My next-door is a sweet little Vietnamese named Le. Often I save myself a trip to Goodwill by showing her items that I'm decluttering and asking if she wants them. She will usually take them, asserting that someone in her large extended family will be able to use them.
However, after a visit to her house to help her hook up the TV I gave her, I'm starting to wonder if I'm enabling a hoarder. Her house is packed. It's dark and claustrophobic. True, the stuff is orderly and dusted, there's no garbage, and there are open spaces. No goat trails. Also, she's sharing her 700 square foot condo (same size as mine) with a husband and a disabled, retarded daughter.
Should I be giving her more STUFF, or should I take it to the Goodwill?
