苗子社區轉化 · 衣服清理工作
一個被忽視的偏鄉問題
很多人會捐衣服給偏鄉家庭，但我們進入這些家庭後才發現：問題不是沒有衣服，而是衣服太多卻沒人整理。
我們探訪的好幾個家庭，整個房間都被衣服淹沒，長期堆在地上，累積厚厚的灰塵，甚至還有動物糞便在上面。孩子就在這樣的環境中生活。
這不是個案，而是普遍現象。
從家訪到行動
📷 圖1：家庭訪談我們在先前的家訪中，和蔡爸深入談話，了解這個單親家庭的狀況和需要。爸爸一個人帶著孩子，生活已經很辛苦，實在沒有時間和能力整理堆積如山的衣物。
📷 圖2：看見真實的困境整個房間被衣服淹沒——這就是我們要面對的挑戰。這不只是環境問題，更影響孩子的健康和學習。
爸爸的參與，是關鍵
經過家訪了解後，我們決定幫助蔡爸的家庭。但這不只是幫他們清理，更重要的是：我們要教會爸爸如何維持。
感謝主！蔡爸願意帶著孩子一起參與整個過程。
清理行動日
📷 圖3：一起到洗衣店這次洗衣工程難度很高。 衣服量太過龐大，家裡的洗衣機、烘衣機根本不夠用，只能將洗衣分成三批進行。趁著洗衣空檔，同工們也將工具間打掃乾淨。
烘衣服更是大挑戰！ 由於量實在太大，一開始烘了很久都沒有乾。我們只好緊急調整策略，請蔡爸重新檢視衣服——有些嬰兒包屁衣、兒童小洋裝早已穿不下，還有一些破損的褲子。爸爸很念舊，在大家溫柔勸說下，終於淘汰了一大袋不再適用的衣物。
📷 圖4：趕工整理，鄰居也來幫忙剩下的衣服緊急全部拿出來重新分類，趕在志工12:00離開前順利進入折衣服環節。大家一起分工合作：
• 分類大人、小孩的衣服
• 區分夏季、冬季
• 折好並分袋收納
最棒的是：鄰居也主動來幫忙！我們也教爸爸快速折衣服的方法，期許未來能幫助他自己維持。
同工的汗水，家庭的轉機
這一天的工作，從早上到中午，同工們：
• 三批洗衣，來回奔波
• 遇到烘衣困難，立刻調整策略
• 幫忙打掃工具間
• 溫柔勸說爸爸斷捨離
• 趕時間分類、折疊、收納
• 手把手教導整理方法
這不只是體力活，更是用愛陪伴單親爸爸和孩子的過程。
改變正在發生
這不只是清理衣服，更是：
• 孩子有了乾淨健康的環境
• 單親爸爸學會帶孩子一起整理
• 家庭開始建立生活秩序
• 鄰居關係更緊密了
這是家庭修復的起點。
謝謝你們的支持
或許清理衣服看起來微不足道，但對這個單親家庭來說，這是重新開始的勇氣。
每一次的家訪、每一批的洗衣、每一件衣服的折疊，都是同工們用汗水和愛心陪伴的印記。
謝謝你們的奉獻，讓我們能繼續陪伴這些家庭！

Seedling Community Transformation · Clothing Organization Project
An Overlooked Rural Problem
Many people donate clothes to rural families, but after entering these homes, we discovered: The problem isn’t a lack of clothes, but too many clothes with no one to organize them.
In several families we visited, entire rooms were buried under mountains of clothing, left on the floor for so long that they accumulated thick layers of dust and even animal f***s. Children live in these conditions.
This is not an isolated case—it’s a widespread phenomenon.
From Home Visit to Action
📷 Photo 1: Family InterviewDuring a previous home visit, we had an in-depth conversation with Mr. Tsai to understand this single-parent family’s situation and needs. As a father raising his children alone, life is already difficult—he simply doesn’t have the time or capacity to organize mountains of accumulated clothing.
📷 Photo 2: Seeing the Real ChallengeThe entire room buried under clothes—this is the challenge we face. This isn’t just an environmental issue; it affects the children’s health and learning.
The Father’s Participation Is Key
After the home visit, we decided to help Mr. Tsai’s family. But this isn’t just about cleaning for them—more importantly: We need to teach the father how to maintain it.
Thank the Lord! Mr. Tsai was willing to participate in the entire process with his children.
Action Day
📷 Photo 3: To the Laundromat TogetherThis laundry project was extremely challenging. The volume of clothes was so massive that the home washing machine and dryer were completely inadequate—we had to divide the laundry into three batches. While waiting for the laundry, our team also cleaned the utility room.
Drying was an even bigger challenge! Because the volume was so large, it took forever to dry at first. We had to make emergency adjustments and ask Mr. Tsai to review the clothes—baby onesies, children’s dresses that no longer fit, and damaged pants. The father is very sentimental, but with gentle persuasion from everyone, he finally discarded a large bag of unusable items.
📷 Photo 4: Racing Against Time, Neighbors Helping TooThe remaining clothes were urgently pulled out and re-sorted. Racing to finish before volunteers had to leave at 12:00 noon, we successfully moved into the folding phase. Everyone worked together:
• Sorting adults’ and children’s clothes
• Separating summer and winter items
• Folding and bagging everything
The best part: Neighbors came to help too! We also taught the father quick folding methods, hoping to help him maintain this in the future.
Team’s Dedication, Family’s Turning Point
From morning to noon, our team:
• Three batches of laundry, running back and forth
• Encountered drying difficulties, immediately adjusted strategy
• Helped clean the utility room
• Gently persuaded the father to declutter
• Raced against time to sort, fold, and organize
• Taught organizing methods hands-on
This wasn’t just physical labor—it was a process of accompanying a single father and his children with love.
Change Is Happening
This is more than just cleaning clothes:
• Children now have a clean, healthy environment
• A single father learned to organize with his children
• The family is establishing order in their lives
• Neighbor relationships have grown stronger
This is the beginning of family restoration.
Thank You for Your Support
Cleaning clothes may seem insignificant, but for this single-parent family, it’s the courage to start anew.
Every home visit, every batch of laundry, every folded garment—these are marks of our team’s dedication through sweat and love.
Thank you for your donations, enabling us to continue accompanying these families!
