Now with the help of the Hoarders team of experts, Margie will have a chance to clean up and create a safe environment. Cleaning expert Matt Paxton delves into the troubles he faced while helping Margie clean her hoard.

Forrest grew up in the projects and would tell his son stories about a pair of shoes he couldn't afford when he was younger. As an adult Forrest became a success in life owning businesses, working hard and becoming a role model for underprivileged teens. Perhaps an appreciation for the finer things in life gave Forrest a drive to acquire an excess of unique items that overtook his home inside and out. Forrest is facing extreme financial pressure from daily fines from the Homeowners Association. Because all the clutter is actually valuable, Forrest and the Hoarders team of experts are pushed to the limit to save Forrest's home, resolve his financial crisis, and make space for Forrest to live.
