Case Study

A Fresh Start for a Toronto Dad

David, a single father living in Toronto, had reached a breaking point. After the tragic passing of his wife, he was left to raise his two young boys on his own. The emotional weight of grief, combined with a full-time job and caring for Russ and Sam, led to depression and a growing struggle to manage his home.

Over time, the family’s cozy, low-rise apartment in East York, once a warm and loving home, had become a shell of what it once was. Old toys and children’s clothes were piled up in the living room, while stacks of unopened mail and documents from his wife’s passing cluttered the kitchen table. Sentimental items like family photos and his wife’s belongings remained untouched, “constant reminders of the life we had before,” David explains. “It was a mix of everyday mess and memories that made it so hard to move forward.”

This was a tricky situation for the WeMoveIt.com team.

We knew we had to approach David’s situation with the same respect and compassion we bring to every job, but there’s always a little more weight when kids are involved. After meeting with him and having a look around, we worked together to set clear goals. Our focus was on saving items that would one day help his children remember their mother, like family photos, her handwritten notes, and trinkets from their family vacations.

At the same time, we helped David part with things that no longer served him or his future. David was embarrassed by the state of his home and confided that he often felt like a bad father for letting things get out of hand. We worked at his pace, and he was involved in every decision. Together, we organized donations of gently used items, and throughout the process, we made sure his privacy and dignity were always respected.

By the end of the cleanup, David felt a renewed sense of control and pride in his home, knowing he could provide a safe, comfortable space for his growing boys.

David shared how much lighter he felt—both physically and emotionally—after the process. For the first time in a long time, he felt in control of his space and his life. Now he could focus on what mattered most: creating a healthy, positive environment for his kids.

“These folks helped me reclaim my life,” David said. “The kindness and understanding they showed for me and my boys gave me the strength to move forward.”

Michelle T.

Due to being on disability and not working, keeping up with cleaning became next to impossible, and my apartment got to a point where I didn’t even know where to start. I felt embarrassed and ashamed to even call someone. The WeMoveIt team came in, and they didn’t judge me—they listened. They helped me sort through things at my own pace, and made sure I kept what was important while clearing out what I didn’t need. Thanks to them, my home feels livable again, and I feel more in control of my space. This would have never happened if I was left on my own – Scarborough

Dorothy S.

As a senior living on my own it became harder to manage my house and the clutter built up over time. We are talking about 50+ years. My kids, God bless them, were worried, but I just didn’t have the energy to take it on. This group of angels were a godsend. They treated me with such respect, helping me decide what to keep and how to clear out the things I no longer needed. They made my house feel like home again, safe and comfortable. Truly, they were heaven-sent – Etobicoke
