For 15 years, this elderly Toa Payoh resident could not get to the toilet in her unit because it was overflowing with rubbish.

The resident, known only as Madam J, lives alone in her flat, according to Petir.sg.
Cai explained that there are 17 rental blocks in Toa Payoh that receive aid from outreach programmes.
“One of the residents that we met is journeying with us through a season of decluttering of her home,” Cai said.
