I have a sneaky feeling that family will get their whole house redone. Beautiful. The love those boys have for George for helping mummy was beautiful!🥰
That was simply unprecedented what Mr Lopa's son did for the family , in memory of his father. WOW...There's a sign of someone with real character and integrity. George , I understand that you are a professional TV host , and could most likely be as comfortable as a team member on :this old House" or some other show. But I hope you realise the lives you are touching , and changing as a result of this Rescue program. It is television like this that fulfills what programming should always be about . People!!
Ok so I wasn't crying until the end. Mr. Lopa you raised an amazing son. You should be very proud. May you rest in peace.
People gave this a thumbs down? Like 12 people? Wow, they should be ashamed of themselves. Amazing episode!!!
Who knows. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Now 60
just ignore the negativity. it's still a great story and one of the best episodes. God bless.
George is the sweetest host ever. Paul has a heart of gold his father raised a good man. Very touching episode. ❤
Wow! Paul Lopa is an incredible human being. You have to be really selfless to do something like this right after losing your father!
Omg the end made me cry like a baby! How incredible of that contractor and his family. Wow
There have lots of good George to the rescue,but this has to be the best.
pauls dad passing sent me over the edge.
This was seriously amazing!! I have muscular dystrophy and live in a small apartment with my parents. As my disease progresses, my daily tasks are getting harder and having a house that's handicap accessible is seriously my dream!!! Not only to make it so i can live easier but to help my parents. My mom's back is horrible and she has to pull me out of our bath tub dead weight and it sets her back off for days. So happy for this family. I pray this will be my family one day...especially the bathroom!!!
I hope your prayers are answered soon!!💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻 I’m disabled too. I have EDS & I have 2 blown discs & 2 bulging discs and just found out my husband has a torn disc...so I feel for your mom as well as you. EDS is also progressive and it sucks! Although I know MS is disabling my faster & more severely as before I was disabled I cared for MS patients as a nurse & now have a friend with it. I pray for a cure or at least a better treatment that restores some lost function & slowly progression of MS.🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
Rogue Wolf she said she has muscular dystrophy not MS. MS is multiple sclerosis. I also have EDS I feel your pain fellow spoonie 🥄
You can get a bathtub chair in the meantime
I hope you get what you wan. Gad Bless you and your family
That bed is fantastic. Thank God for technology.
I know right?! I wonder if it’s voice activated or has an adaptation he can use his head/mouth to control? Or if it’s just programmable to shift his position every so often?🤔🤔🤔 Before becoming disabled I was a nurse both in the hospital & in people’s homes & that bed would’ve literally saved people’s LIVES! Ive seen patients die from infected pressure sores & pneumonia from staying in one position too long 😞😢 And this bed helps prevent BOTH!!💕💕💕
This was the most amazing home reno for a family that truly deserved it! Great job George & crew!!!!
George! You were trying not to cry and I couldn't help myself. You are certainly surrounded by so many selfless people that give and give and always receive more back form these rescues. Your hearts and souls will forever be looked upon as Angels! Thank you for giving the family what they needed to live more comfortably.
To hear at the end of this vlog about Mr Lopa passing away and what his son Paul and family requested, wow my faith in humanity has gone right through the roof, to think of this and to continue working with the heart ache Paul has to work through, its people like Paul Lopa that makes you want to get up in the morning. REST IN PEACE MR LOPA.
Well said
Thanks that was very nice of you
Caro papa Amein n💕🙏🏽
I'm crying like crazy now but wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who has so gladly donated time, knowledge, supplies, money and themselves to this wonderful project! Best wishes for a happy future!!
Sorry for your loss, Mr. Lopa. This is a beautiful house. He will have such freedom with that bathroom and bed!
You really bring people together, fantastic this rescue, and all of your crew special Mr. Paul Lopa. You guys are great.❤❤❤
So very beautiful, God Bless you all and May the Lord comfort Paul Lopa and his family
Wish there were a love button. Amazing what that contractor did. 💖 God bless him, and the rest of the team.
Glad to hear you're loving GTTR! Have you subscribed yet? ❤️
@@GeorgeToTheRescue long since :)
So happy that this happened for your family! You are truly blessed. I became a paraplegic when I was 18. I was hit by a drunk driver and went off the side of the mountain. I live independently but my house is not accessible, my ramp coming in is not even done correctly. It’s hard to be at home but never feel at home. I make it work because I have no choice. I am so glad you will not have to feel like that anymore! So welcome home! I wish all of you the best and thanks to George for making this happen!
My heartfelt and deepest sympathy goes out to Paul and his family over the bbn loss of his father . He must have been a really great man because he certainly raised a very caring son like you Paul! Bless your heart!! Thank you!!;)
Love you George, together with the sponsors for helping this family and the rest of the projects you did and will do in the future. God Bless you and your sponsors.
In tears, every best wish to this young man for the future and to the contractor so much respect, RIP Mr Lopa xx
George you are an angel, helping people to have the best life possible. I have watched all your episodes and to help people who need help.
Mr. Lopa ; you raised a fantastic son with a good heart. Thank you for that and you rest in peace
Them feels. What an amazing community!!
Breaks my heart. That poor kid. I cried the most with this one. Thanks George, this is great!
As soon as I click on one of your episodes George, I automatically hit the like button even before I even start watching the video. :D God bless you ever so much for helping all these wonderful people!
Aww George, you didn't get the hugs you are used to.. that's ok..I can tell your's and the family's hearts were full even without the hugs..Paul Lopa's family are such special people to think of others, even while they themselves are hurting..You truly meet the best families and work with the best people.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
WOW their home was remodeled beautifully!
I'm bawling!! The Lopa family has touched me in a way no one ever has. I have gained strength and understanding from this episode. The world IS full of good people. Helping people like this family is why George To The Rescue" is so important. George, you have the biggest heart of any man I've ever met in my life. God Bless all the people ad companies that made this rescue a success. PS" I loved the tile in the kitchen,!!!
So much loss and so much love. Not only for the family who were rescued but for the Lopa family who gave throughout their time of grieving. You are inspiring and true humanitarians ❤😇
What an incredible gift in the name of Mr. Lopa! My heart is so full! In this day and time where it seems that negativity is prevalent, a show like this highlights the true condition of the human spirit and heart. I thank God for people like George and all those who come along side him (Paul Lopa) to make these life changing miracles happen. Thank you for letting your life shine!
Oh man, you guys make me cry every time I watch your rescues, but particularly for someone like this who has lost the freedom he once had through an accident. I can't imagine the amount of frustration he must have experienced and to give him back some measure of his lost freedom must feel so great for him. Thank you for another beautiful job for him and the whole family.
oh wow!!! what an amazing episode!!! love this show more and more
RIP Frank Lopa. 🙏 This George to the rescue is by far the most touching .I hope the family get the most from their renovated down stairs , now I'd really like to see George go back and do the upstairs for the family . So much to deal with at such a young age and dealt with with a smile too. I wish wish wish George to the resume would come to the UK . I need you and your team George . But I know that won't happen your country needs you.
We have DIYSOS (BBC) that do the same thing
Thank you!
Oh my goodness, I have cried like a baby! Best episode yet! Thanks George and all the wonderful people, especially the contracter that list dad and still continued rescuing this family! Everyone, what a wonderful job!
I’m addicted to this beautiful series 💜
Oh wow! Tears, again! This was a wonderful renovation. The end just did me in. Blessings and love to you all. RIP Mr Lopa. 🙏💕🌍🕊
Wow that man has heart.
Wow They went ABOVE & beyond!
God bless George and all his crew 🙏 l know how hard it is to not have a wheelchair accessible home and the restroom is a very important upgrade to have....
(to James) Like, even though your spine is hosed, you're totally awesome. Way to go, babe!
This was an amazing episode. Condolences to the Lopa family.
💜🙏🏽.. blessings..
Wow! Very deserving young man and family. The ending... I'm through. But this is how we survive, and move forward. We each do what we need to and, TOGETHER, we get thru this thing called life.

💖💖💖💖🏆🏆🏆🏆
God bless you all GTTR
This episode very heartwarming 💗💗💗
Glad you enjoyed it, Jen! ❤️
RIP Have a question in the beginning of the story was told about took a car ride with his friends what happened to them that's my question these are paralyzed now
Y’all did an AMAZING job!!💕💕 And bless Paul & his family for all they did despite the personal loss they endured. His father raised an amazing giving son. I know this video is a couple months old but I know from losing my dad you grieve for a long time so prayers for Paul, his entire family & everyone who knew his dad. 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
-Concerning the build I just have one question though...why didn’t y’all do some voice activated lighting & tv controls for his room? Or did he already have Alexa(or similar device) to do that? Also...is the bed voice activated? I know that YOU couldn’t MAKE the bed voice activated of course. But I would think the company that makes the bed WOULD KNOW *THAT* would be a *NEEDED* function for a quadriplegic. Unless it has some adaptation for being controlled via his mouth or head. Just curious. *NOT* criticizing in *ANY WA* bc y’all did an absolutely AMAZING job!!💕💕
-As someone who is also disabled who needs to use crutches nearly all the time I know the struggle of living in a house that isn’t really assessable. 😕 I *should* be using a wheelchair part of the time but it just isn’t possible inside my house. Plus I can’t afford a wheelchair bc when I *do need* to use one I can’t use a manual chair and even the cheapest electric is close to a thousand dollars. With all my medical bills & me not being able to work it’s just not feasible. 😞 And bc I.. 1)Don’t need a chair full time & 2)My illnesses that affect my mobility, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome(EDS) & unspecified type of severe dysautonia, aren’t really well known or understood...my ins doesn’t want to pay ANYTHING on a manual wheelchair. Much less an vastly more expensive electric chair! Heck I had to buy my new crutches myself bc my ins was like “We paid for crutches for this same issue 3.5yrs ago use those” 🙄😒😒 Like they don’t wear out with constant use!🤨😒 Also they were the basic standard crutches which are no long the best style to use long term. So with some help from family I got some new ergonomic under the arm crutches AND some great forearm crutches which are great. But on really bad days...I really need a wheelchair. Instead I’m left stuck in bed. Both of these illnesses are *EXTREMELY* unpredictable. I could be having a rare great where I’m functioning without my crutches & take 1 step & my hip fully dislocate. Which if that causes me to fall hard it often cause my knee &/or shoulder to dislocate as well. Which while me & my husband have been trained by my drs & PT to put joints back in place, recently dislocated joints are weak & tend to want to dislocate again so they have to be braced/immobilized for at least a few days or up to weeks/months. And of course the extreme pain such dislocations & resulting falls cause lasts for days to weeks as well. If both a hip or knee go out as well as one of my shoulders or ribs...it make using crutches very painful or impossible. As well as using a manual wheelchair. 😕
Another thing is I could bend over, get startled or even just sneeze and that can set of my dysautonia. Causing my heart to race suddenly up to 175+ best per minute & my BP to suddenly drop very low...causing me to become very weak or even pass out...especially if I’m standing. And that can last for hours to days. Of course this CAN start when I’m sitting or even laying down but the danger is when I have to stand as which the combo of EDS & dysautonia when I stand the mechanisms that keep the blood from all rushing to my lower body/legs doesn’t work properly...especially during an episode. So having to get up & even walk to the bathroom often results in falls..which results in dislocations...which in turn makes it more likely for me to fall again causing even more injuries. It’s a vicious cycle. 😞 So you can see how having a wheelchair would help right? EXCEPT my house was built in the 50s with a large addition added in the early 90s that doubled the size of the house...but the addition is 2 steps LOWER than the original part of the house & the bathroom/utility room at that end of the house is ANOTHER step down🤦🏻♀️. The doorway & hall in the original part are SUPER narrow and the bathroom is literally 7’ wide & 11” deep so there is barely any room. The newer one is more open BUT is unfinished & now is currently unusable. 🤦🏻♀️😞🤦🏻♀️ And no money to fix/finish/alter the house as we can barely afford mine & my husband’s medical care as he also has health issues & is a cancer survivor. My disabled mother ALSO lives with us...originally so *I* could help take care of *her*...but now it’s more like we just all help each other the best we can and *PRAY* we dont *ALL* get sick/injured all at once!😕 Because those 2 are far from my only illnesses...just the 2 that affect my actual mobility.
So...I *TOTALLY GET* what the people they help who have mobility issues or are forced to spend a *LOT* of time at home and/or in bed are going thru. Also before my illnesses got so severe & caused me to be disabled I was a fire fighter/EMT then a Paramedic then an ER nurse(RN) as well as an in home carer/nurse for hire. So I also know their struggles from that aspect too. That progression of jobs is because of the increasing physical limitations my body developed. Even after I had to stop being even a part time nurse I went back to school to try and get my Masters in Clinical Psychology so I could be a psychology & provide counseling to people. I even had secured a job with a company that provides counseling services via video chat, voice only calls & even text which would allow me to work from home...even from my bed if needed. But my health suddenly got worse and I had to drop all my courses. That was 4yrs ago & Im only now, in the last 6 month, beginning to get well enough to consider going back to try and finish. But grad school is very expensive. 😕😕 I truly know money can’t buy happiness & the most important things in life money can’t buy...*BUT* boy does it make life easier and dreams, comfort, quality healthcare & accessibility *SO MUCH EASIER!* 😕😕
Anyway...if ANYONE read this far your amazing. 💕😂 I guess I just needed to share my story too. I’m also operating on only around 5hrs of sleep in 72hr(aka 3 days) which may have something to do with it. But George u and your crew do amazing things for amazing people! Keep up the great work!💕💕 I wish only the best for this family & all the families you help. 💕❤️💕 And I hope anyone reading this has a great day/night, that any struggles u are facing get better & wish you all the best too. 💕💕
I wish you could help someone in Canada
LOL georges wall kick
This was beautiful,, I cried
Have to admire a business with the name "T&A"! Sure hope this was intentional.

So amazing
😭🥰

Watching these shows, and the house flipping shows, NO WAY I would ever buy a house that has been flipped. Esp from that guy in San Antonio. There is so much that needs to be done right....and that is costly. No way they take the care that George to the Rescue does.
SOME do. But you WILL PAY for all the extra care & effort they put in though. 😕 Which if it’s just being done as a way for someone to make a living...makes sense and is fair. Time & effort does = $$$ 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Which makes the fact that George & his crew do this at zero cost to the family all the more amazing!💕💕💕
Every tool guy watching this is going to cringe to see the acorn nut being turned with vice grips, lol!
Where I live no one helps people. If guess my house 60 years or more. I've had 30 years but never had money to fix anything. . Oh well. It's a dream to have but I know dreams don't come true. I know
As great as it is to retrofit a house, it would seem far more logical and efficient long term to move to a single story fully accessible home even with the reality of having to leave a neighborhood. They probably could have bought a custom house far more suitable for their needs for the same money that was poured into these renovations.
