The Family Cleanup Fund

You live four states away. Your mother’s house has gotten bad, she knows it, and she will not take your money — not as a gift, not as a loan, not framed any way you’ve tried so far. Every conversation about it ends the same.

This is for that.

A Family Cleanup Fund credit is money put toward cleanup work at our company, in any amount from $100 to $10,000. It isn’t cash, so it can’t be spent on anything else, quietly declined, or turned into an argument about independence. It’s a specific offer of a specific kind of help, and the person receiving it stays in control of when and whether to use it.

Contribute to a Family Cleanup Fund

How it works

  1. Choose an amount. Anything from $100 to $10,000. If we’ve already given you a written estimate, you can enter that exact figure.
  2. Decide who receives it, and when. You can send it straight to the person, or — and most people choose this — send it to yourself, so you can hand it to them in a conversation rather than having it land in their inbox on a Tuesday morning with no warning.
  3. They call when they’re ready. The credit doesn’t expire on a schedule that pressures anybody.
  4. We apply it to the work. The balance comes off the invoice.

Send it to yourself. Really.

We built the option in deliberately, and we recommend it more often than not.

An unannounced email that says a relative has bought you hoarding cleanup is, for a lot of people, a small humiliation. It says: everyone has been talking about your house. Even when it’s meant with love — and it always is — it can land as an ambush, and the response is often a door closing that took you a year to get open.

Choose “send to myself,” and you decide the moment. Over coffee. In person. After you’ve asked how she’s doing and actually listened to the answer.

Can several people contribute to one job?

Yes, and it’s one of the most common ways these projects get funded. Four siblings at $1,500 each covers a substantial cleanup, and nobody has to carry it alone or keep a ledger of who paid what.

Each person buys their own credit. When the work is scheduled, tell us the codes and we apply them all to the same invoice. If the job runs smaller than expected, the unused balance stays on the credit — see below.

What if the cleanup happens in stages?

Large jobs often do — clear-out first, then deep cleaning, then odor work weeks later. Credits redeem partially, so a $5,000 credit with $2,000 used on the first phase keeps the remaining $3,000 on the balance for whatever comes next. You can check what’s left any time on the balance checker.

The honest fine print

  • Credits are redeemable for our cleanup services, nationwide, wherever we operate.
  • They carry no cash value and aren’t refundable for cash — they’re prepaid service, not a stored-value card.
  • Partial redemption works. Unused balance stays on the code.
  • Purchases are processed through our secure checkout. We don’t store your card details.
  • The full terms are on the Terms and Conditions page. Read the prepaid-credit section before you buy.

If a credit isn’t the right tool

Sometimes the money isn’t the obstacle at all — the person isn’t ready, and buying them a cleanup won’t change that. If that’s where you are, the more useful page is hoarding counseling referral, and the more useful first step is a conversation rather than a purchase.

And if the cost of the work is the real problem, look at financing and at whether insurance or a Medicaid waiver should be paying for some of this instead.
