For most of us, our houses are our sanctuary. When work, family members, or friends are stressing us out, we can retreat to the comfort of our own homes – which are designed with only our lifestyles and routines in mind.
So, what happens when somebody with a completely different way of life wants to stay with you, threatening to upend your peaceful household?
This 32-year-old woman is grappling with that very same question right now. She currently lives in a small and tidy house – which she’s worked hard to maintain and make her own.
On the other hand, her younger 29-year-old brother Tim is the opposite. According to her, he’s actually a hoarder.
“His house was filled with junk and always a mess,” she detailed.
However, just last month, his house tragically burned down in a fire, and her brother lost absolutely everything.
Thankfully, her brother made it out okay. He’s also engaged to a 28-year-old woman named Lisa, and his fiancé was alright, too.
Still, after the fire, they were obviously left without a place to live. So, Tim turned to her for help.
He gave her a call and asked if both he and his fiancée could temporarily move in with her.
