Please!! Helping my mother with Hoarding?

Plan an intervention. Don’t try to confront your mother alone. Call on other concerned friends and/or family members to get together at a specific time. However, just as other interventions (such confronting drug addiction, alcoholism, anorexia, etc.) you’ll probably need to surprise the hoarder (your mother), not letting him (or her) suspect the meeting is about her problem. For example, plan to have the people participating in the intervention meet at a certain time at your mom's house. Knock on the door and gently tell her you’re there to help her. Then let each person take turns, expressing their concerns. If your mom agrees that she has mental illness and need help, get a team together and clean her house, throw all that junk out. Make sure she knows what's been thrown out. Above all, make sure she seeks professional help! Have a great day!
