Jasmine has a heart of gold. She has reached out to her fellow passengers in life that have gone astray and from her own struggles with a similar situation, and is providing much needed help and support to others that may be ignored by society as a whole.

When Olive came across her "bottom drawer" it was so touching. How much the war cost her. She's an overcomer. Bless.

[sophirichmanfletcher]

I love Jasmine's heart and compassion for those who struggle like her own mother.

[alicejackson]

People who support and help hoarders are truly wonderful.

Watching Vicky makes me so sad, she's severely depressed and her poor daughter. I hope they can get through it together. Olive is a total star, what a lovely lady.

[Metonymy]

My grandma was exactly like Olive. Feisty, smart and stubborn. A hoarder until the day she died.

[camrenwick]

Vicky is an angel. I wish her all the best. Olive is a real character and so fit for her age. I wish her well.

[gretathegarbo]

Beautiful, compassionate portrayal of an often stigmatised condition. There is hope!

[lauraburdett]

I have lived under the mountain of my father's hoard all my life. I have to admit I have no compassion for hoarders. I realize it is a metal issue but after a life of being less valuable than the piles of "treasures" I just don't have the patience for it.

[cleot]

It is truly huge for a hoarder to let go of anything! I appreciate the respect that is given to these ladies that allows them to make their own decisions.

[itsacarolbthing]

It strikes me how deeply depressed Janet is. Its so sad.
And as for Olive, the grief that she's lived with is unimaginable.

[SkromnitsaKrasotka]

It touched my heart that Olive loves animals and supports local pet shelter, I cried. I looove animals and her love for the cat she cares for is amazing.

[CM-vscj]

I hope Vicky is leading a happy clutter free life and I hope she has found unconditional love and happiness and a sense of calmness. I hope the burden of being the parent has been lifted from her! An amazing girl playing a role she never ever should have had to. It was never her responsibility x

[bearbear]

I lived with a hoarder. They really do have a sickness. To be 87 is such a travesty to live in such conditions. I’m alone and have no one so I couldn’t live like this in the slightest. I have the opposite condition of a hoarder. I throw everything (and I mean everything) away. I have nothing, the pandemic drove me clinically insane. Such a sweet woman. 😭

[khopev]

Janet's daugher, Vicky, is so kind to her.

[flivy]

Update: Olive was moved out of her home and then sadly passed away in 2018 at the age of 93. However there is nothing on Vicky and Janet.

[lizzy.c.t]

Bless... watching Janet happy and smiling when seeing Vicki sing was soooo lovely because she seems extremely depressed.. I hope there relationship continues to improve

[dianaclay]

The mom appears as severely depressed. If she is in depression meds they r not working. Mom needs to get professional help and better depression meds. Prayers she can get the help needed to move forward with her life!

[susanjensen]

I really love these series. I was never one to judge, but I have got a whole new insight into why people are hoarding. The series is so positive. And the people in it so sweet. Such patience. Him reading that letter to her. ❤ Lots of love to Olive and Toby

Jasmine is such a sweet girl. The way she talks to and about the old lady. Beautiful!
