### Description:
Sheldon is a working single parent who resides with his three children in a rental home that also houses additional roommates in a basement suite. Being a working parent and trying to stay on top of maintaining a living space with three children can be a struggle, and Sheldon often doesn’t have time to keep his home as organized as he would like. He finds himself constantly battling to sustainably dispose of toys, clothing, and household wares that his children continually outgrow. Additionally, his tight income makes finding affordable replacements for these items a priority. Sheldon would love to encourage his kids to reuse, reduce, and recycle, but this desire often takes a back seat to temporal and financial realities.
