When Hoarding Goes Way Too Far: The Story Of Trust Fund Hoarder Kevin McCrary

His Collecting Intensified Amidst The Sept. 11 Terrorist Attacks

When the terrorist attacks on September 11th brought down the World Trade Center, it was a trying and emotional time for all New Yorkers. As a born and bred New Yorker, McCrary felt particularly affected and volunteered at ground zero, collecting food and running aid stations for rescue workers. He also started documenting his time by saving things from the clean-up efforts and taking photos. He kept a piece of the ill-fated building so he would never forget. These pieces rest in a grave of absolute trash that’s stacked so high McCrary can barely walk inside of his apartment.
