Or, the over-the-toilet seat-elevates the patient over the toilet and has the bars on both sides he can use to lift himself up (I am still using mine post shoulder replacement surgery).
Agreed even a shower seat and updating the top shower faucet into a hose faucet. Also if it's okayed by his doctor some compression socks and sock assists.
A lot of times, if you can get the doctors or social workers at the hospital to order one for him, they charge it to the insurance rather to have him pay out of pocket. If he is having a visiting nurse... She or he can order it for the gentleman too.
A shower chair, if he doesn’t already have one (the kind that fits over the side of the tub), a hand-held shower head and a bathmat (one of the charcoal or bamboo types that allow for quick drying after stepping out of the shower). Being able to bathe safely is very important to those who are disabled (I speak from experience).
Dang it! I forgot about the adjustable shower head! Good idea! (CNA here... Yup, people just don't know how much help is needed with just HYGIENE until they can't do it for themselves 🤦.)
This is the kind of religion I believe in. Not the preachy, verbal, often an excuse for judgement kind, but acts of love and service. It's one of the most important things you can do in life.
You're cleaning his home for free, and you bought him new sheets for his bed and a lazy boy recliner out of your pocket? Wow. Just wow. You're a fairy 🧚🏻♀️ God mother! You're a kind soul. Blessed and blesses others!
When I heard that, I broke down into tears. I am disabled, and am so very grateful when shown kindness and compassion by others. Simply opening/holding a door open for me means the world to me. I realize there are those disabled individuals who might be offended by such acts, but for the rest of us who struggle with the simplest tasks, they mean so much
You angel. People seem to forget the older they get the harder it is to do things. Heart goes to you for being kind and caring enough to help those who cant help themselves.
As a disabled person I bloody love you, girl. Seeing you help older people, people with mental illnesses and disabilities, etc. Just… thank you, for helping us when we can’t help ourselves anymore. ❤️
One thing a bouquet of roses from all of us on the internet wishing him a lovely speedy recovery and all the best wishes one to get! Or maybe a print out of all the people wishing him well wishes from the internet. So he can see all the love for him.
anything that might buffer edges that he could bump against, like the sunk or table-corners, grip-mat for bath and getting out, and most of all, staying linked in with him, even a "hello, how you getting on." txt. you're an AMAZING person, thank you for just being you x.
Extra long shoe horn! My dad loved his. He didn't have to bend over or ask anyone for help putting shoes on. It sounds like a small thing but dignity is important.
I'm so happy that you were able to help him and that he'll have help after he gets home. I feel so invested in his story, and always check your channel for updates. He's everyones grandpa at this point 😭🖤
@@vivianholliday4338 the government isn't sending people in to clean for you and any assistance he may get certainly wouldn't be enough to pay someone to clean it. What fantasy world do you live in where the government actually helps people in that way
You should get a link for donations. I know all of these people are so grateful that you’re doing this all for free, but I personally would love to donate to you for cleaning supplies etc. because that stuff adds up and what you do is amazing!
I don't know what kind of surgery he's having but having dressing sticks and sock and shoe aides has been a lifesaver. I'm only 36 but a back injury and those aides have saved my marriage. I wish I had had them when I was pregnant. So nice to be able to put or take off my socks and shoes without any help from others.
So happy you were able to help! It’s heartbreaking that services aren’t available if you hadn’t cleaned. The best recovery is home where you are comfortable and with your blessing it’s safe and clean!
These disposable bed pads (have no clue how they are called) are great post surgery, to put on bed. Makes sure the sheets stay dry and clean, especially if someone is living alone and it might be difficult to change the sheets right away
You really care and that's for sure, in how you subject yourself to these filthy homes. You are one in a million. I wish I had family that cared that for us. I've never felt so useless in my life. My health is going down hill, I can hardly keep up with everyday things in my house. God bless you for all your kindness and hard work.❤🙏💯
I hope you can get the help you need somehow, Phyllis. I understand where you’re coming from (though I wish I didn’t). I am wheelchair/walker bound, so, am very, very limited in what I can do around my house. I dust, wipe down counters and fridge shelves-whatever I can reach. I need a cleaning crew in my home, but my husband keeps telling me we cannot afford it. I would try harder to reach and/or stand, but have been told I will be ok…unless I do something stupid, like fall. Praying you receive the help you need, and that your health will turn around soon. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@nurugizani3075 Just my middle sister (two cities away), but she just had screws put into her right foot three days ago (she’s never been inside my house and we’ve lived here for two and a half years). Our elderly mother lives with her (there’s barely enough space for us in this small house, let alone have my Mom come live with us). Our 21 year old son is living with us (a Marine reservist), but he is not helpful around the house at all and doesn’t respect me. I’ve asked my husband to talk to him, but it has done no good. I hate to paint such a gloomy picture; I am grateful for what we have, and so many have it so much worse than we do. As I have grown older, I have come to realize how important my health is to me and how my surroundings contribute to my state of mind. I thank you for your kindness and concern, Nuru. 🌹
I myself have a hard time cleaning due to mental health issues, so seeing peoppe who have it a lot worse makes it easier for me to clean. I feel so horrible for all these people, they dont deserve these issues
you inspire me. i do the same thing for my dad, who struggles with alcoholism, on a regular basis. it’s nice to see others helping those who cannot help themselves
Well depending on the surgery and how good or bad his motor skills are pre surgery, but if it effects his motor skills I suggest getting him a roomba or another automatic hoover since it may help him not have to go through with the hoover as much also easy grips (they are like handles but rubber) for the baths and toilets and also there is a product that helps elderly people with less motor skills i belive it’s called an easy wipe but I’m not sure it’s a long stick that’s able to be used as a way for them to shower or clean themselves without harm hope this helps 👍
Can you give us a walk-through of the whole house once it's done? Then we can get a look at what he has and what he needs. An over the toilet commode, which should be insurance eligible, looks like a definite.
After I turned 50.....I started realizing that the elder community is absolutely screwed and a complete afterthought in our society. As decent human beings....we need to start checking in on them. Thank you for cleaning his home!!!
I just want to sau thank you! I have had 6 back surgeries and if it wasn't for people helping me I couldn't have done it! As many times I couldn't move! So thank you for what you do for people! And scrub daddy is the BEST that is all I use now!! Lol
You are such a kind and loving understandable person ❤️ I can only imagine the stories you must hear from these people. It’s gotta be heartbreaking. I am so glad they have you 2 help them in their time of need.
Two things that helped me so much after having surgeries which made it difficult to bend down to pick things up off the ground are: a grabber tool so you don't have to bend down to pick most things up and trash cans in every room, two in some rooms. Both made my life much easier.
There's an online service called Meal Train. When i was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, & was coming home from MAJOR surgery & starting treatment, people brought meals to my home & left them in a cooler by the front door. I mean STRANGERS!! t was SO incredibly helpful! My family had something to eat because they were angels & were too busy caring for me to try to figure out meals. It SERIOUSLY restored my faith in humanity ❤❤
He needs a home health aide through the Medicaid Home Health Care Waiver Program. It’s free. It’s changed my life. I like to have a stool to use in the kitchen. Also, a grab bar or two for the bath/shower area. Thank you so much for doing this. I’ve cleaned for people for free due to mental and physical health disabilities. We need so much more of this ❤
I am disabled; one of the things that has helped me as my symptoms have become more severe is sponge bathing on days I don't have the energy to shower or take a bath. I use Dr. Bronner's castile liquid soap deluded in water, there are instructions on how much to delude it and how to use it on the website. I'm not sure if this method would be more manageable for him or not, but I thought I would suggest it in case. I am so glad you are helping him. 😊
I understand where you are coming from. I was unaware of using Dr. Bronner’s by diluting it for sponge bathing (what I have to do every day). I will look that up. Thank you!
Another option for post op hygiene is disposable rinse-free shampoo caps and bath wipes. Medline is a brand I’m familiar with, but Walgreens has a generic kind too in the aisle with the mobility aids, compression socks, etc. The shampoo caps can be microwaved prior to using to make it more soothing too! The shampoo caps are great for special circumstances like post op or really bad days, it’s nice to have on hand if you are unable to bathe or get somebody to wash your hair. The bath wipes are way better than baby wipes bc they’re thicker, wetter, bigger, and better at doing a proper cleansing than just the standard baby wipe. Definitely a great thing to keep on hand.
YOU'RE the sweetest and deserve SO much! Giving of your time and effort is more valuable than money sometimes, and you give so much! You are just an awesome person.❤
As an autistic and severely physically disabled person who of not for my country and families care could easily end up like this, thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart it means so much that there are people like you in the world who can look at a situation like this and say "they need help so I'll help them" instead of "how could they let this happen?" It genuinely means everything to me.
His surgery went well then?? That’s wonderful. It appears he has a whole new internet family now. And thank u from my heart. I’m weak and can only do things in small portions. I got a scrub daddy and started cleaning. One small section at a time and I already feel better. Ur videos show that all u need to do (if u can) is start. So I did. Thank u so very much.
Thank you so very much for helping a person who is in great need of your help. I have been trying to find someone who would be able to help my husband and me out a couple of days a week to clean, grocery shop, laundry and change bedsheets. I am disabled and so is my husband. We are willing to pay for services preformed. We can not pay a lot of money but we can pay some. And again, you are angel sent from God. You have a huge heart and others can see this in you. May God Bless you and keep you and may His light shine down upon you always. May you always be held in the Arms of God and know God’s love every step you take. ❤🙏 ❤️
This is a super weird suggestion… but a rolling chair for the kitchen. HUGE help if he’s not using a walker but has trouble standing to cook or do dishes. Improves my independence a lot having a chair. A rolling chair is much easier to move
The biggest thing is to make it easy for him to put things away while still having ready access to community used items. Trash cans next to all the areas he spends the most time are important to help him throw stuff away in one area, esp after surgery. Switching to all cotton sheets will make it easier to get them fully cleaned, even if he has any accidents (food, bodily fluids, etc.). Having hospital pads on his chairs or even a cotton towel are a great way to keep his chairs cleaner. They can then be tossed into the wash every now and then or as needed. I wish my in-laws had an angel like you to get their home thoroughly cleaned and organized. P
Thank you so much for doing this. Our elderly are often forgotten or overlooked. And most people don't understand or realize how little income they have or the cost of medicine and medical care. (My parents are in that place now and it's infuriating). So thank you again. We need to value, respect and take care of them, they have so much to teach us
You should get him one of those special pillows that allows him to sleep on his side, stomach or back comfortably and a voice activated thing like Alexa, so he doesn’t have to go get up to turn the lights off and stumble over things. He can just ask Alexa to turn them off for him.❤
Older people are always looking for any sort of item they can put on the shower floor so it's not a slip and slide situation. Grab bars you can mount you can find cheap sometimes at the hardware store, usually in with plumbing fixtures or even sometimes if you go to pharmacies if they have a disability aids section.
As former care staff; incontinence items such as fabric pad for the bed and chairs, as well as depends may be helpful to just have around for him. Simple foods and drinks that can keep him hydrated and fed - if the cargivers arent allowed to shop for him that could help him a bit. House shoes that have backs, and are grippy enough to not slide around. Depening on the type of socks he wears, there are devices that help put those on. Also Jobst Stockings, if he has an order for pressure socks those things are a must. (About 10 to 20 a pair, usually only 2 are needed) Lotion, it will help reduce the skin flakes and reduce potential for sores. Possibly pillows or cushions for the chair so he can shift his weight and not get bed sores. Also pretty cheap. A TV tray or something for his chair so he can eat there. Life alert if possible. None of these are necessities, but could help him if he doesnt have them. Is there a Go fund me him yet?
A raised toilet seat is something very simple but it helps older folks out so much, especially after heart or ortho surgeries. Also making sure there are no slip or trip hazards like rugs or mats without rubber undersides is huge. Grips in the show/bathroom are good too but i dont know if that is within your ability to get organized on short notice.
You are just amazing. There isn't a lot of people who understand neurodivergent people. I'm always crying like a baby watching your shorts! Thank you for all you do for these people!
Body scrubber w/handle for bathing himself in hard to reach areas. I think they make similar for potty wiping too, not sure. But self hygiene care is so crucial for dignity and it's physically not easy for some seniors. I really want to see how this man is getting along post op. Best to him!!
I want to be like you when I grow up. I’ve always struggled with cleaning my own room let alone my shared home, and everyone who lives here (me, my mom, my brother) have ADHD that strikes us with no motivation and mental strength to clean it. We’ve been trying, and we’re getting there, and I could only dream of helping others who have the same and/or related problems with cleaning.
IDK what type of surgery he is having but for my post surgeries I needed a potty chair, walker or cane, wheelchair, shower chair, something very easy to reach into for my meds, a valet box actually worked wonders for me, sleep mask, tons of wipes and Kleenex and puppy training pads to put onto my recliner in my sofa due to having to constantly moisturize my giant skin graft on my thigh and it leaked also and because I'd start peeing before my husband could get me up and walk to the potty chair in time due to having catheters for days. That's so generous of you to do these wonderful things you do! You're a sweet 😇 for so many folks in need, thank you for helping when so many won't!
Thank you for changing my perception of dirty spaces. I went to view a place a few days ago and it was really dirty. I was more compassionate about what the couple who live there might be going through. You are a beautiful human for helping so many people!
does he have a bathing stool and handheld showerhead? my dad's been having health problems and we already had a bathing stool for him, but the handheld showerhead is a game changer
It’s just so amazing how you don’t charge for crazy cleaning like this !.also because he is a old gentleman he will most definitely need help cleaning his house like this love the kindness keep it coming!
I love this side of the internet ❤. Humans are good. It's so easy to get caught up in the bad things but look at ALL of us here loving this, wanting to do the same thing in our area, there's so much goodness in this world ❤
God Bless you!!! Over and over again! I’m older and know the “fear” the guy would be feeling as you fight to stay in your home. Plus he didn’t have any fight left at the moment. TY for getting him over the hump to hopefully brand new launching pad for freedom to stay into his home ❤
I just wanna say ur amazing and we need more people like you in this world. You are very inspiring and keep up the positive vibes and work you do. Thank you for helping those who can’t help themselves ❤
You’re an amazing angel that God uses to do his works. May God provide for you everything that you need to continue to do the works that you do for others.
Especially since he is elderly, I recommend maybe making sure he has a little shelf or something where he can keep water near where he sits and sleeps. Water intake is so important and it's much easier to remind someone to drink water nearby. Surgery recovery is so hard, especially for the elderly. You are so awesome for being compassionate and helping him.
You are a true angel for doing this for people. I wish there were more people like you. Thank you for sharing your videos and restoring my faith in humanity. 🥰
I’ve loved hearing this older gentleman’s story and how amazing you are for helping him. It might sound silly but getting one of those toy grabbers (maybe they make more sturdy ones for easy accessibility) but getting him one of those would be so helpful since he isn’t able to reach down. Thank you for doing what you do! 😊
You are amazing with what you do for people who desperately need the help. I mean your cleaning skills are top notch, but the fact that you pour so much love into it really shows! ❤
How kind and thoughtful you are! You are an inspiration to all we viewers. Your explaining as you clean is instructive and most welcome. May you receive blessings in abundance for the love you show and the care you provide.
What a wonderful person you are. You have a good heart. It's so endearing to know someone like you is helping the elderly. God will bless you for your good and caring heart. ❤
You go above and beyond. You are an angel helping people. I understand you are making money off of the post but the biggest take for me is you have a big heart.
You are an Angel on Earth. I hope you are influencing others to have empathy and compassion of this magnitude to go out and do this for even just one person (family/friend/neighbor/ someone in need). God bless the work of your hands, and your life with abundance that you so deserve ❤
God bless you for your service to those who need the help. I love how you talk through your video and educate people whether it’s mental illness, elderly, or hoarders that caused the problem within their homes. You are their platform. Much love and prayers goes out to you. ❤❤
If you can, toilet commode/shower bars would be great for post-surgery or the elderly in general

My mom is a rehab doc, she suggests shower bars to grab onto, a grabber, and bed railings.
Also leave one side of the bed without bed railings, so it's easy for him to get in and out
She is another reason why I have some faith in humanity ❤
"He deserves it whether he can afford it or not" we need more of this in the world.

Grabbers are wonderful tools for everyone, but especially for those who can't reach or bend over like they used to.
Remove any throw rugs if he will be up and walking around. They are a fall hazard.

The bath wipes are way better than baby wipes bc they’re thicker, wetter, bigger, and better at doing a proper cleansing than just the standard baby wipe. Definitely a great thing to keep on hand.
YOU'RE the sweetest and deserve SO much! Giving of your time and effort is more valuable than money sometimes, and you give so much! You are just an awesome person.❤
As an autistic and severely physically disabled person who of not for my country and families care could easily end up like this, thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart it means so much that there are people like you in the world who can look at a situation like this and say "they need help so I'll help them" instead of "how could they let this happen?" It genuinely means everything to me.
His surgery went well then?? That’s wonderful. It appears he has a whole new internet family now. And thank u from my heart. I’m weak and can only do things in small portions. I got a scrub daddy and started cleaning. One small section at a time and I already feel better. Ur videos show that all u need to do (if u can) is start. So I did. Thank u so very much.
Thank you so very much for helping a person who is in great need of your help. I have been trying to find someone who would be able to help my husband and me out a couple of days a week to clean, grocery shop, laundry and change bedsheets. I am disabled and so is my husband. We are willing to pay for services preformed. We can not pay a lot of money but we can pay some.
And again, you are angel sent from God. You have a huge heart and others can see this in you. May God Bless you and keep you and may His light shine down upon you always. May you always be held in the Arms of God and know God’s love every step you take. ❤🙏 ❤️
What state do you live in.

I am in awe of the wonderful work you do. You are an Angel sent from God.
This is a super weird suggestion… but a rolling chair for the kitchen. HUGE help if he’s not using a walker but has trouble standing to cook or do dishes. Improves my independence a lot having a chair. A rolling chair is much easier to move
You are absolutely amazing. I'd totally help do something like this for people. (I don't have access to materials myself, but I'd volunteer my time.)
You could probably ask around, churches or if you have a local YMCA or something.
Sometimes you don't have anybody to help and you just need a little help. You are doing something for him that really impacts his life.
The biggest thing is to make it easy for him to put things away while still having ready access to community used items. Trash cans next to all the areas he spends the most time are important to help him throw stuff away in one area, esp after surgery. Switching to all cotton sheets will make it easier to get them fully cleaned, even if he has any accidents (food, bodily fluids, etc.). Having hospital pads on his chairs or even a cotton towel are a great way to keep his chairs cleaner. They can then be tossed into the wash every now and then or as needed.
I wish my in-laws had an angel like you to get their home thoroughly cleaned and organized. P
Thank you so much for doing this. Our elderly are often forgotten or overlooked. And most people don't understand or realize how little income they have or the cost of medicine and medical care. (My parents are in that place now and it's infuriating). So thank you again. We need to value, respect and take care of them, they have so much to teach us
You should get him one of those special pillows that allows him to sleep on his side, stomach or back comfortably and a voice activated thing like Alexa, so he doesn’t have to go get up to turn the lights off and stumble over things. He can just ask Alexa to turn them off for him.❤
Thanks for letting us know he'll have some home health aide when he gets home.🌹🌹🌹🙏🏾
You are an excellent human! Bravo
You are a saint. It makes my eyes well with tears of joy knowing this gentleman is being taken care of
Older people are always looking for any sort of item they can put on the shower floor so it's not a slip and slide situation. Grab bars you can mount you can find cheap sometimes at the hardware store, usually in with plumbing fixtures or even sometimes if you go to pharmacies if they have a disability aids section.
You are a good person . Don't ever Stop being you. That warms my heart ,
You’re the definition of a beautiful soul. The relief and comfort you provide with your hard work is immense.
As former care staff; incontinence items such as fabric pad for the bed and chairs, as well as depends may be helpful to just have around for him.
Simple foods and drinks that can keep him hydrated and fed - if the cargivers arent allowed to shop for him that could help him a bit.
House shoes that have backs, and are grippy enough to not slide around.
Depening on the type of socks he wears, there are devices that help put those on. Also Jobst Stockings, if he has an order for pressure socks those things are a must. (About 10 to 20 a pair, usually only 2 are needed)
Lotion, it will help reduce the skin flakes and reduce potential for sores.
Possibly pillows or cushions for the chair so he can shift his weight and not get bed sores. Also pretty cheap.
A TV tray or something for his chair so he can eat there.
Life alert if possible.
None of these are necessities, but could help him if he doesnt have them. Is there a Go fund me him yet?
if a person a vet. they can get help with home clean that might get up to three and four hours.
A raised toilet seat is something very simple but it helps older folks out so much, especially after heart or ortho surgeries. Also making sure there are no slip or trip hazards like rugs or mats without rubber undersides is huge. Grips in the show/bathroom are good too but i dont know if that is within your ability to get organized on short notice.
You are just amazing. There isn't a lot of people who understand neurodivergent people. I'm always crying like a baby watching your shorts! Thank you for all you do for these people!
The ppl helping him when he gets home will have the best ideas/suggestions bc they will be able to see what he needs. You are truly a God send!!💕👏👍💯
Body scrubber w/handle for bathing himself in hard to reach areas. I think they make similar for potty wiping too, not sure. But self hygiene care is so crucial for dignity and it's physically not easy for some seniors. I really want to see how this man is getting along post op. Best to him!!
You are an angel. Thank you for being so kind.
I want to be like you when I grow up. I’ve always struggled with cleaning my own room let alone my shared home, and everyone who lives here (me, my mom, my brother) have ADHD that strikes us with no motivation and mental strength to clean it. We’ve been trying, and we’re getting there, and I could only dream of helping others who have the same and/or related problems with cleaning.
Wow! I’m in tears and he’s not even my family member. You are so amazing and God bless u for that. Love watching
IDK what type of surgery he is having but for my post surgeries I needed a potty chair, walker or cane, wheelchair, shower chair, something very easy to reach into for my meds, a valet box actually worked wonders for me, sleep mask, tons of wipes and Kleenex and puppy training pads to put onto my recliner in my sofa due to having to constantly moisturize my giant skin graft on my thigh and it leaked also and because I'd start peeing before my husband could get me up and walk to the potty chair in time due to having catheters for days. That's so generous of you to do these wonderful things you do! You're a sweet 😇 for so many folks in need, thank you for helping when so many won't!
You are a God send if only more people just thought like you .
This world would be a better place
Thank you for changing my perception of dirty spaces. I went to view a place a few days ago and it was really dirty. I was more compassionate about what the couple who live there might be going through. You are a beautiful human for helping so many people!
Man, I love how much you are about those who just can't anymore, and I left it at can't intentionally
does he have a bathing stool and handheld showerhead? my dad's been having health problems and we already had a bathing stool for him, but the handheld showerhead is a game changer
It’s just so amazing how you don’t charge for crazy cleaning like this !.also because he is a old gentleman he will most definitely need help cleaning his house like this love the kindness keep it coming!
I love this side of the internet ❤. Humans are good. It's so easy to get caught up in the bad things but look at ALL of us here loving this, wanting to do the same thing in our area, there's so much goodness in this world ❤
God Bless you!!! Over and over again!
I’m older and know the “fear” the guy would be feeling as you fight to stay in your home. Plus he didn’t have any fight left at the moment. TY for getting him over the hump to hopefully brand new launching pad for freedom to stay into his home ❤
I know i am late but my heart also goes out for eldery people in this situation.
I just wanna say ur amazing and we need more people like you in this world. You are very inspiring and keep up the positive vibes and work you do. Thank you for helping those who can’t help themselves ❤
You’re an amazing angel that God uses to do his works. May God provide for you everything that you need to continue to do the works that you do for others.
Especially since he is elderly, I recommend maybe making sure he has a little shelf or something where he can keep water near where he sits and sleeps. Water intake is so important and it's much easier to remind someone to drink water nearby.
Surgery recovery is so hard, especially for the elderly. You are so awesome for being compassionate and helping him.
You are a true angel for doing this for people. I wish there were more people like you. Thank you for sharing your videos and restoring my faith in humanity. 🥰
A trashcan and supply of trash bags for each room would be a great addition to his home.
Wow! I’m so impressed. You have made a huge difference in his life. Thank you for helping those less fortunate! ❤
I’ve loved hearing this older gentleman’s story and how amazing you are for helping him. It might sound silly but getting one of those toy grabbers (maybe they make more sturdy ones for easy accessibility) but getting him one of those would be so helpful since he isn’t able to reach down. Thank you for doing what you do! 😊
God bless you for your empathy towards this man, and people in general. You will be blessed by the MOST HIGH!🙏🏽
You are amazing with what you do for people who desperately need the help. I mean your cleaning skills are top notch, but the fact that you pour so much love into it really shows! ❤
This lady deserves a raise for what she does
How kind and thoughtful you are! You are an inspiration to all we viewers. Your explaining as you clean is instructive and most welcome. May you receive blessings in abundance for the love you show and the care you provide.
What a wonderful person you are.
You have a good heart. It's so endearing to know someone like you is helping the elderly. God will bless you for your good and caring heart. ❤
You are an angel, No one can convince me otherwise, you do so much for people in need
You are such a good person, the only person I have heard of that cares. It's awful when you have no-one.
You go above and beyond. You are an angel helping people. I understand you are making money off of the post but the biggest take for me is you have a big heart.
I literally cried watching this. You are such a beautiful, kind soul. Bless you and thank you. I hope everything went well for this gentleman.
I swear, you are an angel. Bless you, bless you, bless you. 😢 💕
God bless you! What you do for people is life changing. You prove there are still good people on this planet.
You are an Angel on Earth. I hope you are influencing others to have empathy and compassion of this magnitude to go out and do this for even just one person (family/friend/neighbor/ someone in need).
God bless the work of your hands, and your life with abundance that you so deserve ❤
God bless you for your service to those who need the help. I love how you talk through your video and educate people whether it’s mental illness, elderly, or hoarders that caused the problem within their homes. You are their platform. Much love and prayers goes out to you. ❤❤
Why aren't there more sweet hearts like u in our world? I hope u are appreciated big time. 💕💜💕
