We had four options
1) We (Tad and I) could physically help her: pro's we would have a little control over the situation and could get the process going. Con - we have asked her for the pass 2 years if we could help and she never has let us.
2) She could hire someone: pro - the move out date would be a lot sooner. con- the cost was extremely high.
3) We could just give up and find another house. Pro - we would not have to waste anymore time on something that might not ever happen. Con - we really really really want this location and nothing will compare to it.
4) Call Hoarding Buried Alive. Pro - get free help and soon. Con - Bettie will have to expose her life to the whole world and we have to convince her to do so.
After much thought we decided on number.... 4!! Yes we were desperate and so we did it.
Tad called Hoarding: Buried Alive and after many conversations over the phone and emails, the show said they would help us! We couldn't believe it. That was an extreme blessing.
Now we needed to convince Bettie.
We called her and had her meet us. We talked about all the different options and with much convincing by smooth talker Tad, Bettie decided that she would think about the show option.
The next day she was on board! Hoarding: Buried Alive was coming to town and soon. We had only about 3 weeks of waiting until they showed up and started filming "the process". Our prayers were being answered, Bettie was going to be getting huge help.
