    Sean is not dense. He knows Curtis had an ulterior motive when he offered to “help”. I get that Curtis is down on his luck, but he still took advantage of Sean’s kindness, and I have to say that kind of has me steamed. That was not 40 dollars worth of work. He could have stuck around and done a little lifting, but nope, just pulling that rake in his half assed effort was his limit. Sean knows this, it was evident in how short he was with Curtis after emptying his wallet for him. Sean wants to keep a positive vibe while spreading kindness. I respect that, but I feel it needs to be said, being a vet doesn’t automatically translate into “honest person” with good intentions. Vets come from all walks of life and some are not nice people. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Curtis is a bad person. I do think he took advantage of Sean’s kindness and he didn’t really care about the yard or making his community look nicer. Now remember that guy from a few videos ago who helped Sean load some heavy bricks and refused any payment? That is the difference. Again, Curtis was clearly down on his luck and Sean’s payment was charity, nothing more. It just steams me that the person getting the charity had the gall to keep asking for more. That just felt insincere and wrong. I believe that Sean knows all this and he simply choose to be charitable about it. I just wanted to get it off my chest.

      How exactly was it a shakedown? Sean is a grown adult, he appears to mostly know how to use power tools so I assume he's capable of thinking on his own. He didn't have to give the guy any money, he chose to. He wasn't tricked, he chose kindness over admonishment. Sometimes people like Curtis are just one or two kind acts away from starting to do the right thing. You see this initial attitude a lot doing mission/outreach work, if the locals think you're just going to be in and out they will try to milk you. But if you keep coming back they begin to understand you are there to help and the grifting stops pretty quickly.

As I posted elsewhere, Sean can take care of himself. We should just praise him and not judge him.
      I have noticed on other utube posts where people are helping in some way or other, they get criticized when they reach out to some unfortunate person. I am at the point where I feel like not reading people’s comments. So sad. Again thank you for your comments.

Heroes don’t brag about being heroes, they just do the work no one else can. I hope Curtis learns humility, honesty, and respect.

    Please talk to your local Habitat for Humanity. There are a lot of reasons why each habitat has several committees, at least one which helps the family acclimate to owning and living in their own home. It's not as simple as you would suspect. There is much more of a holistic need. Remember, whatever problems and family dynamics led to their current situation, they will be bringing into that house with a great deal, more responsibilities. I'm sure you could learn a lot from Habitat's many years of experience.

The process of becoming an owner of a Habitat For Humanity house owner is long and involved. Classes in basic money management, a certain number of hours building other's homes, etc. Everything required is to help the new owners succeed.

    Funny story: Whenever i see you do your speeded-up bits it makes me think about when the Pandemic was on her in Spain our Yoga teacher was sending us all a class online. She speeded it up so we could slow it down to do the class at home. There is one elderly sweet lady who didn't know about this slowing down business . . . well she pulled a muscle in her calf and done her back in trying to keep up with the original download. A few of us lied and said we made the same mistake to make her feel better lolllllll Great video, thank you. . i wouldn't have been as generous or patient with Curtis though, you are a good bloke x

    I’m thrilled to find your UA-cam channel. I have been watching YOU for months on Facebook channels. Many people post your videos as their own, but until today you never mentioned the name of your channel (or they deleted it), so when you mentioned it in this video, I raced right over here. Thanks for doing this.

    Thanks for helping the community. Yea that guy hustled you but you showed him kindness which not to many people do. He will be talking about you for a long time. God helped everyone regardless of who they were and that’s how we should all be. Thank you for showing that example. Thanks again Sean

    I love how you don't judge an abandoned property by the way it looks now, but what it's potential is. What it COULD be.❤
    I bought (and eventually sold for a bigger space) several homes that others stuck their noses up over. With a little love and elbow grease they turned out to be our wonderful homes over the years.
    You treat everyone with kindness and respect, even if they turn out to not deserve your respect. Even then you let them just be who they are...with no harsh words.
    I am excited to see what this property MAY bring to you, a family and the community

    I hope you can purchase this home to give a family-in-need a home. I also feel for poor Curtis. I feel like he took advantage of you, but I do understand his position. My elderly parents are both on social security and that money literally goes nowhere nowadays. Bills and groceries are simply too much. Really hope that things improve for Curtis. Thank you for being so kind to him, Sean.

      I am newly retired and have had to learn new ways to do things. If they have cable tv, get rid of it. Get an appropriate antenna for local stations, and a Roku. My son is a cable / Internet tech and he can't believe the elderly people that have cable boxes in five rooms and only 1-2 TV's. They are paying monthly on every box they have. Don't get ZUMO. Bad product compared to Roku. Roku has no monthly charge and does not require a smart tv.
