You lot are incredible! I added the reaction to this week's video, Just wanted to share the difference you have made. Here is the link = www.gofundme.com/f/helping-jim-jean
wow over £59k already - Amazing !!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Fantastic episode once again makes me have faith in humanity there are some fabulous people in this world,well done once again guys youve worked so hard. 🥹💯👏👏👏
I hope the money will be enough to not only include renovations of the house but also a cleaning firm to come on regular basis to clean the inside. Having builders really makes a lot of mess - inside and outside. I guess this was his wife assignment previously. Very few men at that age know anything about cleaning a house or just attend to what you see right in front of you. Corners and behind matters a lot.
I hope Jim can be able to spend time with his wife as much as possible.
That garden is very flat. Not so hard to keep clean. Why not get a mower robot to take care of the lawns?
I'm no builder but imagine big bifolding doors on the extension so easy access to patio that would be amazing keep up the good work guys ❤
Jim, I heard you use the word 'stranger'. You're not a stranger any more. We've seen your character and your heart. You're a friend we haven't met in person yet and it's an honor to know you.
So True, amen
He forgets how open he has been, I think he is brave to some himself and his emotions.. which is why we all have fell in love with him!
That's a lovely thing to say, but it's true ❤
100%!
Well said
The best bit about this is seeing the difference in Jim, he is like a new man and even standing straighter. He is going to miss those guys the company and camaraderie have done wonders for him.
He's stuck with us for the rest of the year now! Once it's all done we will have to check in on him for sure. Thank you for watching!
@@FlawlessCleaningServicesJim and Jean are part of our community, as is Norman, Sheila, Barbara and Peggy. We will need updates on all of them, just a hello will do. 😃
@@FlawlessCleaningServices I can't imagine you leaving him alone again - you've got a second family now! Bloody well done Ben and team!
Jim is so full of life and joy now thanks to you all. I wonder if there’s a local Men in Sheds group to join for a bit of male company if care arrangements can be made for Jean.
We were just talking about that. He seems younger and more fit. Just having the company, experiencing the positive changes, helping when he can, feeding the guys...all of it must be improving him physically as well as mentally and emotionally. What a benefit!
£66,798, Nearly there folks! WHOOP! WHOOP!
Ben, dad and ALL who have worked SOOOO hard on this project- God bless you, you are angels! Jim and Jean, no longer strangers, but friends- we love you! This couldn't happen to a lovlier couple! Its a privilege to be able to help Ben help you.
Oh and well done the architect ( sorry forgotten his name) for forgoing his fees! Class act. Cant wait for next Friday's episode. Love to all ❤
You have not only saved Jim and Jean's home, you, dad and team have probably given Jim another 20 years or more of life by lifting the HUGE burden off his shoulders.
Thank you so much for being a utuber!!! Flawless is the absolute best!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes I agree!!
wish you and your family a good and happy day.
He will take better care of himself and hope Jean will be able to sit outside soon. Know not much about her except bed rides mostly.
This is exactly what the internet should all be about, community and kindness not egos and anger. So happy for Jim 😊
Spot on!
Yes it should💖
👏👏👏
absolutely !!!!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊b0😅p
Knight and Sons have done you a solid helping with all the rubbish removal, bravo to them
Hats off to that Company! Thank You
Knight and Sons waste removal service another amazing company 👏👏👏
Yes, well deserved praise for Kinight and Sons!
yes, thank you so much ❤
We cannot forget them, can we? They are equally fabulous!
£70,000 raised for the amazing Jim and Jean! What a journey this has been, and what a journey it continues to be!
You really do need to be heavily nominated for The Pride of Britain Award. You and your team are absolute superstars. We love you Jim! ❤❤
Jim carrying the planks of wood speaks volumes about his gratitude.
Watching Jim come back to life is one of the best parts of this rehabilitation. God bless all of you.
Right on!
Having work to do and someone to support you in it, and just to talk to. Amazing what a friend can do.
Awesome job you all have done in participating and getting things done for these elderly. What a difference. ♥️👍
It absolutely is, just so uplifting and heartwarming.
As a 75 yr old I understand the transformation in Jim. When your brain sees all the work that needs doing and your body fails you, you become so overwhelmed that even the smallest task becomes monumental BUT when you have young healthy bodies systematically wade in and help, it is like a reboot to your brain and energy. Jim in this time has gone from a bewildered 77yr old to a energetic 50yr old. Thank you Ben, Phil and team giving Jim back the gift of self-esteem.
I have enjoyed the transformation in Jim and his property! I would add that is one Huge yard - don’t know how he ever maintained it. The vegetation is so different from here in the western US! You all have good hearts. Thanks for restoring confidence in the good in people!
Just wanted to say ive just watched this video with tears in my eyes. My late wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer jan 2022 by August she was bed bound & we had a hospital bed in the living room. I slept downstairs on the sofa so i could be with her plus i was her main carer. By the end she didn't know who anyone was or what was happening. Watching the one you love suffer is the hardest thing in the world & time is precious. I lost my wife 23 December 2022 & that day i felt like my life ended.
What you're trying to do by building an extension so they can be together is the most amazing thing anyone can do for them. I hope you achieve everything you want & more so the 2 of them can spend precious time together as thats the most important thing in life. You're a good man
Hugs ❤
So sorry for your profound loss and the heartache you've endured. Hugs too.❤
Sending loads of love your way ❤
Sending you healing ❤
❤️
The fundraiser has just hit £70,000. Well done to everyone who has donated. Ben has secured the pro bono services of an architect. I can't wait to see the plans 👍
Three cheers for Knights and Sons for doing the waste removal!!
A message for Jim:
To those of us in this community and have seen you over these past few videos, you are not a stranger. You've shown you have a gentle soul with a heart filled with nothing but kindness. That money is a gift. Through these videos, we can see that every penny is not being wasted and know it's going towards helping you. As a community, we may not have met you in person, but it has been an honour to have gotten to know you. The news doesn't show it much, but there's more kind people in this world than not, and we're al here for you.
Very well said, thank you, I agree with you ❤🎉😊
Beautifully said.❤
I agree, praying your cancer goes away all together. And your wife's spirits are lifted and she has comfort, I also have osteoporosis.
You're not a stranger Jim - we've all fallen in love with you and your story...you absolutely deserve it all...just accept and enjoy it!....the world is a tough place to live in these days, this is a little bit of joy for many of us to tune into every week....we are all so happy to contribute, and to have been a part of this journey with you...🙏💕
Well spoken 👍👍👍👍
I couldn’t have said it better ❤
@@1tonyboat Thank you Tony - it's a heartwarming story x
@@pretzeltime3900 Thanks lovely 💞
Yes, It gives me joy to see Jim so happy and looking better with every video.
So impressed by Jim being out there, every day, contributing what he can to the effort. I can see just how much he loves his yard and how sad he was that it got into such a state. He may feed you lunch, but you feed his heart with your company. Lovely to see Jim bloom like a flower!
BEN AND YOUR DAD: We cannot thank you both, enough, for all that you have done for the lovely and very grateful, Jim and Jean. You have made them so happy and relieved from lots of stress and worry. God bless you all.
Thank you SL Architectural Ltd for offering you services free to Jim and Jean. I see they are only two thousand quid off thier goal of 70,000
I'm now convinced your Dad doesn't need any encouragement.....at all.
Absolute legend.
It is phenomenal to see how generous people are. Jim and Jean are so deserving of this, but it's still just a beautiful thing to see. Thank you to everyone who could afford to donate, and chose to do so. It's just wonderful. And if you can't afford it, that's okay! - You are still helping Jim and Jean and this channel if you are liking the video and leaving a comment. 🙂
A big shout out to Kress as well for all their tools to help Ben help others
That's what we're here for! So proud we can do something to support Ben's cause
Who’s crying! What a wonderful thing to do! Incredible generosity! Totally blown away xxx
Me! Every time I start to edit these, Just shows the difference we are making! let's go!
I am.
My eyes are just sweating from summer heat. 😊
I'm not crying, you're crying. 😪😪 Even with that I look forward to the video every week. When do we get to see the other half of Jims precious family.
Me, too! You are not only making a positive difference in Jim's garden and house, but, most importantly, in his life, in himself, he seems stronger, more full of life, he even knows how to handle the electric cutter better, and is carrying some weight standing straight.
But I fear he might get depressed once this renovation is over and you guys will move on to another fantastic project.
He will miss your company, serving you tea and snacks, helping out, watching everything that is going on. It's like a dream. It's like having kids at home and when the nest is empty, loneliness is all we have.
I don't want that for him.
With everyone asking for political donations, this is a much more rewarding way to spend my money. Thanks Ben!
I don`t give to people who knock on the door ...i prefer to choose ,,,,,,,and i chose `Jims cause `..no big CEO who would fill his pockets ..
I agree we get to see good taken place
Amen to that!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Well done, everyone! £70,225
Thank you Knight and sons!
Who’d of thought that cleaning someone’s driveway for free to make a UA-cam video you would end up doing such wonderful work as this. I truly believe you and your dad deserve official recognition for all that you do. Bless you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It would be so amazing if a landscaping company volunteered to do something with the gardens. Jim and his wife could then sit in the new addition or out on their deck having morning coffee and looking at something pretty. They obviously loved their garden very much. It would be the icing on the cake.
I bet some garden will happen! The cherry on the icing! :o)
I agree - such a massive space to work with as well
I was thnking the same thing...
Likewise
Jim is so lovely. Deserves an outdoor space, his wife will be able to enjoy the garden too. You are priceless to him. A pleasure to watch.
These stories of the elderly folk you help have become true epics!!!! I luv 'em. Well done, lads. Keep donating to this worthy fund, peeps. I cannot wait to see Jean downstairs and enjoying the sunshine. And Jim has an extra spring in his step thanks to you Ben and your wonderful team.
I quit my job two weeks ago as a support worker due to the treatment by the company I worked for of its staff. Watching you makes me realise that there is still some good in the world.
Well done to you, your dear ol' dad and everyone else you've roped in on the job. People like you make life worth living. ❤
They sure do
You've done right! Please take care 💜
There's also profit in doing good
Jim is getting to experience all the kindnesses he has shown towards others, being returned to him.
His Dad cracks me up! Jim should have known he was hiding behind the tree in some sort of silly fashion, whether it be as a horse, in a blonde wig or who knows what lol.
I’m one of the people who donated during watching the last video. Hi from Michigan in the US! This is a message for Jim. We all have grown to love you and Jean (even though we haven’t met Jean yet). We want you to be able to enjoy life together in a safe and functional home. My sincerest hope is that you will open yourself fully to receive the gifts that Ben has made possible. I hope that these blessings can be an experience like a waterfall of clean cool water over you on a hot day. We all want these gifts to be a source of happiness for you both!
You are the best!!!💚
Hi Barb, from another Michigan viewer. Isn't it wonderful to see Jim and his property blooming again?
How big is that garden. It just keeps going. I genuinely look forward to these videos all week, for half an hour, I can believe they there are still good people in this world.
I cannot get over how much foliage you’ve taken out of that yard! Once again, you’ve done an amazing job. I love that. Jim likes to be part of the whole process. I think you’ve made them very happy!
It is a privilege to be a part of this. Thank you Ben and your dad and those hardworking helpers for what you are doing.
😊
Yes sir!
Thank you so much
The "JIM" series is completely off the charts. He and Jean are so deserving of the Blessings from Flawless Cleaning. You're a great bunch of guys !!!
I’m speechless, you guys are absolutely amazing! So are everyone who was able to help!
Must admit Jim is moving so much easier these days, he has a spring in his step. Everyone involved in this project will get back 100% of the positivity they have given to Jim and Jeane and the neighbours.
Oh my. Never thought that the yard would be this big. The fence is nice and I’m sure the neighbor is pleased with it as well. Good job everyone and a special thanks to Knight and Sons for hauling everything away. It’s incredible how much there is. God bless. ❤
Yeah! KNIGHT AND SONS!!! ! It is so important to get all that waste away!
Nice of them to help.
Yeah! Knight and Sons UK...
Amen
Ditto 😊
I’m just watching this now when you’ve told Jim that GFM is at £40k, I’ve donated and it’s now at £70k! Ben, I’m so proud of you and your team for choosing to help others in need, and how it’s exploded into this. You are literally saving people’s lives. Thank you.
My goodness I laughed when I saw Hercules!!! What a hoot! Thank you, Jim, for allowing your story to be shared with all of us!! Ben and family you are the best! A big shout out to Knight and Sons waste removal service - you guys rock! I've looked forward to this vlog all week!! A big thanks to everyone who donated. Sending well wishes from South Carolina, USA.
This is what community looks like.
and it feels so powerful! thank you for being a part of it
Having watched this series, there is an important thing I have noticed. ⭐⭐⭐ You and your mates have built a comradery with this elderly gentleman. It is needful for him. Ya'll have probably added 10 yrs to his life just b/c he gets to JUST be around men. That may matter more than anything you all have done for the quality of his life and his spouses life in the physical realm. Keep horsing around gentlemen - it is IMPORTANT!
Everyone before me has said it so much better than I ever could. Just watching Jim be healthy again.. it's the hope, and it's not being left alone to deal with everything... He looks 10 years younger. And think of Jean, when she can finally come downstairs and enjoy her garden again !
YESSSSS!!! 🤩 I was so excited to see so much of the requested donations were rolling in so fast!! I am HAPPY to help! I KNEW it would all be donated! And no need to stop there... for those that are still able to donate but haven't yet, will all keep adding to the balance. Who knows what you will be able to accomplish with a nice fat sum for Jim & Jean. What an EXTRAORDINARY thing for you and this wonderful community you have cultivated have done!! WOO-WHOOO!!
Jim was so overwhelmed with shock & joy when you told him how the GoFundMe came through. His tears of joy and gratitude are so touching -- I cried right along with him. You are soo good to him, Ben! What a dream come true, for both J&J to be downstairs together again. You guys really put in the back-breaking work again like champs! Please be careful out there and tell Jim Stacy sends love from the great Pacific Northwest, Lakewood, Washington! 💛🖤💛 Stacy
It’s amazing can’t believe it
Here in the US we are going through political hell and seeing this miracle of goodness is heart warming
Yes it gives us hope! Doesn’t matter where you are!💚
Yes, this is a very nice break from the insanity.
You know the more I watch this - and oh the irony because it’s social media that has brought about this fantastic result - I think of how many Jims there must be out there. As much as I applaud social media / YT for raising funds, what it brings home, more than anything is how isolated people like Jim & Jean are. The underfunding and erosion of local services has probably left them with very little support. We need somehow, some way to bring back a real life sense of community into our world. We need to build our community centres, sports facilities, libraries and youth centres again. By fostering a community spirit from young age, hopefully you create a sense of caring. In turn if our young felt cared for, encouraged and involved maybe they would pay it forward. How can they do this if they are glued to social media and worried about where the next like is coming from? Flawless Cleaning Services have no words for you living and demonstrating what is meaningful is this life - it’s a beautiful thing you’re doing. ❤
Wow the £70,000 target has just been reached - it only took 1 week!
I am sure all of us are overjoyed and wiping away tears of happiness for the blessings that Jim & Jean are receiving ❤
You guys are amazing. I truly appreciate Jim's effort to participate.
Your father is a legend, funny, and with real humanity. We love you all.
The world is a better place because of you guys.
People asking why doesnt Jim sell up and move into something smaller? Remember your thoughts when you reach his & his wifes ages with their health issues. They have lived there a long while, brought up a family there so lots of memories. Moving is not always the answer. Well done to Ben, his Dsd and team for getting this far a brilliant effort 👍
I’m crying happy tears. Jim! Can’t wait until you and your wife have a cuppa in your extension.❤😢
@@rae5637 plus they have community/resources there already.
It has been proven that elderly who stay in their own home live longer happier lives. They would be very stressed having to move home. Also those asking why the family didn't sort it out. Remember we have no idea of their circumstances x
@@AB-ol5uz Exactly that too 👍
@@alibali193 Yes I have heard that before much better for you to stay in familiar surroundings.
Dear lord when you pan back to the house from the back yard then you can see just how much property it actually is! And it’s a LOT! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
To think I came upon this channel by chance in your pressure washing driveways era, instantly drawn to your kind & genuine character & attention to detail to now witnessing you literally breathing new life into people (Norman, Peggy, Jim & Jean) you're transforming lives as well as their gardens/homes 💯💜 I'm blown away by what you're all doing with pure love. I pray for your heart, health, happiness & all that's good. What you're all putting out into the 🌎 may it come back to you & your families a million times over 🙏🏽. Absolutely fantastic can't applaud you enough 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤❤❤
The joy and appreciation this man showed you. He's a new person. There is a special place in Heaven for people like you and all those who donated money to help this man. To me, this is how most people in the world are. I wish the media would show things like this on a daily basis. I really think it would boost the morality of many, and teach many that kindness, not nastiness, temper tantrums, and the like goes a long way. God bless all of you and Jim and Jean, from Pennsylvania, USA.
I agree! The world would be a much happier place xxx
I agree! from Idaho, USA.
Already made my donation on "GoFund me"! After his episode it'll surely reach the 70.000-goal to build a new conservatory! Unbelievable what you've achieved with your great channel, dear Ben!
Donating money is kind of easy if you can afford it - but digging out roots, building fences and cutting down a HUGE jungle with a lot of "surprises" to be found and carried out is a whole different dimension!!!
So great to see Jim really kind of "blossomed" (don't know if that's the correct English word as my mother's tongue is German). Seeing him helping a little bit and continue to serve food for the courageous helpers really brings joy to my heart! I know he's very sick too. But this whole project seems to bring him emotional strength!
And you "Flawless"-guys: YOU SIMPLY ROCK! Daddy as a Hercules statue carried by Ben was HILARIOUS!!! and Paul's answer to Ben's description of a root: "What a monster!" - Paul: "... and a root!" HILARIOUS!
And PS to Jim: You are no stranger to me as well!!! Hope so much that you and your wife will very soon be able to sit in the new conservatory, or even on your terrace and enjoy a new garden to regrow!!! From the bottom of my heart do I wish you both strength!
All the best to ALL OF YOU FROM VIENNA, AUSTRIA!!!
Wow! What a beautiful comment, and yes, "blossomed" is the perfect word.
@@Sue474 Thank you for your kind words!
6,000 to go
Hopefully they can get some free time from trades people
You said it all beautifully ❤
Thanks for the lovely comm. Best wishes back to you in Vienna
I’ve just checked out the go fund me page and it’s over 67000 pounds! What a wonderful community you have Ben! Plus Ian is donating his expertise free too. Thank you everyone for your help for Jim and Jean, it’s heartwarming to see ❤❤❤❤❤
The weight off Jim’s shoulders has given him a new lease of life. I love the sense of community. The world needs more people like this.
Note: It seems counterintuitive but I think most decking boards are designed to be placed ridged side down to help with air flow. Otherwise the ridges hold water and encourage moss
62k and counting this community has shown that there are good people in the world willing to help Jim who is no longer a "stranger" but a friend we're yet to meet!
🥳👏🏼🤗 Let’s Goooo!! It cost us so little bc there’s so many of us, but each dollar/pound makes a huge impact when it’s all added up! Thank you to every single person who has/can donate. It’s a wonderful feeling when you can give to someone in need d so deserving. ❤
a friend we're yet to meet... how lovely and spot on. would love to go and make jim and jean weekly teas
Over 67k tonight! 😁
@@lvlndco Three hours later - nearly 69.000. It would be a good idea, if Ben would buy a small excavator or a caterpillar, if theres money left. Would make things a lot easier for the gang.
@@MrDonkrypton target achieved 70k waiting to be spent on Jim and Jean! honestly i think we could have smashed through 100k with thos community!!
Jim we love you as much as we love the fabulous Ben and his crew of helpers, seeing them transform your garden and home into a place of comfort for you and your dear wife is better than watching anything on TV ❤
Couldn't agree more!! 😊
Absolutely!!!
Spot on! ❤
Jim is now my overseas Uncle! Whatever Jim needs, Jim gets!
That little clip of the toad climbing over the powertool could be a cute advert for Kress, that they're nature-friendly, and even nature knows it~
I'm sure the neighbors were extremely grateful for being able to reclaim their yard.
Like Jim, I was raised not to ask for help, and not to burden people. I have been put in a position, at times, of needing that help. And a friend convinced me. Some people get their joy like you do....helping people. For those people, whether it be helping with a meal, or things, or labor, or money.....to not let them help is to take away their joy. And I would not want to take away their joy. I should let them have that blessing that they get by blessing me. It has given me a lot of peace about receiving help.
I can not believe how big this yard is - it just keeps going & going! You are remarkable & I hope all 3 of you know how special you are.
YOU ARE GOOD SOUL JIM & YOUR MRS! WE LOVE AND CARE ABOUT YOU! IT MAKES US FEEL GOOD ALLOWING US TO HELP OUT AND KNOWING THINGS ARE BEING MADE BETTER. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US HELP. THIS IS THE BEST PART OF MY WEEK. I AM GLAD YOU LET US HAVE A SHARE IN THIS! I WILL SUPPORT BEN IN ALL HIS ENDEAVORS. SENDING OUR LOVE FROM TEXAS!
You and your dad are FLAWLESS. ! Thank you for your service
Come on people, give it a thumbs up!
Every time never fail 👍
I love this series of garden makeovers and am a very happy donor to the cause. You kindness is a blessing all round - to the lovely fruit and sandwiches Jim gives the boys to the team showing us how to make things. I love it all.
What an amazing job you're doing!! It's wonderful that so many people have donated to Jim and his wife's room so they can be together. Hope we get to meet Jean!
Absolutely ADORE Jim. It kind of breaks my heart a little when Jim gets upset at how much people care. We do it because we love you ❤
Jim, we’re not strangers, we’re family now! ❤
Yes definitely
Just heartwarming how you gents continue to change Jim & Jeanne's lives with all this hard work!!! Jim looks healthy and equally as important, HAPPY (re-energized,) and has positive tasks to look forward to! One can see the spunk in his step as he has all of you to interact with whether helping with simple project tasks, having a laugh thanks to Paul or simply making a new friend in the other member of Team Jim to interact with. Being able to contribute in any way has given meaning to life for him and it's all because of Flawless Cleaning UK!!! BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU all for giving Jim a new lease on life! You've realized quite the dream and rallied the troops which is a lovely thing to watch. A big thank you hug to ea of you for all of this hard work. All the best and excited to watch the next Jim & Jeanne episode! Hope you'll invite the previous project recipients to see the results @ Jim's. Til next week.
That stone wall down the back looks like its just blocks stacked on blocks!!
This story really gives me a smile every time I see an update though. No matter what; every time you (with great physical effort over great investments of time and energy we really cannot appreciate on a speed up time lapse video!) dig through the brush and debris and find tons of other stuff to deal with ... you all just smile, take a second to catch your breath ... and then just get cracking again for days at a time. Really really inspiring watching it.
And I love that good old Jim is determined to get stuck in and help out even if in some small way. Just wonderful to see. Throwing another 50 quid your way
My hands and shoulders ache from watching you men do this work! I did this on my own house 22yrs ago. Ivy had choked the entire east side of my yard, killed 2 magnificent trees and ruined 108 feet of fence. It took an entire summer to remove it by myself and cost me hundreds in disposal fees. I was able to save one tree but not without the help of professionals. So having said that, what your team did is nothing short of amazing.
Jim is such a sweet man. You can really see how thankful he is for all of this help, because we all know he would have had it all done on his own when he was young. Older people(especially men) have such a hard time asking for help because it hurts their pride, but you can really see that he knew he truly NEEDS this help. He absolutely appreciates every thing that is being done for him and his wife. I'm so so glad you've been able to help them!❤❤
This was so much to do. WIthout you, Jim's house would have been totally taken over by nature. I'm so glad for Jim. You all are heroes. God bless you all
My late parents were in the helping professions in addition to being community advocates. My mother reminded me one her death bed to never forget that we are all here to help one another. Watching someone lift the burdens of others like you’ve done for Jim and Jim has reminded me of their lessons.
*sorry -- Jim and Jean
Keep it going people !!!!! Let’s pass £70k to have enough for go fund fees and finish the job!
It just got there!
Jim reminds me so much of my dad, he was also called Jim, was the sweetest, kindest man to ever exist, also had terminal cancer and both of these men were born a month apart. It's been such a joy to watch Jim become so much happier spending time around Ben, his dad and Paul. Watching these videos each week gives me so much happiness to be reminded so much of my dad. The community spirit within this channel is fantastic and far beyond anything I could have ever imagined, well done Ben, we're all so proud of you and we're all supporting Jim and can't wait to see his reaction when your fantastic plans are complete. Thank you for allowing us to be a part in helping you make this dream come true!
I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos every Friday. Watching you, your Dad, and all the others help so many people out of such difficult situations just warms my heart. I get so excited to see the progress made each week til the projects are finished. You all are making such a difference in so many people's lives....even ours who watch your videos each week. I wish Jim and Jean the very best. I cant wait to see everything finished for them so they can be together downstairs and they can enjoy their garden again. Many Blessings to you, your Dad, and your family, Ben. ❤✝️
You aren't just blessing Jim and Jean, but also all those neighbors who share a fence line who will not have to fight the vines coming on to their property now . I can't believe the job you have done so far. You have developed quite a dedicated hardworking crew. God bless you all.
Jim, your joy and your virtual hug is more than enough reward for the little I contributed to your new addition ❤❤❤
I wish we could all send Jim postcards from where we’re from with some positive/heart felt words that could be put in a photo album for him & Jean to treasure and see the love.
Great idea!!
Be a big album 😁
What a wonderful idea. I would be in 👍
This is an amazing idea, we need a PO Box we can all send things to as gifts for the people they're helping!
And it is even higher now. Ben you and your family/friends have given so much to so many. Bless you. Jim and Jean are a very deserving couple.
OMG you did it !! Over 70K now 🥳🥳 Amazing.. Im so Happy for The team, but most and for all for Jim and Jean... they deserve it so much
Blessings to all of you who helped Jim and Jean! To the workers and donators, you are wonderful!
I love how Jim's personality is coming out more and more each week. He's feeling so much lighter.
I cannot tell you how much this makeover means to me. Every time I cry to see the joy on everyone’s faces. I can see the difference in everyone’s demeanor as each episode is shown. Jim’s energy has increased so much. He looks younger every episode. Can’t wait for the next one.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people do not know how to use ridged decking. When the ridges are on top they do in fact hold water and encourage the growth and retention of algae, lichens and moss, which creates a slippery, dangerous and unsightly deck. That planking *was* *never* *intended* to be installed that way, *it* *is* *not* grip tread, it was never invented for that purpose. The ridges are in fact drip lines, their purpose is to be on the underside, to draw water away from collecting in, on and between the understructure, posts, bridging, joists etc. Initially the product was being used correctly then someone decided it looked cool upside down, and the rest is history.
That's a very good point you have made, you are knowledgeable about what you are saying. Yes, it can become slippery and difficult to clean when the ridges are facing up. 👍👍🏼👍🏾
This is the best community ever, every one of you rock!
We love Jim.... Donating again today .. lets reach the goal and make this happen asap. I don't donate to charity anymore I donate to real people and causes so thanks Ben
You group of men are a blessing to people and I love this very much. Thank you all for being caring people with love of human life.
I just love you guys! That yard must have been amazing in its hey day! Would love to see some photos. I enjoy seeing Jim out there with you, getting "stuck in." You're fixing homes and healing hearts. *Knight and Sons* are heroes in my book. The amount of stuff they've hauled away - I can't even imagine.❤
Jim you aren't a stranger anymore. The fund now is £63,000 and looks like more donations are coming in. That was really great the architectural firm donated their services. Unreal!! I truly have loved watching these episodes! 🤗🙏🥰
6:11 What a wonderful world we STILL live in! People really are innately good! Way to go Ben!! If you want to feel good about being alive, just watch Ben's videos. I love in California and my husband and I watch his videos to get a boost of kindness! I love Ben's motto.... kindness really does ripple like a stone thrown in a pond. Be kind and do good, always!
Can't say the same about governments.
That is exactly how I feel about it. Watching Ben’s videos makes me feel more positive, and then I want to go out and do something for my community. Not on this scale, of course, but every little bit helps. 😊 💛
❤❤❤agree! I’m in Florida, U.S. Ben is a hero. Opps. And his dad. 😂😂
@@bettinafullerton6452 Please don’t bring politics into this feel good video 🤷🏽♀️ It’s all around us all day every day this is where we come to forget about the world for awhile.
@@Wickgirl65You don’t need to be rude. Talk politics somewhere else.✌️
How fantastic to help change life for this couple! You all have done more than one would ever expect. Thanks for all that you have done for Jim and Jean!
You three guys are the absolute best! I can't believe how hard you all worked on Jim's yard. Clearing out all those roots was extremely hard work. I can't believe you removed them. Now, JIm won't have to worry about them growing back. Again, thank you for helping Jim and doing such wonderful work.
I know it’s a bit overwhelming Jim, but we all really want to do this for you! And when we do it as a big group, it’s easier for everyone!
It makes me feel good knowing I can help from afar…so don’t think you’re the only one getting something positive from this experience!😀
Thanks Ben for all you and your crew do!
The latest Gofundme update is simply amazing and answer to prayer! Thank you for donating your expertise SL Architectural Ltd! Thank you also Kress for the tools and PAul and Sons for taking away TONS and TONS!
Kudos to all of you. The community you are building is wonderful. YOUR DAD IS AWESOME, HILARIOUS, such a good sport.
