  • I'm so excited to share this video with you all. You're about to meet John. He's fallon on some hard times and completely overwhelmed with his yard. I was so thankful to have found him and give him a helping hand. The transformation of his property is AMAZING and so is his reaction! I'm so thankful to be doing this work and helping the community in which I live. Thank you all for the continued support and love - it means so very much!

    Of all the channels I watch on UA-cam, I have to say your yard work is the best combination of all of the transformative content makers because you clean up and remove the things you cut, not just cut things down. The trash removal and then fixing things is the sugar on top. It is sooooo satisfying!

When they have no one to call and help them or are to embarrassed to reach out...the community should be watching to help step in. It's in Jushua....❤ You Sir are amazing ❣ Today you brought me to tears

    This is possibly the best makeover you have done, a lot of work yes, messy, awkward, difficult and so much of it, but what a joy to see the appreciation of the householder John, and kudos to you for tackling it; as I am sure there were many easier jobs to be found instead, should you have wished to. You are certainly a hero within your communities in my humble opinion.

Thank you for giving him the boost he needed to feel better about his home and hopefully give him the boost to get himself back out there. Kudos to the neighbor who stepped up to try to help John maintain the lawn now that you have it cleared. Sounds like he had health issues of his own but was still willing to give what he could. Thanks for doing this for John. You were right where you needed to be.
