- Yes, I know the audio is absolutely terrible for part of this video, but by the time I realized it it was too late to do anything about it, and this story was worth leaving it in. To make a long story short, as I don’t want to put someone else’s personal troubles out to the world, this woman was in the middle of a move to a new state to try to create a better life for herself, when she was involved in a pretty bad car wreck. A lot of things went wrong for her all at once, life went sideways, and she ended up living in her wrecked car in one of the most expensive areas on the west coast for a few months. Through quite a bit of effort, she was able to find a place to live, but had no way to get her car, that contained everything she owns, to that new place. I told her I would tow it for free and that she wouldn’t owe a thing, but when I got there she still tried to give me the last $7 she had. Of course I refused it, and she was overwhelmed with happy tears at the sight of all her belongings finally safe, and the fact that someone would simply do something just to help her without wanting anything in return. Her day completely turned around when I brought her the car, and I’m sure it will rise up even more when she opens that door. I can only hope that that good momentum keeps carrying on for her and she gets to the place she wants to be.
Thank you to all of you who watch these videos, because you are the ones who allow me to do things like this for others. You deserve the credit, not me.

We as a society fail to show this level of empathy. Good on you, sir. Made my day and I wasn't even the recipient of this good fortune. Do good, folks. 🤘
The world needs a lot more people like you and I enjoy watching your stuff
@@gpw203 Met plenty of those in my life. People just don't realise that they need to pay back a bit of goodness. If he had made nothing and you insisted you wanted some money for doing a favour it would be understandable. I think this was a very valuable lesson for you. Such a shame that he didn't learn too.
God Bless You
Thank you for being a good person.
God Bless you.
Casey, I cried today when I saw this video. Your kindness to the woman who owns the car was a wonderful gift for her. I wish there were more people in the world who would see this video and would realize what doing one good deed can do for someone else. Her bumper sticker was perfect. Thank you so much for all that you do to help other people. I love your videos and this one touched my heart. Take care, stay safe. God bless you Casey.
The World needs more people like you Casey!
That was very generous of you Mike. 👍
@@richardthomas1743- if you want more of something, reward it. This was worth rewarding.
And more folks like Mike who can afford to help folks like Casey do the things that need to be done.
Legends the pair of you.
We all need to do this.
Hey Casey my name is Cody, I live here in Bend Oregon I love getting my day started and see where you’ll be and how you’ll be helping people. It’d be absolutely pleasure to join you on a recovering sometime, I live about 3 minutes away from Nate’s shop and he’s the only person I let work on my wrangler.
Thank you for helping out someone from New Mexico
Thanks here's a small token of my appreciation for the enjoyment I get by watching you help others!how does it go"WHAT GOES AROUND-COMES AROUND?"from BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧 without snow☃️☃️
If more people was like this, the world would be a nice place.
Seeing something like this, shows me that living in Denmark is a great place
This country needs a bunch more good people such as yourself!!
I snuck some cash in a car window at my grandson’s school two days in a row, ( the window was partially rolled down “ right before Thanksgiving, the girls bring their 2 kids to school everyday, you can see the sacrifices that the adults make to provide for their kids, I got to experience them two adult girls telling the teacher that without that little bit of money, they would have been eating beans and potatoes, but they were able to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, I walked right back to my car crying like a baby,
Great job Casey and as always your the nicest person ever
Lots of us have been one paycheck away from living in our cars at times in our lives. It’s always good to remember that and treat others with empathy in their situation.
I’ve been closer than that on a few occasions.
Thanks for the good deed, Casey! You are really special.
Thanks!
We need more people In this world like you Casey keep doing you my man
Impressed by your attitude to life. We need a lot more people like you!
Thanks for living by example! Your daughter is noticing and watching. If you don't live by principles, then the next generation doesn't know how to live and act towards others. Well done!
Thank you so much for everything you do Casey! As a fellow Central Oregonian I am grateful to have you in these parts.
This is why I like your videos! And the snow trax ;)
My best electronic repair ever was a hot water kettle, the lady brought it in to me she was in her late 70's, her husband had passed away 2 years earlier and she told me that every day since they had gotten married they spent the morning having tea boiled water in the kettle and spent that moment together before they had to start their days. I spent alot more time and effort rebuilding the kettle than most people would have suggested be reasonable, but it meant her world that if she couldn't have him in person at least every morning she could have tea from the kettle they had shared for so long. its not about the time it takes its about the time it represents.
The world needs more people like you Casey. Maybe someone in that area has a decent used car they can donate to her.
Keep up the good work.
Damn Casey, you got me choked up on this one... God bless you.
That bumper sticker is the exact definition for integrity my kids have been reciting to me since they were young.
When my daughter was 6 she was diagnosed with a disease that could take her a soon as 14 years old. Life indeed can change in an instant. All of the sudden its easy to live life like one should. Quality of life is the most important. Someone could say I should be depressed. But in fact the opposite.
She's 14 now. Doing way beyond expectations. With not a care in the world.
The world needs a few more people like you, cheers mate !
Casey, tears in my eyes. I know from where came on this one. We have a neighbor that is not doing well financially and physically. My wife and I fixed a plate of Thanksgiving goodies for her and her son and you would have thought we gave them a million dollars.
PAY IT FORWARD
Well done, Casey. Your heart is in the right place. There is a sign where I get my breakfast sandwich before work that says something to the effect of "You might be standing next to someone today that is trying not to fall apart so whatever you do, do it with kindness in your heart".
That is sooooo true!!
My wife and I do similar, when we go out to eat, to gas station, or to grocery store we look around for someone who appears to be struggling and anonymously pay for their gas, groceries, or dinner as the case may be!
NOT stating this to toot my own horn just letting Casey know that others are out there helping as well! Last Christmas there was a lady here in similar circumstances and we paid a week in a motel and groceries for a week to help her get back somewhat on her feet, others also assisted and paid for subsequent weeks until she was able to sustain on her own!!
I'm a big fan of Random Acts of Kindness. Little things count. Keep up the good work 👏
You Sir are one of the most caring , selfless people I have ever seen.
We can't fix everything but as you rightly say fixing one thing at a time is a great way to start. Even the seemingly simple act of letting someone pull out at a junction can change how that person's day is going. Thanks Casey.
I watch UA-cam videos a lot when it is so cold outside, and some of these are road-rage videos. It amazes me that a lot of these wrecks are caused by somebody not letting somebody in, or out. What is gained be being an ass-hat to someone that is just trying to go from point A to point B? Will it cause you problems to give that person 3 seconds of your day? So many wrecks can be avoided by just being a little more forgiving. I do not want to leave the impression that I am always following my own advise, BUT, I am trying to be a better me.
It's hard to hold back the tears, but I'm at work on break and don't know if I can explain why my eyes are wet. Thanks for helping her. You reminded me why this time of year is more about giving not getting. I'm trying to do my part too because I have hard stories as well. So thank you to all who care to help others like Casey. To those who may be able to do more but choose not to why aren't you doing it? You'll feel better for it when you see someone else's tears for what you did. The bumper sticker says it all!
I agree 100% Casey, I have stopped to help change a tire a number of times. It is amazing how many people don't know how to do that. Keep up the great work.
My wife and I were going fishing one time in Nevada, and along side of the road was a car with a lady standing by it with her spare tire leaning against the bumper. I turned around and went back and helped her change her tire. Her Husband had showed her where to put the jack when they bought the car, and she had it in place. There is no way that she could have changed that tire. I had too get my 4 way lug wrench out of the Jeep to loosen her lug nuts. That little "L" shaped lug wrench would never have worked. I am not a small man, at 6'3" and 250#, and I could not loosen the lug nuts with her factory lug wrench. I told her that she needed to go buy a 4 way lug wrench so that she would have it for the next time. She whole heartedly agreed.
Casey is awesome. He does what he can to help anybody. That being said, I know how to change a tire, but can no longer do it by myself. I hate feeling helpless!
@@annsecrest9794 I understand you completely. I am 75, and about 5 years ago I had to actually admit to MYSELF, that I could not do what I use to do. I have ridden dirt bikes since I was 19, and although I was never very fast, I could go places that were sketchy at best. I recently sold my Yamaha XT600, because if it tipped over, I could not lift it back up. When you ride dirt bikes, you WILL need to lift it back up occasionally. I still have a Yamaha TW200, and even though it is a little heavy, I can lift it up. LOL
I also hate not being able to physically do what I use to do. Not just dirt bikes either. LOL
@@Rat-Builder @Ann Secrest - I'm living in the same boat. Aging isn't for the faint of heart.
"Start the ripple!" I'm going to live by those words. Thank you for all that you do to help others ❤️
This reminds me of another saying. HumanKind, Be both. You sir are the embodiment of this. Thank you
Good video. I have done the same thing with my excavating. When people need a trench for a sewer line or water line and are worried about the cost, I don't charge them. Many people I have done work for paid me a lot more than I charged, so around our small town in Idaho, people are helping each other. Yesterday, I helped a snow removal company. His truck was not working, so I used my Kubota side-by-side and front blade, to help clean snow from a church parking lot, street and access to the church, at no charge. This church also serves as the food bank location, so it needs to have access and lots of parking .
I know you mean what you say cause by your voice you where starting to choke up cause you did that from your heart.
The spirit of Christmas, something that you share all year long... thanks for sharing with us that there are still kind-hearted people in this world
Love it Casey. Never can go wrong blessing others.
I've been in lows before, had a little kindness that helped me move to paradise (Indonesia). Now the shoe is on the other foot, I help those who are having the same lows I have experienced. Somehow Casey, you have managed to top this kindness by returning someone's home to them, and you deserve a medal for that. On the behalf of those who have had help from angels like you, ild like to say THANK YOU, and may you and your family be blessed with everything you need and more!
I lived in Indonesia for a few years..
Miss a lot of the fruits. The food was great it's more natural the herbs fresh, i just couldn't get my head around driving a car
@@lightman489 that is a hard one here!
My dad was born in Indonesia, moved to the US in 1959 now he is 92 and he returned there 20 years ago, I wish I could go there to see him. I don't think I would ever make it there.
@@randylinn502 patience is a virtue. It is difficult from a westerner point of view, however I think it is changing, thought processes and roads are making progress
Awesome act Casey, the worlds a brighter place with people like you in it
If I could afford to live in Bend when I retire, I would gladly volunteer my services for you to continue your awesome work. Drove a rollback for 10 years and saw it all. Many a times I tried to help the less fortunate and it gives my heart great joy to see someone actually get recognition for doing something that probably comes natural to you. Thanks for taking me along for the ride.
Genuinely a Decent human being. Thank You for being a great example for everyone. Keep up the great videos
You're a good man 👍. My favorite sayings is, ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING. And when people do what you just did, they may never know the ending of the person they helped, but their hearts are fuller for it.
I don’t know how you can house such a big heart in your chest. Good on you pal
Good on you Casey, was already a big fan of the channel and you just stepped up a notch in my book, the world needs more people like yourself.
You're a good man Casey, nicely done!
Bottom Line is SOMEONE HAS TO CARE, & WHAT Comes Around Goes Around, & You'll Get Back Whatever You Put Out, & That Was GREAT & MAKES US Want To Watch You all The More EVERY TIME YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN & AGAIN 👍👍👍
People like you restore faith in humanity. Nice one. 👍
"Start the ripple..." a very good philosophy. Well done Casey, and thank you for posting this.
Casey thank you for what you do. You say it's because of us watching these video's, I truly feel that you would do it even if it weren't on camera. Hope fully the lady will get back on her feet and one day pay it forward. 👍👍
World needs more people like Casey.
My tow truck is less than adequate but I help people out as much as I can. The local towing company takes peoples vehicle or charges outrages amounts and does not even let them get their personal items out. I tow people for free even if they can pay just to keep him from getting the business. If I could afford a better tow truck I would try to put him out of business.
We call that integrity.
Doint the right thing even when nobody is watching.
You've got it, Casey. You've got it by the bucket.
You are a good man, Casey!!
Casey what a great big caring heart you have. More of us need to take a step back and learn from this. Thank you!
Yes. This. Well said, sir!
One of your best Casey! Thanks for your shining example of humanity… especially through the holiday season. All the best!!!
Having lost everything (career, house, family, friends) and ending up at my personal lowest point in life, this hit home. There's nothing worse than losing or having no hope left. My story is NOT unique or special, there's thousands of people who've endured worse. A little empathy can be life changing!
This is proof once again that it doesn’t matter how much you have, but what you do with what you have. In your case you have the ability to make big differences but I’ve seen the time when just offering to move the contents of the car would have made a big difference.
This just goes to show the big heart you have sir!
Could/would you be able to tell us how John the Veteran is doing?
Thanks Casey for all that you do for people.
I salute you Sir!
Your such an inspiration Casey. You are amazing
We did payment plans for awhile but couldn't sustain the losses. My boss and his wife don't like charging what we do even though we know the service is worth it. It's a huge debate when we raise our rates. Great video. Anyone who has watched you for some time knows your not a glory hound. Keep up the good work Casey.
100% Casey, 100%.
I have always believed in doing the good karma, pay it forward thing. As a very good friend of mine says, it is the right thing to do.
In the last two weeks I have had some really good things happen to me. My friend told me it is my good karma coming back to me just because of who I am.
Buy a homeless person a sandwich, stop and see if the person broken down on the side of the road needs help. Shovel the snow off your neighbors driveway.
All little things but it means so much to who ever you help.
You are a good man Casey.
Casey I can tell this touched you as well as it did me if only this world would slow down and open their eyes what a better place it would be. God bless you Casey and as always be safe 👍
We need more of this in the world!!
Most people are quick to judge others by what things look like from the outside, it really doesn't take much to make an impact on someone's life, be kind and treat people like you want to be treated and that goes a long way. Kudos too you Casey for doing what you do, i applaud your efforts!!
Good job Casey! This has always been my passion, serving others in small ways. A lot of folks say, “we’ll if I could just hit the lottery I could do this or give somebody this.” Probably not. But……the next time you want to spend $5.00 on a quick pick or a scratch off just hand that $5.00 or $1.00 over to someone that’s in need. You’ll most likely make a bigger difference. Remember what Jesus said, “when you do unto others you have done unto me. So feed somebody, clothe the naked, visit those in prison etc etc.
And yes don’t let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. Everybody should heed to her little sign. I’m sure you just made a huge impact on your audience today. Like I said earlier. Good job Casey.
I don't usually comment on videos but you are a good guy. Thank you for helping out people like the woman in the video.
Thank you Casey. What you did Likely changed this woman's life forever. I speak from true experience. The acts of kindness I received from others truly saved my life and have enabled me to Continue. That's sweet woman's bumper sticker set it all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for paying it forward.
Golden Rule!! Treat people the way YOU would want to be treated.. and DO IT, like Casey does, every day!!!
You're a good man Charlie Brown!
You are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
imagine if, in general, communities were more self-supporting like this.
Wow! It is so nice to see you show us that, helping someone in need, can be so rewarding to the person who is the helper. This illustrates how private charity includes a grateful person, and person who feels good about giving to another, that’s the reward.
Good on you Casey, this is the best recovery video I have ever seen! Thank you.
Do a good turn daily is the Boy Scout slogan and you are living that Scouting tenet. That is an inspiration to all.
Your a good man and a pillar of your community.
Keep up your channels good vibes.
Casey what you did for that lady, show the true character of a man you are. Another job well done !
Your words today were GOSPEL Bro👍🙏🙏🙏
Simple guiding principal, "Do what is right." Period. No exceptions, no but's, no justifications. Just do what is right. And the world will be a better place.
Calls like that are EXACTLY why I love being a tow truck driver
Thank you for helping people in the area I spent several years of my life. My parents and nieces are still in Redmond, and I am astonished when I visit by how much it has grown and costs to live in that there now.
Awesome job brother! Sometimes when I’m in a drive thru I pay for the vehicle behind me. We never know what a person is going through in life. One simple kind hearted thing can change a persons day or life.
You did what we should all do for our fellow mankind!
Gonna make a guy tear up... when I used to do computer repair, there were times when I would get called out to help the poorest of the poor. I'll never forget some of those very hard moments when somebody who clearly had much less than I did *insisted* on *TIPPING* me and wouldn't let me say no. I drove away crying. Or the times when I could really make a difference by taking a computer that was on its last legs, throwing some used/free parts at it, and giving it more life. And like you... no charge. I always misquote a scripture from the Bible, but essentially it says "When it's in your power to do good, do good." It's the best feeling in the world, too.
great job casey. the world needs more people like you. i hope this does motivate other people that would not normally help someone to do so.
You're the sh&t.
I think it's an Oregon thing ( in part).
I had a blowout north of Madres back in 79. A local ranch hand helped us flip our trailer up onto it's tires. Took our wheel off to the ranch and put a tire on it. Helped us get the car up the road (front suspension was trashed) to a safe place to park...
The story continues for a month of THE BEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED HELPING A COUPLE OF GUYS FROM WASHINGTON GET TO LAKE TAHOE.
Oregonians rock!!!
I speak for all the people who watch but never comment, myself included. Every recovery you post is a gift as we all know and you help so many people and that makes you a saint in our eyes bud. You give so much and ask for nothing in return. We love you Casey.
What you do and sharing what happens is a message loud and clear. The lady's bumper sticker is your life style. Your sharing it with us, to me is priceless.
Damn. Good for you, Casey, you've moved me, man.
Thank you. You're a good soul.
This comment is one year late, I’m just now catching up on your videos! Thank you for allowing us to pay-it-forward and for all of your good work to help the community. I have a Nephew and his family living in Bend, they too moved from California recently. I am so happy to know that he moved to such a wonderful community to raise his two young boys and that there are folks like you there to help those in need. God Bless and Keep You Safe in your good works!!!
Casey you are a good man. This is me shaking your hand. I needed to see this to put a smile on my face (so you really helped 2 people).
Do something nice for someone without waiting to be asked. Makes the world go round.
That is who you are Casey I don't expect anything more from you you're always doing your best for people in need, thank God there is still people like you around
You're a good man Casey.. This is just one reason why I will watch and support you.. God bless you
Casey you are a true inspiration and in my opinion a guardian angel.
People helping people is the best feeling in the world.
That bumper sticker is such a powerful statement in everyway.
I hope to one day get a chance to meet you in person.
God bless you for helping her...:-) I needed a tow one night, had no money, only home made cupcakes with me. So I gave him 1/2 dozen for towing me to the nearest service station...:-)
You're a hero!
It’s not about the money, it’s all about the service, I believe this more than anything
Great job Casey! I'm sure you will remember that woman, and she certainly will remember your kindness/compassion. ❤️ Thank you for letting us see this journey- I am challenged to look for more ways to help in my own community. 👍
If the world had more people like you it would be a better place great video and keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe and happy holidays
Much respect for helping her with her car. Also leaving her a little money.
Thanks for the video
This is exactly why i started towing the feeling of knowing you helped someone when they really had no other options is worth more then any amount of money
The human spirit at it's best as shown through your empathy and kindness. Thanks Casey for reminding us what it means to be a neighbor, a friend, a stranger willing to help another soul in need. You help restore faith in people for me, thank you. Now go get back to work!
Imagine how much better this world would be if there were more kind people like you. $7 is nothing for you but for her it was everything. Thank you for your kindness.
