Often happeing through unfortunate events such as evictions, financial hardships, or cosmetic problems in the house all forcing m family of 8 to relocate in the spir of the moment, not knowing where we would end up next or how. Because of this we were not able to hold on to many belongings and had to get rid of a lot and keep what was necessary for our next location. Only keeping pictures, random paperwork, art projects, notebooks, and MANY other miscellaneous items my mom saw as valuable.
