Thank you for not "hiding" the mental health conversation that you had between yourself and the homeowner (because you didn't have to include it). You have NO idea how many people you have helped just by leaving this part in. We NEED to normalize conversations about mental health and the impacts that it can have on a person's life. That way, others will see it and know that not only are they not alone, but that they are "normal." Thank you for also being open about your own mental health journey. You truly are an inspiration!!
You will probably not ever know the number of people you have blessed with your transparency regarding the anxiety you experienced. Thank you and Jesus' blessings of complete wholeness, renewal, and healing.
I suffer from MH problems as well and I am trying to be more open about it as well. You never know. You may reach one person. And that would be a blessing.
Al blaze, I am a 61 year old black man who is in a wheelchair and I’ve been watching your channel for quite some time on television. You are my favorite UA-cam star and I take care of my own yard from the.🧑🏽🦽 but I just wanted you to know that you are my hero in the world really much more people like you. You are truly a honorable man and I’m gonna keep on watching and keep on commenting.
My help has been Jesus Christ for 46 years I don't take meds. I'm I. Pain I. Ti especially but Jesus touches my Infirmities I give God the Glory. I'll be praying for you and you can talk to Jesus he sees and knows your need. He Loves You.
And as somebody that has dealt with depression, after an accident, leaving me, partially paralyzed, you’d be surprised how much cutting those overgrown trees back and letting light in those nice big windows will help her. Darkness is depressing. Sunshine has a way of raising your spirit. Wish you all the best.
I learned three things in this video. 1. Al is open with sharing his struggles with people and his followers, which will help others who are dealing with anxiety. 2. No matter how hard the work is, if you keep chipping away, something amazing will be the result. 3. I want a domesticated raccoon.
That was so sweet when the raccoon licked his fingers, was not expecting that. That raccoon is so mild and tame, he has had kind and loving people raising him.
A raccoon is a wild animal and should stay thst way. God did not intend for them to be domesticated pets. The second that raccoon diverts to its true nature and bite someone, then he would put him down. That's not fair to the raccoon to keep him locked in a cage as a pet. And I already know there's going to be haters for my position.
@@dorothybedson1537this is not a hate message but, just as your message could have been construed as one, I also have an opinion and some knowledge on the subject. Wild animals are often domesticated for various reasons, mostly as rescues. These animals are vaccinated just like a dog or cat and tended by veterinarians. If the raccoon bites someone it would be handled according to the circumstances and not necessarily put down. And finally, God calls on us to watch over and when necessary to protect and tend to their needs. I have lived in the country most of my life and that’s what we do when we’re called to do so. These animals are rarely kept locked up in cages, if ever, because they are domesticated pets that are loved.😊
@@loisaustin6200we have many raccoons on our property and we love watching them and especially when they have babies. We put wild animal food and water out for them in winter and when it’s 100+ degrees out. Our yard is a safe haven for all animals and birds and they know it. Most nights everything is out there together eating (not each other) lol.😊
I just realized that she's using the door that you opened up for them, and the garage port! When you were there the first time, she had you use the side door. I loved the chat. Knowing you aren't alone in your feelings and thoughts. You're helping people with all kinds of things. So proud of you. I've suffered through some major issues, but never spoke about it to anyone outside my doctor's office. You have a way to help, just being yourself. We really care about you and your family.❤😊
Just having a nice tidy yard, they can bring a chair out in the backyard in the evenings and relax with a cool drink, get out of the house and enjoy the sunset. Being outside would help cheer me up a lot, hearing the birds, fresh air, feeling the breeze on my face.
Thank you for normalizing mental health. This transformation was INCREDIBLE! Now she and her family could have a small garden on one side of the house and cook outs on another side. Best of luck to everyone.
So glad to see you Al and so glad you are doing well. I’ve been keeping you in my prayers. Love your videos, you are such an inspiration. God Bless you. ❤️
She seems like such a sweet lady. Even if you can't really see her face, you can hear the 1000 watt smile in her voice when she sees Al and starts talking with him. And just her concern and gratitude are so big.
Creating order out of chaos is a true gift and skill. Not everyone has the foresight, ability and will to do what you do for people. You have my respect, especially for being willing to be open about your mental health challenges. I wish you every good thing for yourself and your family .
Ladies and gentlemen! The one the only AL BLADEz! The slayer of overgrown, unruly lawns. The tamer of out of control weeds, bushes , trees and snakes! The man that God gifted this world to teach us all to be better people and live in love and kindness to others. Thank you Al. Thank you God for blessing us all with you
You, the Boring Channel and S&B mowing have done and enormous amount of positive energy in people's lives that are not capable of the overgrowth that has overwhelmed and depressed them over the years. Now they can see clear of their future and have hope for their children as they play or swim in a once forgotten yard. Awesome amount of positive energy that you have created. I love how the equipment store supports your efforts and helps out. It's great to see how their products actually work in all kinds of crazy overgrowth.
Wow! What a huge difference you made! Imagine the extra light inside the house with all those overgrown bushes being gone now! Fantastic job Al! That was a lot of work!
My grandmother routinely said: "You can always find somebody worse off than yourself". Al, you find those people and help them. God bless you and I hope you get the help you need.
Me too, Disabled sence September 2009. Won my case in 2016, with 2 years back pay. Searved 21yrs USMC & 8 yrs DOS/DOD Contractor. I'm 64.5 with a Canadian Cain. In 4 days my Wife of nearly 42 yrs died from her 25 month battle with non-Hobkins Limpopha, 11 Jan. My oldest brother died Today, of Cancer. We are ALL in Gods Hands. Until We Are In His ARMS! JOURNEY ❤😂❤
Al, that's truly a miracle that you performed on that overgrown property. I hope this gives the homeowner an opportunity now to maintain the yard (and drive away all the snakes). This is life-altering for this family, and a dream come true for her neighbors. Great job!
Being someone who has suffered anxiety and depression previously, I am so pleased to hear that you are aware of the symptoms of the condition and also of where your supports are….wishing you continued good health Al.
I’m just going to say that what you add to people’s lives by virtue of your generosity cannot be measured enough. Even to those watching your videos come away with knowing we all can have an impact. Well done on the transformation of the yard and well done to you for opening doors to meaningful conversations.
Thank you, Al, for talking about your path from anxiety-ridden to healthy mindset. I need to hear about the small steps one must take to chip away at the anxiety and depression. The more we sit in silence, not acting or moving, the worse we feel. It IS overwhelming to face the challenges, but we MUST take at least small steps to overcome it. Thank you again! You’re doing a great service to humanity just by living your life the way you do!
Even Kitty felt the anxiety from you two discussing what was going on, and had to come over to make sure you were both okay. See how kitty first rubbed her owners legs, then had a look up at your face? I'm glad you found such a good homeowner who understands what you're going through. This was a good video on a few levels.
Mr blades, don't quit Honestly we need more Americans like you. The country will be better off So i pray for you and your Family May he give you strength.
That has been one of the biggest jobs you've done, and the fact that the family was so incredibly grateful AND understand the struggle. This yard was very rewarding in so many ways! Great job, Al!! Loved this one!! ❤
Wow! That's incredibly well done Al. And then you say " thanks for letting me do it. " You are one amazing man. Thank you for bringing awareness to mental health and the available care that's available. Everyone could and should seek mental health care, even if you don't think you need it. In reality, I believe we can ALL benefit from it. 💞✌️😊
Brother i have a small lawn business for 20 years now...ive been where your at 😢plz take care of yourself and have faith 🙏 in God...he helped me the most...your are an amazing person the beginning of your video really hit home with me it describes exactly where i was and how i felt..❤my hats off to you sir may god watch over you and your family.💪💪💪🙏♥️
Al, to say you out did yourself would be selling you WAY TOO SHORT!! WOW! There was a whole entire NICE home hidden in a jungle of trees & shrubs. Not only do they have a whole entire front lawn, surrounding security shrubs & fence line again, but they can really get some juice from the sun on those solar panels. Bravo Al, you REALLY DID a terrific job on this one 🙌🏼❤️
Hello Al, I know what you are going through. I deal with mental health issues and a year ago I attempted suicide. I don't have the support system you have, but am pushing through every day. I know you have the strength to do so as well. Keep fighting, it takes time, but you CAN do this.
What you do is amazing ----- But what you teach & share is even more valuable, than just the mowing. Your gift of generosity, your showing of appreciation just to be able to mow for them, your friendly, calm, kind mannerisms in dealing with people. Your attention to the small details like climbing vines, your respect for animal/bug life. And now discussing your mental health dealings --- brings it into the "average Joe" zone == helps others not to be timid or shy about discussing their issues (as their not alone). Your a walking, talking, helping aide. Well done young man. Take a bow, you've earned it. 👏👏👏👏💞💞💞🙏🙏
For a minute there on the back patio, I thought you were “ chopping” snakes! Then I realized, you were checking for things that could damage your mower! Both a kind and smart man you are Al
When a yard looks like that it's so stressful to the owner. It's looked at every day and the stress intensifies. You did more than cut down the yard, you helped them mentally. Now maybe they can get help maintaining it so it never gets like that again. What a great thing you did for them!
I wish you could physically punch something, chop wood, cry, break something you dont need, loose your temper with anxiety, look at what you have and how you are loved. Everyone needs you. Your family wants you back. Come on Al... you got this.
Between the amazing yard transformation and you talking about your mental health this was your best video to date. I truly believe you openly discussing your mental health is a huge help, not just to you but others as well.
Al, I really hope you never get rid of that chainsaw you have now. It is my favorite of the sounds your tools make. It helps my mental health to watch your videos and see order brought forth from chaos. Blessings to you and your family! 😇
Al, it’s oddly satisfying watching you mow these properties and clean them up. Thank you. it is a great distraction at the end of my day to watch you do what you do.
Al, I suffer from Depression and Anxiety and have for a LONG time. I finally had a "nervous breakdown" in 2020 and became suicidal. I ended up in a psych hospital for 3 months. You don't want to end up there even as good and helpful as it was. I've been taking meds daily and seeing a psychiatrist every month ever since. Best thing I ever did. I'm glad it's working for you too. Hang in there because you are well loved, respected and appreciated! ❤️ You did not meet your match here, Al. You kicked its butt! What an amazing reveal! Best to date that I've seen anywhere! Bravo sir. 👏👏
"Do what you can, when you can" is a mantra that I taught myself over a decade ago, despite any Spiritual, Emotional or Physical setbacks there may be, you be you and don't overdo yourself. Keep it up Al, don't feel pressured by this, but you are setting a bar.
Al I watch your videos all the time. You are amazing and I love it when you as people for help doing it. You need to do that more often.....the guys you had helping you last week were really cool happy men and they worked as hard as you. Always believe in yourself and never doubt you are an amazing human being. Never take note of any criticism aimed at you either. You are a beautiful unique man. People in New Zealand just do not do this....
Al, thank you for sharing your mental health journey. Many of us who struggle with this are so grateful for you. What an amazing transformation in this yard. I'm so happy the homeowners were genuinely concerned about your well-being and so grateful for what you did to help them. Much love and many blessings, Al. 🌿🌳💚🌳🌿
Al, you are amazing!! I love how you’re so transparent about your mental health! By talking about it, you are helping others to understand and realize that getting help is so important! Your yard transformation is beyond words! Bless you!!❤❤❤❤❤
🦸🏼✨👑🌿🚜🎉For two years I've been "hooked" on crochet and knitting You Tube videos- yet, REALLY MISSING YOUR KIND DEEDS AND PERSONALITY! Today I found You and Your friends on a Tag Team project and I was overwhelmed with joy- Thank You for continuing to give even during Your own tribulations! A Brother/Friend to Strangers is Heroic Al Bladez! 👑✨💛🌿🚜🌹🌿🏆🎉
Keep being an amazing human being, Al. I've been there and know you're not alone. The shear dedication you've put into this property for those people speaks volumes to not only your commitment to your work but the passion you have for helping people in general. This was a massive project and, sir, you knocked it out of the park for sure!! Glad you're back!!!
Al, you did a wonderful, beautiful transformation on this property. They were truly blessed to have you. I have dealt with issues my whole 70 years of my life. The last 15 years I find a lot of peace mowing my own property every few days here in Wisconsin for up to 3 hours each time, but I am sooo calm when I am done. Keep on doing your thing!
I was actually laughing when I saw the before/after shots. You can NOT believe it's the same property. Absolutely NOT!!! Incredible work, Al. Incredible 😍👏👏👏👏👏⭐️💛⭐️💛⭐️🤩
Two suggestions. Business cards and yard signs for anyone grateful. Signs could be used for business, UA-cam or even donations to charities. God loves you brother. Stay strong.
Would have love to see AP helping you out on this yard. Especially when it can get overwhelming sometimes when ya not feeling well. AP brings joy and laughter. Praying you are doing so much better AL🙏✨
Wow, this was such a transformation! That house was totally hidden by the overgrowth and you managed to tame it completely! I can see why it took you a while to complete, that was a LOT of work. Fantastic job, Al! And thank you for sharing your mental health journey with us. So many people hide it, and think they are alone. You have done a lot of people a great service in sharing your journey so they know they are not alone. Thank you so much, Al. God bless you and your family. ❤
Al you are so amazing! You transformed that jungle back into a yard that they can access and use! I thank God for you and your kindness,your resilience, and your love for others and the community. May God bless you and your family and all your endeavors.🎉❤
You have done a phenomenal job here! This was a very difficult task and you nailed it! Blessings to you as you navigate through this journey!God bless!🙏🏽
This world is so lucky to have a person like you. You keep up the good work, man, and keep on that sickness. Everybody has it. Most people don't talk about it .Send in love to you and your family, Al Stay strong, friend.💙💙💙
We love you too Al! My hubby and I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel together!! Thank you for all you do for others. Praying you know how much you're loved!!❤❤❤
Watching your videos helps me a lot, I suffer from Anxiety with Depression and also now being assessed for ADHD and Autism, but watching your videos helps a lot, your an amazing guy and you do amazing things for complete strangers. Keep up the amazing work and keep pushing forward, poor mental health is a horrid thing but we can get through anything if we truly want it enough.
Another wonderful transformation. With the overgrown trees and bushes cut down by the house, the sun can now come in through all those windows brightening up the inside of the house.
Can I make a suggestion??? After clarifying that your service is completely free of charge, how about saying that you would welcome their company if it’s not too hot outside. Everybody likes to feel needed and this is especially true of the depressed.
This lady is only one example of the people who do know and care how your doing. I am glad you’re taking care of your physical health as well as the mental health aspects, and I know how hard it is to admit you need help and reach out to find that help. I suffer from major depression and abandonment issues, so trusting another person is difficult for me and the other person. I have tried therapy and counseling, but again those pesky trust issues doesn’t allow me to open fully to another. The only way I fight depression is to focus on the positivity around me and not pay too much attention to the takers who make everyone feel bad. Also, walking and talking with my dogs is a major help because they know exactly what I am going thought and they just do their darnedest to bring my joy everyday. Keep fighting and know you’re not alone. We all have been damaged by others and the pandemic. I love your channel
Al, keep your head up,God got you, always remember he will never put anything on you that you cannot handle. Keep getting up and thank him for waking you up, always remember there's someone in this world fighting the same or even a worse battle.Keep posting your videos and thank you for sharing.❤ God bless you and your family! ❤
I rescue and transport hurt animals in my spare time. There ARE ALWAYS ways to give back. Donating to the homeless, meals on wheels, soup kitchens, cleaning up a local park that might need trash picked up, etc. If everyone took the time to help others, then this world would be a nicer place. It also helps with depression and self worth. If you struggling, help someone in true need and you will get an emotional high from it. Promise 💜
Al that was one crazy wild one, the transformation was pure awesomeness. That lady is smiling ear to ear thanks to you and won’t be forgetting you and your generous spirit.
Bringing mental health out in the open is a very good thing. I suffer from depression, which to me, is a shotgun word. It covers a lot of different things. My depression isn't the sad type of thing, mine manifests in anger. I would get ticked off at the smallest stuff. I finally went in and got it all dialed in. I'm not perfect, but I'm functioning a lot better than before. So many people suffer from depression, anxiety, you name it. There's help out there and there's no shame is seeking help. And be honest with your health care provider. Give them things they can work with, to help diagnose what's going on. Good luck to you Al, and to the lady whose yard you're fixing up!
This job was a big one, but you took it on and conquered it! Great work, Al! And good on you for not being afraid to talk openly about your struggles with anxiety & mental health. So many of us are going through some sort of struggle, but too few are willing to openly talk about it. Keep fighting the good fight, Al! You are good man and you have a great family. You’re going to be fine! You got this! ❤❤
That was a great job Al 👍. I hope the houseowner or her son does regular maintenance of the yard from now on , like cutting the shrubs or mowing a little at a time, so that she can have some exercise as well as a nice place for her kids.
Al,im so happy you are doing better. I get overwhelmed easily. I can only do baby steps. You do what's best for you. We all have some kind of crap we're dealing with. Much love to you. That yard is a huge transformation. Incredible ❤
Thank you for not "hiding" the mental health conversation that you had between yourself and the homeowner (because you didn't have to include it). You have NO idea how many people you have helped just by leaving this part in. We NEED to normalize conversations about mental health and the impacts that it can have on a person's life. That way, others will see it and know that not only are they not alone, but that they are "normal." Thank you for also being open about your own mental health journey. You truly are an inspiration!!
Yesss! I was so happy he left that in. ❤
You will probably not ever know the number of people you have blessed with your transparency regarding the anxiety you experienced. Thank you and Jesus' blessings of complete wholeness, renewal, and healing.

I took antidepressants for years and then I retired. What a difference. No more bad supervisors, no more depression. What a relief.
What a weight lifted off this family. The kids playing outside is a huge win
I love the fact that her daughter had fun in the yard already since he started the clean up.
They BOUGHT A POOL while this guy works his ass off for weeks for free.

Hello Al, I know what you are going through. I deal with mental health issues and a year ago I attempted suicide. I don't have the support system you have, but am pushing through every day. I know you have the strength to do so as well. Keep fighting, it takes time, but you CAN do this.
You are loved. God has been a great source of strength for me. I pray you continue to fight every day. God bless. 😊
2 mins and already 200 people have clicked on this. Wow! That's so good bro!
What you do is amazing ----- But what you teach & share is even more valuable, than just the mowing. Your gift of generosity, your showing of appreciation just to be able to mow for them, your friendly, calm, kind mannerisms in dealing with people. Your attention to the small details like climbing vines, your respect for animal/bug life. And now discussing your mental health dealings --- brings it into the "average Joe" zone == helps others not to be timid or shy about discussing their issues (as their not alone). Your a walking, talking, helping aide. Well done young man. Take a bow, you've earned it. 👏👏👏👏💞💞💞🙏🙏
What she says is true!! And it’s not just cuz you make over yards!! Please know that!!
For a minute there on the back patio, I thought you were “ chopping” snakes! Then I realized, you were checking for things that could damage your mower! Both a kind and smart man you are Al
Let's show Al some love remember to like and subscribe!😊❤️
Thank you for including this conversation in your video. So many people need to know they're not alone.
Thank You Al for being the man that you are. Always praying for you and family.
When a yard looks like that it's so stressful to the owner. It's looked at every day and the stress intensifies. You did more than cut down the yard, you helped them mentally. Now maybe they can get help maintaining it so it never gets like that again. What a great thing you did for them!
I wish you could physically punch something, chop wood, cry, break something you dont need, loose your temper with anxiety, look at what you have and how you are loved. Everyone needs you. Your family wants you back. Come on Al... you got this.
Between the amazing yard transformation and you talking about your mental health this was your best video to date.
I truly believe you openly discussing your mental health is a huge help, not just to you but others as well.
Al, I really hope you never get rid of that chainsaw you have now. It is my favorite of the sounds your tools make. It helps my mental health to watch your videos and see order brought forth from chaos. Blessings to you and your family! 😇
Al, it’s oddly satisfying watching you mow these properties and clean them up. Thank you. it is a great distraction at the end of my day to watch you do what you do.
So glad you're feeling better. If you need a break not to worry we'll be here when you return. God bless you and your family.
Al, I suffer from Depression and Anxiety and have for a LONG time. I finally had a "nervous breakdown" in 2020 and became suicidal. I ended up in a psych hospital for 3 months. You don't want to end up there even as good and helpful as it was. I've been taking meds daily and seeing a psychiatrist every month ever since. Best thing I ever did. I'm glad it's working for you too. Hang in there because you are well loved, respected and appreciated! ❤️
You did not meet your match here, Al. You kicked its butt! What an amazing reveal! Best to date that I've seen anywhere! Bravo sir. 👏👏
"Do what you can, when you can" is a mantra that I taught myself over a decade ago, despite any Spiritual, Emotional or Physical setbacks there may be, you be you and don't overdo yourself.
Keep it up Al, don't feel pressured by this, but you are setting a bar.
Al I watch your videos all the time. You are amazing and I love it when you as people for help doing it. You need to do that more often.....the guys you had helping you last week were really cool happy men and they worked as hard as you. Always believe in yourself and never doubt you are an amazing human being. Never take note of any criticism aimed at you either. You are a beautiful unique man. People in New Zealand just do not do this....
À standard 2 live by 4 sure. One day at time I forge ahead. Ciao.
Solid PSA & supportive concern for our Al.
It took me years to realize that.
Al, you brought back civilization in that yard! It was so overgrown! 👍👍👍
Al, thank you for sharing your mental health journey. Many of us who struggle with this are so grateful for you. What an amazing transformation in this yard. I'm so happy the homeowners were genuinely concerned about your well-being and so grateful for what you did to help them. Much love and many blessings, Al. 🌿🌳💚🌳🌿
You are never alone. If it’s to talk or just have someone to sit silently with you we are here! We love you!❤️
Al, you are amazing!! I love how you’re so transparent about your mental health! By talking about it, you are helping others to understand and realize that getting help is so important! Your yard transformation is beyond words! Bless you!!❤❤❤❤❤
🦸🏼✨👑🌿🚜🎉For two years I've been "hooked" on crochet and knitting You Tube videos- yet, REALLY MISSING YOUR KIND DEEDS AND PERSONALITY! Today I found You and Your friends on a Tag Team project and I was overwhelmed with joy- Thank You for continuing to give even during Your own tribulations! A Brother/Friend to Strangers is Heroic Al Bladez! 👑✨💛🌿🚜🌹🌿🏆🎉
Keep being an amazing human being, Al. I've been there and know you're not alone. The shear dedication you've put into this property for those people speaks volumes to not only your commitment to your work but the passion you have for helping people in general. This was a massive project and, sir, you knocked it out of the park for sure!! Glad you're back!!!
Al, you did a wonderful, beautiful transformation on this property. They were truly blessed to have you. I have dealt with issues my whole 70 years of my life. The last 15 years I find a lot of peace mowing my own property every few days here in Wisconsin for up to 3 hours each time, but I am sooo calm when I am done. Keep on doing your thing!
Garden Work is a good therapy. Being in the Garden and Look after some Plants is my time to calm down from Work.
What a lovely person. She was really concerned for you. Take it easy Al. X x x
Thank you for being open with your struggles and destigmatizing open discussion of mental health.
You seem much better. I pray you are taking care of yourself. You are a hero to many people.
I was actually laughing when I saw the before/after shots. You can NOT believe it's the same property. Absolutely NOT!!! Incredible work, Al. Incredible 😍👏👏👏👏👏⭐️💛⭐️💛⭐️🤩
I do a lot of gardening and working with animals myself. Helps the mental health. Hugs….. property is looking fantastic.
Two suggestions. Business cards and yard signs for anyone grateful. Signs could be used for business, UA-cam or even donations to charities. God loves you brother. Stay strong.
I don't think you get it. He's not in it for those reasons. He is just helping people.
You're just a REALLY great person! God bless you and yours, bro😊
Would have love to see AP helping you out on this yard. Especially when it can get overwhelming sometimes when ya not feeling well. AP brings joy and laughter. Praying you are doing so much better AL🙏✨
Wow, this was such a transformation! That house was totally hidden by the overgrowth and you managed to tame it completely! I can see why it took you a while to complete, that was a LOT of work. Fantastic job, Al! And thank you for sharing your mental health journey with us. So many people hide it, and think they are alone. You have done a lot of people a great service in sharing your journey so they know they are not alone. Thank you so much, Al. God bless you and your family. ❤
Al you are so amazing! You transformed that jungle back into a yard that they can access and use! I thank God for you and your kindness,your resilience, and your love for others and the community. May God bless you and your family and all your endeavors.🎉❤
You have done a phenomenal job here! This was a very difficult task and you nailed it! Blessings to you as you navigate through this journey!God bless!🙏🏽
This world is so lucky to have a person like you. You keep up the good work, man, and keep on that sickness. Everybody has it. Most people don't talk about it .Send in love to you and your family, Al Stay strong, friend.💙💙💙
Much respect to you! And many thanks.
We love you too Al! My hubby and I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel together!! Thank you for all you do for others. Praying you know how much you're loved!!❤❤❤
Watching your videos helps me a lot, I suffer from Anxiety with Depression and also now being assessed for ADHD and Autism, but watching your videos helps a lot, your an amazing guy and you do amazing things for complete strangers. Keep up the amazing work and keep pushing forward, poor mental health is a horrid thing but we can get through anything if we truly want it enough.
Same Same Al. Same Same. Eat clean, exercise, stay busy. Keys to life.
We have prayed for you the last several weeks. Keep on, keeping on. Our Lord will help you.
Another wonderful transformation. With the overgrown trees and bushes cut down by the house, the sun can now come in through all those windows brightening up the inside of the house.
Can I make a suggestion??? After clarifying that your service is completely free of charge, how about saying that you would welcome their company if it’s not too hot outside. Everybody likes to feel needed and this is especially true of the depressed.
This lady is only one example of the people who do know and care how your doing. I am glad you’re taking care of your physical health as well as the mental health aspects, and I know how hard it is to admit you need help and reach out to find that help. I suffer from major depression and abandonment issues, so trusting another person is difficult for me and the other person. I have tried therapy and counseling, but again those pesky trust issues doesn’t allow me to open fully to another. The only way I fight depression is to focus on the positivity around me and not pay too much attention to the takers who make everyone feel bad. Also, walking and talking with my dogs is a major help because they know exactly what I am going thought and they just do their darnedest to bring my joy everyday. Keep fighting and know you’re not alone. We all have been damaged by others and the pandemic. I love your channel
That was a HUGE undertaking and YOU GOT IT DONE! One section at a time. Way To GO!
Wow is all I can say! I’ve watched all the videos on this yard and what an incredible transformation!! God Bless you Al!
Al, keep your head up,God got you, always remember he will never put anything on you that you cannot handle. Keep getting up and thank him for waking you up, always remember there's someone in this world fighting the same or even a worse battle.Keep posting your videos and thank you for sharing.❤ God bless you and your family! ❤
Feeling Good, feels Good.
Feeling Better, feels Great!
Helping a family who does appreciate your work is an awesome thing to do. ♥️👍
Don't worry, Be happy
Al, you were such a blessing to this family. Take care of yourself .
I rescue and transport hurt animals in my spare time. There ARE ALWAYS ways to give back. Donating to the homeless, meals on wheels, soup kitchens, cleaning up a local park that might need trash picked up, etc. If everyone took the time to help others, then this world would be a nicer place. It also helps with depression and self worth. If you struggling, help someone in true need and you will get an emotional high from it. Promise 💜
Bless you and thanks!❤
P😅😅
Al that was one crazy wild one, the transformation was pure awesomeness. That lady is smiling ear to ear thanks to you and won’t be forgetting you and your generous spirit.
Bringing mental health out in the open is a very good thing. I suffer from depression, which to me, is a shotgun word. It covers a lot of different things. My depression isn't the sad type of thing, mine manifests in anger. I would get ticked off at the smallest stuff. I finally went in and got it all dialed in. I'm not perfect, but I'm functioning a lot better than before. So many people suffer from depression, anxiety, you name it. There's help out there and there's no shame is seeking help. And be honest with your health care provider. Give them things they can work with, to help diagnose what's going on. Good luck to you Al, and to the lady whose yard you're fixing up!
This job was a big one, but you took it on and conquered it! Great work, Al! And good on you for not being afraid to talk openly about your struggles with anxiety & mental health. So many of us are going through some sort of struggle, but too few are willing to openly talk about it. Keep fighting the good fight, Al! You are good man and you have a great family. You’re going to be fine! You got this! ❤❤
Al, you are a BIG BLESSING😊
That was a great job Al 👍. I hope the houseowner or her son does regular maintenance of the yard from now on , like cutting the shrubs or mowing a little at a time, so that she can have some exercise as well as a nice place for her kids.
You aren't alone, I have family and friends overseas and helping some of them them talk through their depression.
Al,im so happy you are doing better. I get overwhelmed easily. I can only do baby steps. You do what's best for you. We all have some kind of crap we're dealing with. Much love to you. That yard is a huge transformation. Incredible ❤
Keep on trying. Don’t give up.
Keep on doing the great work you do to help the community
