Have you thought about calling area churches or organizations.... they often have "yard sales" to benefit those in need. Many of these places will even pick the stuff up from your house.

I once donated a few things to an organization that was helping juvenile diabetes.... and I donate clothes every couple months to an organization. I give to the Goodwill too-- I just ignore the workers that unload the stuff-- they are just that-- workers unloading stuff and are probably having soar back problems.

but it the way for you to get some peace from it all is tossing it-- then I say-- toss it.......

I think maybe connecting with people that have "survived" , as you say, woudl be more rewarding and less cluttering than connecting with things that have survived.(IMO)

best to you
