mile for my fellow seniors. You & your family are smiled on greatly for this one! A beautiful interior design on your part. And the couple is so appreciative of all you have done for them! I'm about to squall. Thank you for bringing us along on this joyous & uplifting ride.😍
God bless them, with good health and happiness.
I commented during the first video in this series when I was only 5 mins in and Alex was explaining he was emptying a house that a couple still lived in. I said this was going to be a tough series emotionally for everyone involved including us. I’m not sure I expected such a beautiful ending. Bravo team.👏👏👏❤️
This is the most heartwarming thing I’ve seen on TH-cam in ages, in floods of tears here! God bless that family and big high fives to you Alex and all of the gang. You’re all marvels x
Tears from beginning to end. God bless you Alex. You are such a model human. Your empathy is amazing and humbling.
Aww she misses her baby , she is holding that stuffed cat. How sweet. He seems so relieved and happy now.
Her emotions are worth more than any amount of money
Thank you to the couple for sharing this moment with us. It was very generous. Thank you, Alex and crew, for inspiring us to build beautiful spaces to live in and reminding us to choose to treasure people and our memories, not things! I really do understand what happened here. Three years ago I had some knee and hip issues. I got behind, and I am still digging out. One reason I watch is to remind myself that if I just keep working on it, I can do it! Yes, I asked and have found someone to help! So many blessings on your channel, Alex!
Good luck on your clear out. You can do it!
Homeowners: You are such gracious and grateful people. I am so glad you kept some things you like and were able to let go of so much which might not have been so easy. My condolences on the loss of your cat! So much happening at once. Congratulations on your new freedom to move about and make it yours again. I'm happy for you. And you motivated me to work in my house. So many commented on being in a similar boat or admiring you for your courage. Thanks for letting us see the work done and your homecoming.
What a wonderful and lovely couple! If you are reading this, thank you so much for letting Alex film you coming home and your reactions, it was so moving to see and I’m so very happy for you both. Also, when my father passed away we found a situation similar to yours. I’m starting to think it unfortunately isn’t at all uncommon, life and stuff gets overwhelming for SO many folks and you two are so brave to have let someone know and asked for help. I wish my dad hadn’t felt the shame he must have felt and asked for it too... Hopefully this will inspire someone else to do the same. Thank you again for being willing to share this experience with us via Alex and Melissa. Hoping you’ll have a great summer in your house and garden and many well wishes from me, over here in Sweden, to you. ☀️🏡 🌷🌷🌷
It took a lot of courage but it's a great example indeed. And a good deal too!
♥️♥️ When they are ready they can take in a new fur baby to complete the home ❤️❤️
yes thank you to this couple for letting us share the wonderful reveal, enjoy every moment forward
Eira, not too long ago I found out my great great grandpa was from Sweden. No one had a clue. But that explains a few things like reddish hair and bigger teeth. I had to dig up really old photos to find unaltered teeth. So the Swedish gene pool is still contributing!!
@@lynnmaupin-simpson1215 Hahaha, I didn’t know big teeth was a Swedish characteristic but I myself do have HUGE front teeth (or had, I’ve had them filed down a bit)! 😆😆😆 My reddish hair is from a box, though. 😂🌷
Eira, my grandmother immigrated to the US from Skara, Sweden around 1915. She had 6 or 7 siblings, so I must have oodles of second cousins in Sweden
They were Anderssons and Andersdaughters. Years ago, my mom got a list of her aunts and uncles from, I believe, the church in Skara. I and my daughters' suspect they were Geats. Just not sure about that.
Watching her hug “Cliff” made me cry ❤️ oh these beautiful folks remind me of my own parents. Sentimental things are always the hardest to get rid of. This was amazing❤️ I pray they find another furry friend to bring home.
I started crying as soon as they walked in the door. Just absolutely wonderful job.
How astute she was when she said she had two frames of mind, but she is focusing on the future now. ❤️
I was thinking the same thing Tracy, her honest admission was so understandable, hopefully she’s able to remain positive and feel the gains far outweigh the losses. How wonderful to have a fresh start as they enter into their senior years.
She is correct: the past is the property of memory.
Yes, seeing more clearly now. This is healing!
Beautiful couple💗
Omg this is amazing. You changed her life!! And Hans is an angel that you gave wings to❤️
One of the best reveals I’ve seen!! Such a heartfelt response from this lovely couple, what a game changer ❤️ how brave of them !! The way she held onto Cliff ❤️ Making me misty eyed ...beautiful work Alex, Melissa and your fabulous team !! 👏
Alex, you are humble, generous, honorable and selfless. You told them that Hans put in a new faucet and plumbing for them. What you didn't say is that it was your idea and you paid for the materials. Hans had the skills to install it, but you gave him all the credit. Big BIG thumbs up on this installment and the whole project! I anticipated a frail, elderly couple but they look younger than me. May they enjoy many happy years in their lovely home. XOXO from Missouri.
I'm so glad that couple let you film them and share such an emotional reunion with their home.
Absolutely beautiful and strong warrior couple!!! They should be extremely proud of themselves, standing up of themselves and asking for help, is the most powerful thing they could do!❤
Even us big tuff guys gotta drop a tear when she was so thankful ...hit me right in the ol' pumper it did! Full circle positivity as always Alex!
Aww :)
💕
I'm a semi-hoarder and I know what she means about memories. My cat of 16 years died at the same time I moved to a new house. I was able to recycle, donate and discard a whole houseful of 'things'. It was traumatic at first, but the sense of freedom soon overcame any regrets. And...I adopted another cat. I know how grateful I would have been for help and I'm sure she feels the same way.
Sweet couple. Thanks curiosity inc and friends.
I appreciate your bravery. I don't really have a "hoard", but I can feel the pull of every material thing in my house. I employ lots of mental tricks and self-talk to fight the urge.
Oh so tender, and so heartwrenching at the same time. I hope she has support and possibly some therapy to help with the anxiety she may feel with the swift loss of the things in the home, and to help develop coping patterns that will replace the drive to acquire more things. I loved how Alex said the memories were still inside of her. We all get stuck in places or situations we need help to extricate ourselves from. How brave of this couple to show themselves on camera in a difficult time. I hope the auction makes a mint!!
I don’t even know what to say, but I want to comment. It’s just so beautiful.
Alex- can you please let the couple know that they may have lost objects but gained thousands of people who now LOVE them. It was so brave they allowed you to film them upon arrival. That takes a lot of guts. We all are grateful to them and you for that. Hans, Zinovia, Paul, Josh, you and Melissa worked so hard on their behalf. Back breaking work. You all rock!!! Sending love to you all and the lovely couple, too!!
Oh man. They are so sweet and what you did for them is so fantastic. What a great ending to this story.
She says Morris sits here for four or five hours a day & Morris says, 'That may change.' I'll bet! Without that burden they can move around, have people over, do things, pursue hobbies, LIVE.
Yes exactly ,no more need for Morris to sit at the table for hours. He has lots of room to go a venture through their once again new home.. I really hope they enjoy it . Alex and the gang has possible extended their lives by removing all the clutter. Best of luck to both of them .
You know, small footprint, not every thought need go out into the universe. We all have problems one way or another.
I loved seeing how excited she was to see Cliff a little critter to cuddle given the loss of their beloved cat. I hope they can give their heart to another kitty as they have so much love to give. Thank you for being so brave in allowing us in on your journey, I know how life can become overwhelming in a heartbeat 💜👏👏
Thank you 🙏🏻 Alex and Melissa ... Not ashamed to say that I shed more than a tear or two ... There is a special place in heaven for you ... God bless you and your family and much love to the wonderful friends you have who made this possible ...
Well , that is truly heartwarming... I'm so glad they were happy with the fresh space to stretch and breath ... I'm happy to have been a part of that as well ☺
*on side note I love the fact that she held on to cliff and was happy to see him withing for their return ... made my day
She really did seem to find comfort in Cliff! ☺️ I bet she could feel how you all really care, from having him. 🌸
You were an amazing help on this Paul... thanks for giving us a few days of your life to change someone else’s :)
@@CuriosityIncorporated
Anytime .... I'm happy to help and be part of making someone's life that much brighter
Hey Paul. What you all did for this couple is beyond amazing!! Its a true blessing!!
What a beautiful start to mine and especially your day Paul. I thought of you as she picked up Cliff, I just knew that you and your heart were smiling at that very moment. You are such a big ol’ teddy bear with a warm and wonderful heart. I wish you a beautiful day...🙂
I'm almost shedding a tear over here. So happy for everyone involved. Maybe they can hire Hans to fix the floor and dishwasher.
Hitting the "Like" button here seems anaemic to me...it should be at least 10X. What you have given back to this sweet couple is literally immeasurable. Such a generous offering given with grace, kindness, thoughtfulness and respect for their dignity. One of the zillion reasons I love your channel, you and your ENTIRE family (Melissa, kids, Hans, Zinovia, etc.).
I think there should be a heart button for love it.
This is beautiful You can clearly see how much this meant to them. You always surprise me with that you do for people who have just lost their way in life for a while, Alex. You, Melissa, Hans, Zinovia, Paul and Josh are truly wonderful people.
Lovely couple, so grateful to you. Alex emphasized that they were all happy to help. Gracious of him. A lovely home, beautiful red screens and carpet. Lovely taste.
Alex! You are an angel! You have done such a wonderful job for this couple!
I like the gentleman’s hat!
Please thank them for sharing their memories with us. She hasn't lost them, just passed them on.
As a cat owner I really felt for her missing her 22 year old cat. The replaced sink was a huge hit.
Unless he didn't show it they did really well keeping the house as sanitary as they did with a cat in there all those years, and an old one at that.
I agree. You could hear the grief as her voice cracked. All of us who have lost a cherished pet, felt her pain. It made my heart sad. Hopefully with this new life they will have a new fur baby.
Hearing that the cat recently crossed the bridge made me understand their willingness to change. After my 19 year old went, I completely redid the living room she had destroyed (furniture, carpet, paint, baseboards, curtains...you name it). You miss them, but it can be a time of rebirth.
“A thing is just a thing. The memory is within you.” I LOVED that you left that wisdom with her, Alex. Your patience and generosity (AND that of your family & friends) makes the world an all-around better place.
So true and Alex knows this more than most. He's said before that he loves many of the things he buys and has learnt to give them up but still has the memory of having owned it for a short time.
I am a blubbering fool. That was so totally worth it. They seem so appreciative. 💜
Thank you Generosity Inc team!!! Awesome job in bringing space and beauty back into this home. Lovely you did the extras like the leaking tap/pipe and cleaned too. Then rearranged things so this sweet couple could enjoy it straight away. Kudos to you all and 10 points in everything even Cliff.
