Two weeks ago I was within a few dollars of being homeless. By sheer luck I found a decent job and I think I'm going to make it. It'll take me a couple months until I'm stable, but I promise I'll remember your example when I am and do what I can. Thank you brother.
Usually I can't stand to see people film themselves while they're giving out food or money because I feel like it's bringing recognition to themselves but the way you handled it was very compassionate and I appreciate you helping people out
Praise God. Honestly its not hsrd to hit bottom and it can happen FAST. IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD AND PLEASE TRY TO PUT A FEW BUCKS AWAY FOR EMERGENCIES. Even if its 10 bucks here, 20 bucks there. It adds up. If you ever got sick ir hurt you wont be homeless!! God bless you!
I had one homeless woman run screaming from me.. and more than one homeless person refuse food because they say people try to poison them. I finally showed one that I just bought the fruit from a grocery store and let him choose which one he wanted for him to take it. Mental illness is a HUGE factor, and I'm old enough to remember when they literally closed thousands of mental hospitals back in the 80s and put a lot of people in the streets. Sad state of our world. Thank you for the work you do.
I shared with my 28 yr old son. he's just getting life going. drugs took him to the wrong place but hes back o. track and has been clean for about 4 years. my oldest died of a drug OD at 34. so I'm glad my younger boys cleaned up. just a bit behind. I find your words inspiring. thank you!
When I retired, I started a car service. It's of long-distance trips. When driving alone I spent a lot of time talking with God. The world is his house & we had lots of fruitful conversations. I rarely went to church as he is everywhere, especially in my car. Now, I am spending time at home & still spend time with him. I feel that he has kept me going all these years. No matter what, it is never loose faith. He is always with you. After all, you are mowing his lawns...
Seeing you do that for homeless people, hits home cause I was there just not to long ago for 5 years.. In 5 years I ran across only 1 person like you. They gave me their left over food from an expensive China restaurant n $20, made my day n made me cry... Thank you for showing that part of you... Much love brother.
Ditto. Had someone walk up to me sleeping on a park bench with a hot meal in winter once. Sure I had a crippling heroin addiction at the time, but the possibility of someone choosing to get sober like I have is there. Now that I'm better off I give back when I can.
Thanks for the beginning of the video, a great reminder that we can do something kind for someone else. Cause it could be any one of us at any point in life. 👍
My Dad always said, “Making a difference is easy, all you have to do is be of service to others.” It is a code we live by. It warms my heart to watch your videos and listen to your down to earth philosophy. Thank you.
It does. It also illustrates how fucked up the US has become in the last several decades. The uber-wealthy have trained the poor to devour each other. "Spared no expense."
My mother was a mortgage banker during the early 1990's recession. She lost almost everything when her company collapsed. We spent a few months in a K car until her friend put us up long enough for Mom to get back on her feet. I remember being on assistance. Even as a young child, I felt shame and shamed by people who judged us at the supermarket. I'll never forget those days. Like he said about his shirt: remember where you came from. I recognize my succes is a combination of hard work, privilege, and luck. Many simply don't have that fortune. Always lend a hand to those in need rather than punch down. I know I benefitted from it.
Long story short, I was on the verge of homeless with nothing but the clothes on my back. I'm okay now but will never forget the terror of those days. There were a few people who showed me small acts of kindness. I cannot overstate how much that was worth to me. The gesture itself was welcome of course. What mattered more was that someone cared enough to help. The food filled my belly but it was the kindness from a total stranger that restored my hope and warmed my heart. Go through your days being as kind as you can be to those you meet. You can always be generous of spirit even if your wallet's empty. See if you can make them light up with a smile. You cannot know how close a person is to the edge or how the slightest nudge will lift them up or knock them down.
Just started watching yesterday . Do not let anyone make you feel bad for being a good man. I’m a union worker in NY my wife just got her masters degree at 47 years old . People look at us with envy for trying to do good in life. Someone is always trying to rain on your parade. I wish you the best brother god bless.
Having been lucky to have a car while being homeless, it was one of the most traumatic situations, even after the abuse that made me homeless. So thank you for seeing us. We feel so invisible and judged.
People don't realize how detrimental it is for some folks to not have a car. I'm so fortunate to have the car I have even if it's temporary, because I've been without a car before & I've been homeless & honestly I think I'd choose being homeless over being without a car.
@@lauracresswell9699 it's hard to explain, but if I had to make the choice, I feel like I would be more independent with a car instead of a home. Because I could live in the car & I can use my car for work but I can't drive a house & it's REALLY inconvenient to constantly ask for a ride or find public transportation or set up a ride to get to an appointment, the store, walk long distances, etc. Idk. I know it sounds ridiculous though.
@@BeeTeePee funny how the law works with this too, isn't it? "Borrow" somebody's property for a while to live and you get a simple trespass or asked to leave... Yet try to "borrow" a car for a minute and you land straight in jail. I think I'd rather have the car, too!
You had me in tears within the first couple of seconds. I grew up with a grandma who always told me that if you have clothes on your back, a roof over your head and food in your tummy you are lucky and if you see someone not as lucky, you help them. She grew was lived through the great deperssion and if it had not been for the fact that her family owned land and farmed, they would not have had anything. She taught me about giving. It is rare to see acts of true kindmess. The world needs more love, less hate and more people like you!
There's two types of homeless thd ones who are homeless but eventually find a place and the crack head who purposely homeless because he keeps smoking his rent you have to distinguish from the two
I’m fairly new to your channel and am enjoying it. I was thinking, maybe instead of mowing vacant places, you might contact CASA, HUD, or senior organizations in your town and ask if anyone needed lawn-care and couldn’t afford to pay for these services. Oncologists or hospitals might be able to tell you if cancer patients need help for a while during chemo treatments. I wish there was a national volunteer help site where people could volunteer a little of their time each week in each city, and those needing it could find a little help. Not just lawn-care, but carpentry, painting, dog walking, etc. So many people want to help, and so many need it, but nobody knows where to look for either one. Sorry about the long rant. You are doing a fine thing, and are to be commended.
nah hes too busy filming hisself giving 100$ bills to "homeless" people, you know, the folks that stand around at intersections pretending to be down on their luck and splitting whatever they get with the criminal gang that oversees the 'homeless' grift for that area, and spending the rest on bad smack and hotel rooms
@@rickdeckard1075 That’s pretty harsh. He’s doing a good thing while earning a living, and seems a kind man. He helps those in need when he can. You can’t fault him for making videos. That’s how he supports his family and gives to the homeless.
I had my own painting business for 7-8 years and I often wished I could afford to volunteer my services to people the couldn't afford it. This is very inspiring to me. Covid knocked me out of my ability to be self contracted, because I have essentially been a single mother and very little money went back into my business growth, but I will get back out there. I will get to his point. I will find my way. Thank you sir. I have always helped the homeless. I have never done it for anything other than the sake of helping. You are doing Gods work, sir! I salute you!
@@rickdeckard1075 he's doing a nice thing and them sort are the ones that ruin it for people that are just down on their luck and not in a good spot cause they are the ones that need the help but people always think they are doing bad with the money which some might but not all
@@rickdeckard1075 He has to film it because UA-cam is how he gets his money. He takes the worst places because they are the most sensational to fix up and justify a clickbait title, meaning he gets more money. It is not a ploy for attention. It could be, but given how UA-cam works it is not necessarily so. And it is hard to argue that lawn care is bad: it keeps a place clean, clears drains, and makes a yard walkable.
I don't know if you realize it but these are some life changing videos. I remember being inspired by the message when you cut the mini golf course but this message while cutting the yard with deflated 🏀 basketball, well it feels like you are saving my life. I had decided to give up on all my dreams of getting healthy, relationships, God and living life to the fullest. Then I started watching this "I found a house--free overgrown yard mowing". The message I am hearing now is letting me know I've just hit a bump in life's road and there are many more to come and I need to buck up, find solutions and keep moving forward. Thank you and thank your wife because I know you could not do what your doing if she wasn't doing her part. Thank you both and keep up the good work.
Watch your channel from Northern Ireland!! You are a living example of the expression, “in a world where you can be anything, be kind.” Keep up the amazing work!!
OMG. You're spot on. I became homeless after my mom died because I went into a deep depression for a very long time. I am still struggling to this day. I discovered that callousness that you just spoke of.. now I want to say that I did come across some very nice empathetic and caring people who did help me through that but there were far more people who would be downright abusive to me. Most people would tell me about all the funding that was available to me. Well, guess what folks? That is a myth. There is not government funding for homeless people. The women's shelter in my area are for domestic abuse victims. There isn't a shelter here for a woman who hasn't been abused. There is no money to apply for. I honestly don't know what the answer is, but I do know that if more people did what you are doing it darn sure wouldn't hurt anything. So thank you for all you do to help others! You are making a difference.
You and your wife seem like genuinely kind people. There is so much talk nowadays about who is and isn't deserving of help and kindness. And you don't care about that and just give fearlessly. The world would be a better place if more people were like you.
I normally wait till the end of the video to comment but I’m crying for your compassion and the humanity that you gave to these homeless ppl. You’re absolutely right. We haven’t walked in their shoes and we haven’t a clue as to what they’ve been thru. My son was homeless and living in his car at a rest stop just a few miles from our home. He was too embarrassed to tell me and my husband. It was February in northeast Ohio. The day he came by to “visit” was just to say hi. He stayed to eat got a shower and just before he was leaving he asked if he could spend the night. My husband sensed he had no where to go. The weather was forecasting 6 inches of snow and 10 degrees. He stood up and I asked “are you homeless Joey”? He said yes. My husband said ok but just for the night. Your life style is not conducive with ours and we have 3 others boys and we don’t want your influence on them. He said He understood and said thank you. My husband stood up and hugged him and said “Joey, we love you! And this is killing your mom”! His knees buckled and my husband was holding him tight! My ex husband NEVER told him he loved him. This husband ALWAYS loved him and my son excepted it and turned his life around. That was 18 yrs ago and he has a good life now. I don’t know but Dear God in heaven I hope someone gave my son a little smile at least when he was homeless. Let’s all be a little like Kevin and show some compassion and empathy to the needy. And if nothing else … just tilt your head and smile to them.
You are absolutely right when you say that we are only one mistake away from being just like them. An illness or injury can change your life in an instant and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Treat others with the same respect that you want to be treated with. We are all on the same journey.
This yard is 100% improved!! No need to apologize for anything, period. Equipment failures are a given in the lawn care field, and you figured out a work around! I love your big heart in helping others whether it is free lawn care or a burger and $, shows me your compassion!
In all the videos I've watched so far I see you helping others and I cant applaud you enough. Good deeds don't go unnoticed. Like you said in the video It makes you fell better as well as helping others. I really enjoy watch you as you enjoy what you do for others. You are a breath of fresh air during your commentary as you joke around and smile, its rare these days.
As someone who has struggled with being cynical for most of my adult life, your videos are a true blessing. You give me hope for mankind. You, your crew, and your family are in my prayers. God bless.
Ur wife is just too cute!!! And the inspirational teachings r kicking my butt!!! I had not realized how complacent I had become. Thank u for all the blessings and good deeds that you are putting out in the world! You are an inspiration!!!
You’re doing what I wish I could be doing I’ve been in a nursing home and it makes my heart jump with joy to see you doing that. Me and my little grand niece used to go around giving food to the homeless and a little money I wish I could’ve given out 20s but I was on SSI myself but I was living at my mom‘s house so l was so blessed, to be able to give them food and stuff. My little niece, she was just a little three year old and she, ‘say auntie let’s get him hamburger’I could go on and on but I won’t God bless you
Your patience is admirable dude..when its that hot, sweaty, itchy and miserable, and equipment keeps acting up, anyone else would lose it and pack up the truck….. Why your videos are enjoyable, you keep at it!
I never imagined I would be watching a lawn mowing, lawn service UA-cam channel lol 😂 but you are such a kind, genuine, fun and generous good human I just have to support you and I had to subscribe. The world needs more people like you! Keep up the kindness 🫶🏼
Don't let the professional trolls and haters get you down. No one cares what they say. They're like never-ending negativity -- I feel sorry for them. How horrible it must be to have nothing nice to say about anything or anyone!
As somebody who spent years on and off of the streets I appreciate everything you do. Helping those who need it is what we should all be doing if we have the means.
I usually watch you before I sleep because of how satisfying your videos are, I did not click on this today expecting to cry like a baby. We all go through rough times in our lives, seeing these people who have hit rock bottom is absolutely heartbreaking. Keep being such an amazing person, you never know how badly someone needs your kindness ❤️
I typically watch videos at 2x speed. Especially videos like this where it takes a while to do. You had asked for a comment, so enjoy the bit of read (I comment very little). I had paused the video to do this 🙂 I'm in the process of restoring a yard that fell to the wayside. I've been dabbling in lawn restoration videos due to the before/after so I don't lose motivation and possibly get some knowledge along the way. I'm nowhere close to professional, but my dad was quite the handyman and I've learned some tricks throughout my childhood. This restoration is being done all by hand as well as my tools for a restoration were nonexistent and money was tight when I started. I'm hand pulling weeds, asking friends with chainsaws to help cut down invasive trees (the city doesn't like them), and using all hand tools to edge, dig up parts of the heavier weeds, and dethatching the yard. I'm doing this because the owner was kind enough to extend their hand and home for myself and my family during a high conflict divorce. The job I had was ending, and I had to have a good attorney to help me through the case - so funds were super narrow for about two years. If the offer wasn't extended to me and my family, I would have been homeless and without my cat, who has been there for me since she was a kitten and helped me through one of the most difficult things in life. If the alternative would have happened, I know I would have broke as there wasn't another place for me to go. That simple act of kindness isn't forgotten and I do everything I can to help the homeowner out first. Once the lawn restoration is done, I already have it set up for someone to mow the yard so the homeowner doesn't have to (and a repeat occurs). I plan on doing more for the owner, because that one act of kindness has probably saved my life. I have two close friends who I've also reached out to during my difficult times, who both helped me immensely throughout that time in my life. In return, I help them whenever I can however I can. To anyone else, I seem fine. Not many people knows the extent of what happened or the affects I feel to this day from it. Life can get rough, and it beats people down very hard. To someone who is in hardship, a meal can mean the world of a difference. A simple act of kindness can mean the difference between total chaos and rising above it all. Seeing you hand out meals made tears come to my eyes. When you asked for a comment, I didn't hesitate. Your generosity is the reason for that mixed with your message from the last video I watched of "just go and start your business"
Hi Kevin. Im that 81 year old ladybthatvintroduced you to Dan Casc the heavy metal singer. At times here lately he and you have kept my head above water. My red blood cells are still low and the Doctors have not found out why. I am so tired all the time and can not do my yard work with my 10 rose bushes plus my lilac and many other flowering plants. I need you for the laughter you give me and Dan for hus AMAZING GRACE plus all of the other songsvthat get my heart the pump a little faster. You made me cry in a good way today. I LOVE YOU AND RACHEL. She isvavcery good wife and mother. THANK YOU. ❤❤❤❤❤
Kevin I have to say from another man's perspective you are a God send you let people see the struggles and help them realize we all have hard times. God bless brother
I cried my eyes out watching you feed the homeless... I became homeless with a full time job... I stood by my husband that is on a bad path...When he fell off on that bad path we owned our home ..owned and ran a very successful landscaping and lawn care business and as I said I had a full time job as well.. I am currently trying to get out of the situation but it's hard. As a spouse that doesn't do those things but feels stuck well let's just say it's a tough road but I am trying .. So to the ppl that wanna talk down to ppl down on their luck.. just stop and love one another.. Thanks for the content and thank God for ppl like you..
I’d love for you to do a drive by of this property now to show us what the realtor etc was able to do with it - landscaping, cleaning up the house itself. Did it sell? Anyone living there now? Would be really cool to see what happened to what you started! I really admire you for helping out so many homeless people with food and money. We never know what anyone else is going through or how they get to that place. Not ours to judge, but to lend a helping hand when we can. I try to do the same when I can. ❤️
The whole time you were telling us to make a wish I was wishing for you. The act of kindness you show towards people is unbelievable. Don’t let the haters get you down. They are just jealous of what you’re willing to do for the unfortunate. God bless you!
I love you and your wife. I came across your site by accident and fell in love with yall at the house where the cops had been called. Nice to know there are still good people in the world that do good just because. It made my heart soar and your video made my day.
Kevin, my wife was homeless In Oklahoma City for about a year. The Manager of an Arbys noticed she came in and washed in their bathroom daily. He asked if she was homeless, he offered her a job, and helped her to save her money which allowed her to get a run down place to live (She was so thankful to have anything). She was able to get back on her feet. Now she has a heart for the homeless because she knows what it's like (a big part of why I love her so much). Good on ya Kevin for having the heart to help them. It's not our place to judge them, but to show the love of Christ to them and let Him sort out all the rest. "Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:45-46 KJV God Bless you and Rachel & have a Happy New Year!! John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
I never thought I would enjoy sitting and watching someone mow grass, but I surely enjoy watching you! The most enjoyable thing to watch is your charitable spirit! You are inspirational! Thank you for doing the Lord’s work with a joyful heart. God bless you!🙏🏻
You two are precious! Thank you for being you! "...we live in a day and age where there's no compassion for anybody..." says the compassionate man. Again, thank you for what you do!
I would've probably ended up homeless if it wasn't for my family. Alcoholism did its thing with me as I allowed it to. Needless to say, 1 year sober this July 26th! Love what you do man, the world's a better place with you in it!
That brought me to tears! My daughter is living homeless right now. I've tried everything to help her and it seems like nothing works. Thank you for taking the time to help someone in need. Lots of love from Texas!!
It makes me feel good seeing that people care about the homeless, lots of people think “oh just get a job, oh he’s just an addict, why would anyone sleep on the streets” but the majority arnt addicts, they try to get jobs but are turned down almost every time, and they certainly didn’t choose to sleep on the sidewalks and streets, that’s the only thing they can do due to the circumstances they were delt with, it takes a really really really strong person to keep going on that way every single day, people just stare at you, people just walk on by without a care in the world, they just see a “useless” person begging for their change so seeing someone like you buying these unfortunate people food and throwing it in a video really makes me happy, especially because I know you do this often and leave it out of the videos so I hope when people see this video and what you’ve done for those people it inspires them to do the same if they are in a position to, or even just talk to some of these people, like I said earlier in my comment these people are incredibly down on their luck and most of them didn’t choose this life so anything at all can go a really really long way for them, if it’s something as simple as conversation for a while, hearing their story and just making small talk or something like a nice hot meal or a cold drink on a hot summer day I’m sure these people will forever be greatful that you gave them the time out of your day! I’ve talked to a few homeless people in my time and I’ve hardly ever been met with disrespect for trying to help or anything even close, every single person was super happy I even talked to them, they spend every day outside without talking to anybody other than their fellow homeless friends so when they get the chance to say something and talk to somebody they are all smiles and full of joy, I encourage anyone reading this comment or watching this video to at least try and better a homeless persons day, you talking to them or giving them food could mean the whole world for them and I will personally love you for helping someone out, there’s a lot of evil in the world today but hearing and seeing people help others in need really shows that there is a lot of good out there two! I hope everyone has a great day and a blessed life with lots of joy and happy memories!
You're a blessing for those around you, you leave a place better than you found it an it shows not only in your work but your walk through life. Much love an mad respect
I was there once, so this hit close to home! While getting back on my feet, I volunteered at homeless shelters and kitchens. I love giving back!! Yes, my heart melts, and my eyes leak!
This hits close to home with me as well. My brother and my mother were homeless. We grew up very rough. It’s good to see people there like you. Lord knows me need more people like you.
You're a good guy. The way people treat the homeless is despicable. They lost everything and are just trying to stay alive, and somebody like you comes along and even if just for a short time it makes them feel good again.
@@shadowsilverlight1651 I actually stop and give them a drink and a snack from 7-11 whenever I drive past where they are at if they are actually there. Now how many are you helping?? You come along and ask some stupid question like that like you're 5. Grow up.
Kevin, you are so full of mischief and I’d bet as a kid you drove your parents bonkers at times. You still have a big heart and work hard for your clients. You out do yourself every time. Keep up being the good guy, please. We need more like you. What I like most about you is you never give up. You find a way to continue what you start no matter how hard it gets.
I just found your channel this morning and am hooked. I am a 76 year old woman who use to manage my yard for years until my health interested. Just had back surgery so hoping I can get my hands dirty again soon. You are quite an inspiration. God bless you and your family and your business. You are a good man.
I don't see why people would say anything about you videoing what you are doing, you are still helping and watching a video of generosity usually motivates others to do the same. Keep up the good work 👏
I'm so moved to see a human being showing so much love towards total strangers. I hope this inspires others to follow this sort of kindness and selflessness. Good on you!!
It’s such a shame that so many houses like these are just abandoned. They probably have decent bones and would be a nice little place to live if they got some more love like this
Spot on, I worked so hard as a single mom. I did it, but so agree with your response. So many people need a place and here they are. So sad! I think he's opening it up for people who may be able to buy it!!!! Wonderful guy!
@@HosCreates well Missouri has better banking in small towns. I've worked with a couple of banks in my town and paid off things. It made a difference. So east side of Springfield houses are cheaper so it helps to look there first. Hope that helps somewhat??
Thank you for your kindness towards others!! I was homeless with my 5 kids 8 years ago, the right people were in the right place to get me through that time. When we lost everything and walked out of our home I told my kids I would buy them a home and we would never be homeless again, last September I purchased 1004 sq ft home for them!! Four of my kids live with me and all 5 of them are celebrating New Years Eve in our cozy new home 🏠❤️ Best feeling ever!! Never underestimate the power of kindness, and how far that carries those in need.
Kindness is also a double edged sword. My love and care for people also tends to get taken advantage of. I don't know what it's like to be homeless, but I don't like seeing others who are go without a meal, or even be freezing or burning up from the weather. I'm glad you were able to get back on the road again and please stay safe!
This may sound funny but I find it relaxing to see you help others ! Giving food to homeless is blessing in paying it forward ! Thank you for having a kind heart ! Having compassion toward others in this hateful world when people are like what’s in it for me ? You make a difference! It’s inspiring! Thank you!
It is more relaxing than you know not boring just calm voice cutting it is relaxing thank you 👍❤️🏀 also the homeless food delivery was awesome don't be afraid to show it maybe It will rub off on more people I totally believe God helps us to pay it forward 👍👍👍👍👍✋🏀💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you first off for helping those homeless Love watching your channels you are genuine individual who i can see enjoys helping individuals and the community with landscape issues for free,' when they are disabled , can't afford to and may lose their home. One has to have been in a low point in their life to realize what these folks are going through. This was such a huge job and wear and tear on equipment. Awesome work Kevin
You are terrific -- even when stuff just keeps breaking and amidst poison ivy and bugs. You're a good man. God bless you and your mission and your family... Rachel is adorable.
Some people probably think you're showing off that you do good but it's amazing what you did and do and it is great that you share that with your viewers because it inspires us to be like you. Keep doing what you do man. You inspire me to cut lawns and be a better human beings. Love you man.
Thank you for helping. My front yard is all Johnson grass...at least I know what it is. I've got to get out there and conquer my fear of a weed whacker.
I noticed when you talk about the homeless you're face shows it for real. You have some people that do it just for sure but as I listen to you I feel the words are from your heart. And when I do the same thing I don't buy meals but I do give funds as much as I can. It do make me feel like maybe I'm having a little bit. Like you said we don't know why they're there and it's not for us to question why. I can go on and on but I give you a thumbs up. Ms. Barbara
God Bless you young man. If the world had more people like you, it would be wonderful. I enjoy watching you doing gardens so much. Its so relaxing for me. My children have a giggle thinking their mom prefers watching lawns being mowed instead of getting stuck into a good movie, but truly, its a sort of ASMR for me. I love it! Wish you could do my garden, sadly I am too far in Australia. Cheers and thank you for all that you do.
Never, ever, forget where you came from. This can be a seriously slippery slope for those who didn't have much growing up and suddenly find themselves in a much better situation as an adult. And while I was far from being poor, let alone ever homeless, I went through this myself in my 20's. So, yes, I'm glad you spent the time to pick the burs and such off your shirt. Some would say you spent more of your own time doing that vs. just tossing it. I say it's something you could do largely on autopilot while watching a show and, most importantly, you're not being wasteful. BTW, my father used to order extra burgers from BK/McD's back in the day to share with the homeless. This usually went well; except for the occasional "I don't eat meat" or "do you have anything else" folks. My wife and I are big believers in giving to those we feel inclined to. Intuition I suppose. Lastly, "no guard, no balls" made me chuckle. After all, one errant rock could very well result in your twins suffering massive damage... so do take care.
I've said it once, I'll say it again, Kevin you rock! I've never seen anyone give their free time to do these videos like you. Your generosity shines through from your soul, on behalf of everyone here in the UK, God Bless You.
It's so true that we live in a society that lacks compassion and love for other people. It's easy to blame others because we feel uncomfortable about their situation, but everyone deserves compassion and respect. Thank you for your videos!!!
When you said we live in an age where there is no compassion....it hit me hard. Very true and it seems like when people do take the energy to help out others they are knocked down by those who do not understand the concept of humanity. I really beginning to understand that the meaning of purpose is a complex yet simple thing in each human being. Some struggle with gaining that understanding.
@@debbieleerepscher2549 unfortunately there are people who still would not grasp that rule just because their ego or agenda wont let them. Even when they get back the treatment they dished out, it is hard for them to extend themselves to see the karma they put out and choose instead to play the victim. I see so many times on social media and in life especially when it comes how people treat those who are struggling. Emotionally I feel there are people who are stunted for whatever reason and it hurts society.
This brings me to tears my dad is a veteran and he lived like this many years and today doctors called he has a short time to live. He struggled with drugs and lots of illnesses for a very long time. As veteran he had some help but those demons were too strong. He would fall right back. And being his kids we struggles alot seeing him this way. Society claps at them when they fight for this country but when they get back all F up. No one want them around. Your a blessing God bless you. Keep up the Good work. Hugs.
Prayers for your dad and peace and comfort yo you. 🙏🏼 my daughter is a Veteran and my son is active duty . When I wad married to their dad we were active duty family. It's not an easy life during or after. ❤🙏🏼
Hi Kevin, 😊 This is from 2 Yrs Back!! Thanks for Feeding the Homeless People!! 💯 Our`s are in Champaign, Illinois but they are All at Street Light Corners, by Many Stores, so No One Helps Because They could get Jobs!! As for What You Did here with 12 ft grass, is Outstanding & Not Quitting!! Great Job!!💯 Take Care & Pray No Poison Ivy, have a Safe Trip Home!! ❤ Have a Blessed Evening Kevin & Rachel & Family!!❤✝ Love Barb from Central Illinois❣
A rare genuine person, who has compassion and empathy for others, so humbling to see, please keep up the good work. A meal, some money, even just an aknowledgement lets them know they are just as important as everyone else. It is a pleasure watching your videos seeing the love you have for all. Take care. Best wishes and warm regards 🙃
I just figured out there are two channels I subscribed to both .I love your chatty one the best .I just love what you do ,you are such a blessing to the whole U S .This is just what we should all be doing There is always available a talent we can use not everyone needs to mow grass, take someone to a doctor's appointment, take a trip to the grocery for someone who can't. Baby sit for a single parent.I knew a gentleman who rocked babies in the maternity ward.GOD BLESS YOU AGAIN.
Oh my, love your comments. I think I saw the wonderful man who helped those babies get love. What an amazing thing to know him..... what a person who imitates what the word if God reminds us to do! It blesses us and feels great to know God loves a cheerful giver!!
You’re the shit man. Plain and simple. I try to help people out when I can but seeing you help out those homeless people reminds me that there’s still good people in the world
God bless you for helping out the homeless,they are God's children too! The only time you should look down on someone is when you're helping pick them up! Great job on the lawn. Enjoy seeing your wife in the videos, she seems like a sweet lady!
Not only a mistake away but an accident away. An accident that disables you can land you here. Not all you see on the street are there through their OWN doing. A lot of times it is because something was done to them. You touch my heart to tears seeing you help them. When you know you know. When you understand you understand. I enjoy your video's all the time. You just crack me up going through the trees and bushes on that stand mower. God bless you!
Hey man I know it's an old video but I just wanted to say I'm glad you found a way that you can help people as well as make a living at it. Keep up the good work.
You deserve a medal for doing what you do. Especially when the equipment keeps falling apart. I’m sure that job was “equipment abuse”. You are the man!
Your service to others (homeless & yard care) is truly inspiring and shows me I have a lot of room for improvement. One other comment. Thirty years ago my mom had a yard over run by Blackberries. We had gotten a Brush Cutter which was basically a Weed Eater with a Circular Saw Blade. Dangerous as hell but it made quick work of the Black Berries and saplings under 1” in diameter. The other thing that worked great on all vegetation was Goats!
Love that you help others. I used to pass out jackets and blankets in the winter and any cash I had. People judge it as if I am helping people who dont deserve it...but it isn't up to us to decide who is in need or not. I'd rather risk helping someone who didnt need it than not helping someone who does.
Two weeks ago I was within a few dollars of being homeless. By sheer luck I found a decent job and I think I'm going to make it. It'll take me a couple months until I'm stable, but I promise I'll remember your example when I am and do what I can. Thank you brother.
Glad your on your way!! Keep up good work on your life!
Some of us aren't that lucky to have some ££s in the UK
Usually I can't stand to see people film themselves while they're giving out food or money because I feel like it's bringing recognition to themselves but the way you handled it was very compassionate and I appreciate you helping people out
Praise God. Honestly its not hsrd to hit bottom and it can happen FAST. IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD AND PLEASE TRY TO PUT A FEW BUCKS AWAY FOR EMERGENCIES. Even if its 10 bucks here, 20 bucks there. It adds up. If you ever got sick ir hurt you wont be homeless!! God bless you!
@@brendacourtney341exactly, it's different in that he didn't wait for the recognition that he also gave them $100. Just get some people fed.
I had one homeless woman run screaming from me.. and more than one homeless person refuse food because they say people try to poison them. I finally showed one that I just bought the fruit from a grocery store and let him choose which one he wanted for him to take it. Mental illness is a HUGE factor, and I'm old enough to remember when they literally closed thousands of mental hospitals back in the 80s and put a lot of people in the streets. Sad state of our world. Thank you for the work you do.
I shared with my 28 yr old son. he's just getting life going. drugs took him to the wrong place but hes back o. track and has been clean for about 4 years. my oldest died of a drug OD at 34. so I'm glad my younger boys cleaned up. just a bit behind. I find your words inspiring. thank you!
When I retired, I started a car service. It's of long-distance trips. When driving alone I spent a lot of time talking with God. The world is his house & we had lots of fruitful conversations. I rarely went to church as he is everywhere, especially in my car. Now, I am spending time at home & still spend time with him. I feel that he has kept me going all these years. No matter what, it is never loose faith. He is always with you. After all, you are mowing his lawns...
Seeing you do that for homeless people, hits home cause I was there just not to long ago for 5 years.. In 5 years I ran across only 1 person like you. They gave me their left over food from an expensive China restaurant n $20, made my day n made me cry... Thank you for showing that part of you... Much love brother.
Ditto. Had someone walk up to me sleeping on a park bench with a hot meal in winter once. Sure I had a crippling heroin addiction at the time, but the possibility of someone choosing to get sober like I have is there. Now that I'm better off I give back when I can.
@@alexanderdickson8027 yes! May we ALL pay it forward!
Thanks for the beginning of the video, a great reminder that we can do something kind for someone else. Cause it could be any one of us at any point in life. 👍
I hope he starts a trend. What a great guy.
Uuiui
My Dad always said, “Making a difference is easy, all you have to do is be of service to others.” It is a code we live by. It warms my heart to watch your videos and listen to your down to earth philosophy. Thank you.
"One mistake in life from being where those people are" is100% correct. Knowing that is the truth, builds compassion.
It does. It also illustrates how fucked up the US has become in the last several decades. The uber-wealthy have trained the poor to devour each other. "Spared no expense."
My mother was a mortgage banker during the early 1990's recession. She lost almost everything when her company collapsed. We spent a few months in a K car until her friend put us up long enough for Mom to get back on her feet. I remember being on assistance. Even as a young child, I felt shame and shamed by people who judged us at the supermarket.
I'll never forget those days. Like he said about his shirt: remember where you came from. I recognize my succes is a combination of hard work, privilege, and luck. Many simply don't have that fortune. Always lend a hand to those in need rather than punch down. I know I benefitted from it.
Long story short, I was on the verge of homeless with nothing but the clothes on my back. I'm okay now but will never forget the terror of those days. There were a few people who showed me small acts of kindness. I cannot overstate how much that was worth to me. The gesture itself was welcome of course. What mattered more was that someone cared enough to help. The food filled my belly but it was the kindness from a total stranger that restored my hope and warmed my heart. Go through your days being as kind as you can be to those you meet. You can always be generous of spirit even if your wallet's empty. See if you can make them light up with a smile. You cannot know how close a person is to the edge or how the slightest nudge will lift them up or knock them down.
Just started watching yesterday . Do not let anyone make you feel bad for being a good man. I’m a union worker in NY my wife just got her masters degree at 47 years old . People look at us with envy for trying to do good in life. Someone is always trying to rain on your parade. I wish you the best brother god bless.
Having been lucky to have a car while being homeless, it was one of the most traumatic situations, even after the abuse that made me homeless. So thank you for seeing us. We feel so invisible and judged.
People don't realize how detrimental it is for some folks to not have a car. I'm so fortunate to have the car I have even if it's temporary, because I've been without a car before & I've been homeless & honestly I think I'd choose being homeless over being without a car.
@@BeeTeePee Really? May I ask why? I felt more protected.
@@lauracresswell9699 it's hard to explain, but if I had to make the choice, I feel like I would be more independent with a car instead of a home. Because I could live in the car & I can use my car for work but I can't drive a house & it's REALLY inconvenient to constantly ask for a ride or find public transportation or set up a ride to get to an appointment, the store, walk long distances, etc. Idk. I know it sounds ridiculous though.
@@BeeTeePee funny how the law works with this too, isn't it? "Borrow" somebody's property for a while to live and you get a simple trespass or asked to leave... Yet try to "borrow" a car for a minute and you land straight in jail. I think I'd rather have the car, too!
Your not unseen, your worthy!! Keep up your fight Laura!!
You had me in tears within the first couple of seconds. I grew up with a grandma who always told me that if you have clothes on your back, a roof over your head and food in your tummy you are lucky and if you see someone not as lucky, you help them. She grew was lived through the great deperssion and if it had not been for the fact that her family owned land and farmed, they would not have had anything. She taught me about giving. It is rare to see acts of true kindmess. The world needs more love, less hate and more people like you!
Thank you so much for doing this. We have been homeless for years and to see someone care so much is AMAZING! ❤
I was once homeless and all it takes is one act of kindness to change a situation!!!
Thank you for all you do!!!
There's two types of homeless thd ones who are homeless but eventually find a place and the crack head who purposely homeless because he keeps smoking his rent you have to distinguish from the two

Same. Only lasted weeks, but it was.... a loooong weeks. Someone handing me a jar of peanut butter was thsi huge blessing.
Watching this man work makes me feel like going out and clearing up the yard. Right after I watch him clear up another yard.
I’m fairly new to your channel and am enjoying it. I was thinking, maybe instead of mowing vacant places, you might contact CASA, HUD, or senior organizations in your town and ask if anyone needed lawn-care and couldn’t afford to pay for these services. Oncologists or hospitals might be able to tell you if cancer patients need help for a while during chemo treatments. I wish there was a national volunteer help site where people could volunteer a little of their time each week in each city, and those needing it could find a little help. Not just lawn-care, but carpentry, painting, dog walking, etc. So many people want to help, and so many need it, but nobody knows where to look for either one. Sorry about the long rant. You are doing a fine thing, and are to be commended.
nah hes too busy filming hisself giving 100$ bills to "homeless" people, you know, the folks that stand around at intersections pretending to be down on their luck and splitting whatever they get with the criminal gang that oversees the 'homeless' grift for that area, and spending the rest on bad smack and hotel rooms
@@rickdeckard1075 That’s pretty harsh. He’s doing a good thing while earning a living, and seems a kind man. He helps those in need when he can. You can’t fault him for making videos. That’s how he supports his family and gives to the homeless.
I had my own painting business for 7-8 years and I often wished I could afford to volunteer my services to people the couldn't afford it. This is very inspiring to me. Covid knocked me out of my ability to be self contracted, because I have essentially been a single mother and very little money went back into my business growth, but I will get back out there. I will get to his point. I will find my way. Thank you sir. I have always helped the homeless. I have never done it for anything other than the sake of helping. You are doing Gods work, sir! I salute you!
@@rickdeckard1075 he's doing a nice thing and them sort are the ones that ruin it for people that are just down on their luck and not in a good spot cause they are the ones that need the help but people always think they are doing bad with the money which some might but not all
@@rickdeckard1075 He has to film it because UA-cam is how he gets his money. He takes the worst places because they are the most sensational to fix up and justify a clickbait title, meaning he gets more money. It is not a ploy for attention. It could be, but given how UA-cam works it is not necessarily so. And it is hard to argue that lawn care is bad: it keeps a place clean, clears drains, and makes a yard walkable.
I don't know if you realize it but these are some life changing videos.
I remember being inspired by the message when you cut the mini golf course but this message while cutting the yard with deflated 🏀 basketball, well it feels like you are saving my life.
I had decided to give up on all my dreams of getting healthy, relationships, God and living life to the fullest. Then I started watching this "I found a house--free overgrown yard mowing".
The message I am hearing now is letting me know I've just hit a bump in life's road and there are many more to come and I need to buck up, find solutions and keep moving forward.
Thank you and thank your wife because I know you could not do what your doing if she wasn't doing her part.
Thank you both and keep up the good work.
Watch your channel from Northern Ireland!! You are a living example of the expression, “in a world where you can be anything, be kind.” Keep up the amazing work!!
That’s a wonderful saying!! Thank you.
OMG. You're spot on. I became homeless after my mom died because I went into a deep depression for a very long time. I am still struggling to this day. I discovered that callousness that you just spoke of.. now I want to say that I did come across some very nice empathetic and caring people who did help me through that but there were far more people who would be downright abusive to me. Most people would tell me about all the funding that was available to me. Well, guess what folks? That is a myth. There is not government funding for homeless people. The women's shelter in my area are for domestic abuse victims. There isn't a shelter here for a woman who hasn't been abused. There is no money to apply for. I honestly don't know what the answer is, but I do know that if more people did what you are doing it darn sure wouldn't hurt anything. So thank you for all you do to help others! You are making a difference.
You and your wife seem like genuinely kind people. There is so much talk nowadays about who is and isn't deserving of help and kindness. And you don't care about that and just give fearlessly. The world would be a better place if more people were like you.
I normally wait till the end of the video to comment but I’m crying for your compassion and the humanity that you gave to these homeless ppl. You’re absolutely right. We haven’t walked in their shoes and we haven’t a clue as to what they’ve been thru. My son was homeless and living in his car at a rest stop just a few miles from our home. He was too embarrassed to tell me and my husband. It was February in northeast Ohio. The day he came by to “visit” was just to say hi. He stayed to eat got a shower and just before he was leaving he asked if he could spend the night. My husband sensed he had no where to go. The weather was forecasting 6 inches of snow and 10 degrees. He stood up and I asked “are you homeless Joey”? He said yes. My husband said ok but just for the night. Your life style is not conducive with ours and we have 3 others boys and we don’t want your influence on them. He said He understood and said thank you. My husband stood up and hugged him and said “Joey, we love you! And this is killing your mom”! His knees buckled and my husband was holding him tight! My ex husband NEVER told him he loved him. This husband ALWAYS loved him and my son excepted it and turned his life around. That was 18 yrs ago and he has a good life now. I don’t know but Dear God in heaven I hope someone gave my son a little smile at least when he was homeless. Let’s all be a little like Kevin and show some compassion and empathy to the needy. And if nothing else … just tilt your head and smile to them.
If I had a son I would want him to be like you. You make your parents proud. Sending hugs to you and your family!
You are absolutely right when you say that we are only one mistake away from being just like them. An illness or injury can change your life in an instant and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Treat others with the same respect that you want to be treated with. We are all on the same journey.
This yard is 100% improved!! No need to apologize for anything, period. Equipment failures are a given in the lawn care field, and you figured out a work around! I love your big heart in helping others whether it is free lawn care or a burger and $, shows me your compassion!
In all the videos I've watched so far I see you helping others and I cant applaud you enough. Good deeds don't go unnoticed. Like you said in the video It makes you fell better as well as helping others. I really enjoy watch you as you enjoy what you do for others. You are a breath of fresh air during your commentary as you joke around and smile, its rare these days.
As someone who has struggled with being cynical for most of my adult life, your videos are a true blessing. You give me hope for mankind. You, your crew, and your family are in my prayers. God bless.
Ur wife is just too cute!!! And the inspirational teachings r kicking my butt!!! I had not realized how complacent I had become. Thank u for all the blessings and good deeds that you are putting out in the world! You are an inspiration!!!
You’re doing what I wish I could be doing I’ve been in a nursing home and it makes my heart jump with joy to see you doing that. Me and my little grand niece used to go around giving food to the homeless and a little money I wish I could’ve given out 20s but I was on SSI myself but I was living at my mom‘s house so l was so blessed, to be able to give them food and stuff. My little niece, she was just a little three year old and she, ‘say auntie let’s get him hamburger’I could go on and on but I won’t God bless you
Thanks for remembering the homeless people. Your reward is in heaven.
Your patience is admirable dude..when its that hot, sweaty, itchy and miserable, and equipment keeps acting up, anyone else would lose it and pack up the truck….. Why your videos are enjoyable, you keep at it!
I never imagined I would be watching a lawn mowing, lawn service UA-cam channel lol 😂 but you are such a kind, genuine, fun and generous good human I just have to support you and I had to subscribe. The world needs more people like you! Keep up the kindness 🫶🏼
Don't let the professional trolls and haters get you down. No one cares what they say. They're like never-ending negativity -- I feel sorry for them. How horrible it must be to have nothing nice to say about anything or anyone!
Thank you for doing your part to help the homeless and an amazing job on the free lawn care makeovers. Love watching your videos.
Nice to see such a kind man spreading compassion and kindness and the plight of the homeless in this country. Subscribed right after the intro.
As somebody who spent years on and off of the streets I appreciate everything you do. Helping those who need it is what we should all be doing if we have the means.
I usually watch you before I sleep because of how satisfying your videos are, I did not click on this today expecting to cry like a baby. We all go through rough times in our lives, seeing these people who have hit rock bottom is absolutely heartbreaking. Keep being such an amazing person, you never know how badly someone needs your kindness ❤️
I typically watch videos at 2x speed. Especially videos like this where it takes a while to do. You had asked for a comment, so enjoy the bit of read (I comment very little). I had paused the video to do this 🙂
I'm in the process of restoring a yard that fell to the wayside. I've been dabbling in lawn restoration videos due to the before/after so I don't lose motivation and possibly get some knowledge along the way. I'm nowhere close to professional, but my dad was quite the handyman and I've learned some tricks throughout my childhood. This restoration is being done all by hand as well as my tools for a restoration were nonexistent and money was tight when I started. I'm hand pulling weeds, asking friends with chainsaws to help cut down invasive trees (the city doesn't like them), and using all hand tools to edge, dig up parts of the heavier weeds, and dethatching the yard.
I'm doing this because the owner was kind enough to extend their hand and home for myself and my family during a high conflict divorce. The job I had was ending, and I had to have a good attorney to help me through the case - so funds were super narrow for about two years. If the offer wasn't extended to me and my family, I would have been homeless and without my cat, who has been there for me since she was a kitten and helped me through one of the most difficult things in life. If the alternative would have happened, I know I would have broke as there wasn't another place for me to go. That simple act of kindness isn't forgotten and I do everything I can to help the homeowner out first. Once the lawn restoration is done, I already have it set up for someone to mow the yard so the homeowner doesn't have to (and a repeat occurs). I plan on doing more for the owner, because that one act of kindness has probably saved my life.
I have two close friends who I've also reached out to during my difficult times, who both helped me immensely throughout that time in my life. In return, I help them whenever I can however I can.
To anyone else, I seem fine. Not many people knows the extent of what happened or the affects I feel to this day from it. Life can get rough, and it beats people down very hard. To someone who is in hardship, a meal can mean the world of a difference. A simple act of kindness can mean the difference between total chaos and rising above it all.
Seeing you hand out meals made tears come to my eyes. When you asked for a comment, I didn't hesitate. Your generosity is the reason for that mixed with your message from the last video I watched of "just go and start your business"
Hi Kevin. Im that 81 year old ladybthatvintroduced you to Dan Casc the heavy metal singer. At times here lately he and you have kept my head above water. My red blood cells are still low and the Doctors have not found out why. I am so tired all the time and can not do my yard work with my 10 rose bushes plus my lilac and many other flowering plants. I need you for the laughter you give me and Dan for hus AMAZING GRACE plus all of the other songsvthat get my heart the pump a little faster.
You made me cry in a good way today. I LOVE YOU AND RACHEL. She isvavcery good wife and mother. THANK YOU.

I've been watching you for about a month. As a senior citizen I'm grateful for your kindness 💛 Your doing your community a great service. 👍 Blessings
He rocks doesnt he , lol!!!
Kevin I have to say from another man's perspective you are a God send you let people see the struggles and help them realize we all have hard times. God bless brother
I cried my eyes out watching you feed the homeless... I became homeless with a full time job... I stood by my husband that is on a bad path...When he fell off on that bad path we owned our home ..owned and ran a very successful landscaping and lawn care business and as I said I had a full time job as well.. I am currently trying to get out of the situation but it's hard. As a spouse that doesn't do those things but feels stuck well let's just say it's a tough road but I am trying .. So to the ppl that wanna talk down to ppl down on their luck.. just stop and love one another.. Thanks for the content and thank God for ppl like you..
We need more kind people like you in the world ❤
I’d love for you to do a drive by of this property now to show us what the realtor etc was able to do with it - landscaping, cleaning up the house itself. Did it sell? Anyone living there now? Would be really cool to see what happened to what you started!
I really admire you for helping out so many homeless people with food and money. We never know what anyone else is going through or how they get to that place. Not ours to judge, but to lend a helping hand when we can. I try to do the same when I can. ❤️
The whole time you were telling us to make a wish I was wishing for you. The act of kindness you show towards people is unbelievable. Don’t let the haters get you down. They are just jealous of what you’re willing to do for the unfortunate. God bless you!
I love you and your wife. I came across your site by accident and fell in love with yall at the house where the cops had been called. Nice to know there are still good people in the world that do good just because. It made my heart soar and your video made my day.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful, if everyone was as generous as Kevin and his family.
Kevin, my wife was homeless In Oklahoma City for about a year. The Manager of an Arbys noticed she came in and washed in their bathroom daily. He asked if she was homeless, he offered her a job, and helped her to save her money which allowed her to get a run down place to live (She was so thankful to have anything). She was able to get back on her feet. Now she has a heart for the homeless because she knows what it's like (a big part of why I love her so much). Good on ya Kevin for having the heart to help them. It's not our place to judge them, but to show the love of Christ to them and let Him sort out all the rest. "Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:45-46 KJV God Bless you and Rachel & have a Happy New Year!! John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
I never thought I would enjoy sitting and watching someone mow grass, but I surely enjoy watching you! The most enjoyable thing to watch is your charitable spirit! You are inspirational! Thank you for doing the Lord’s work with a joyful heart. God bless you!🙏🏻
Me either, mowing my lawn tonight was awesome. I thought if his wonderful deeds and loved the fight of doing my lawn now more than ever!! Lol!!
You two are precious! Thank you for being you! "...we live in a day and age where there's no compassion for anybody..." says the compassionate man. Again, thank you for what you do!
I would've probably ended up homeless if it wasn't for my family. Alcoholism did its thing with me as I allowed it to. Needless to say, 1 year sober this July 26th! Love what you do man, the world's a better place with you in it!
That brought me to tears! My daughter is living homeless right now. I've tried everything to help her and it seems like nothing works. Thank you for taking the time to help someone in need. Lots of love from Texas!!
It makes me feel good seeing that people care about the homeless, lots of people think “oh just get a job, oh he’s just an addict, why would anyone sleep on the streets” but the majority arnt addicts, they try to get jobs but are turned down almost every time, and they certainly didn’t choose to sleep on the sidewalks and streets, that’s the only thing they can do due to the circumstances they were delt with, it takes a really really really strong person to keep going on that way every single day, people just stare at you, people just walk on by without a care in the world, they just see a “useless” person begging for their change so seeing someone like you buying these unfortunate people food and throwing it in a video really makes me happy, especially because I know you do this often and leave it out of the videos so I hope when people see this video and what you’ve done for those people it inspires them to do the same if they are in a position to, or even just talk to some of these people, like I said earlier in my comment these people are incredibly down on their luck and most of them didn’t choose this life so anything at all can go a really really long way for them, if it’s something as simple as conversation for a while, hearing their story and just making small talk or something like a nice hot meal or a cold drink on a hot summer day I’m sure these people will forever be greatful that you gave them the time out of your day! I’ve talked to a few homeless people in my time and I’ve hardly ever been met with disrespect for trying to help or anything even close, every single person was super happy I even talked to them, they spend every day outside without talking to anybody other than their fellow homeless friends so when they get the chance to say something and talk to somebody they are all smiles and full of joy, I encourage anyone reading this comment or watching this video to at least try and better a homeless persons day, you talking to them or giving them food could mean the whole world for them and I will personally love you for helping someone out, there’s a lot of evil in the world today but hearing and seeing people help others in need really shows that there is a lot of good out there two! I hope everyone has a great day and a blessed life with lots of joy and happy memories!
You're a blessing for those around you, you leave a place better than you found it an it shows not only in your work but your walk through life. Much love an mad respect
God bless you Kevin for helping. May the lord bless you and keep you and make his face shine upon you and give you grace.
I was there once, so this hit close to home! While getting back on my feet, I volunteered at homeless shelters and kitchens. I love giving back!! Yes, my heart melts, and my eyes leak!
This hits close to home with me as well. My brother and my mother were homeless. We grew up very rough. It’s good to see people there like you. Lord knows me need more people like you.
You're a good guy. The way people treat the homeless is despicable. They lost everything and are just trying to stay alive, and somebody like you comes along and even if just for a short time it makes them feel good again.
Amen 🙏🏽 you have a very kind heart. You are being blessed in your business because of what you are doing for others.
and how many homeless are you helping?
@@shadowsilverlight1651 I actually stop and give them a drink and a snack from 7-11 whenever I drive past where they are at if they are actually there.
Now how many are you helping?? You come along and ask some stupid question like that like you're 5. Grow up.
Thank you for spreading kindness and compassion. ❤️
Kevin, you are so full of mischief and I’d bet as a kid you drove your parents bonkers at times. You still have a big heart and work hard for your clients. You out do yourself every time. Keep up being the good guy, please. We need more like you. What I like most about you is you never give up. You find a way to continue what you start no matter how hard it gets.
Your compassion is infectious! I hope Rachel has a wonderful Mother’s Day. 💐
I love how genuine you are. Your wife is truly lucky. Great to see the compassion you give to those in need.
I just found your channel this morning and am hooked. I am a 76 year old woman who use to manage my yard for years until my health interested. Just had back surgery so hoping I can get my hands dirty again soon. You are quite an inspiration. God bless you and your family and your business. You are a good man.
I don't see why people would say anything about you videoing what you are doing, you are still helping and watching a video of generosity usually motivates others to do the same. Keep up the good work 👏
I find it relaxing. Watching him mow the grass, the sounds, reminds me of my daddy that passed away.
I'm so moved to see a human being showing so much love towards total strangers. I hope this inspires others to follow this sort of kindness and selflessness. Good on you!!
It’s such a shame that so many houses like these are just abandoned. They probably have decent bones and would be a nice little place to live if they got some more love like this
It’s a cute little place! I’m sure the realtor is gonna be happy to see the whole thing so he can flip it to its full potential.
Spot on, I worked so hard as a single mom. I did it, but so agree with your response. So many people need a place and here they are. So sad! I think he's opening it up for people who may be able to buy it!!!! Wonderful guy!
@@Ladiesfirstsalon10 how did you manage to buy a house? I would love to have tips as I feel like it's almost impossible .
@@HosCreates well Missouri has better banking in small towns. I've worked with a couple of banks in my town and paid off things. It made a difference. So east side of Springfield houses are cheaper so it helps to look there first. Hope that helps somewhat??
Volunteerism is a gift to the world which brings joy to our own hearts.
Thank you for your kindness towards others!! I was homeless with my 5 kids 8 years ago, the right people were in the right place to get me through that time. When we lost everything and walked out of our home I told my kids I would buy them a home and we would never be homeless again, last September I purchased 1004 sq ft home for them!! Four of my kids live with me and all 5 of them are celebrating New Years Eve in our cozy new home 🏠❤️ Best feeling ever!! Never underestimate the power of kindness, and how far that carries those in need.
Glad you made it dear
@@ItIsWHATItIs91373 thank you! I'm so proud of my kids and their resilience and patience while we saved for the house.
Brilliant! Love stories from people who persevered! Good for you & your children got a great example!
@@OurHappyNutHouse subbed to your channel by the way n liked your Facebook page as well..
Kindness is also a double edged sword. My love and care for people also tends to get taken advantage of. I don't know what it's like to be homeless, but I don't like seeing others who are go without a meal, or even be freezing or burning up from the weather. I'm glad you were able to get back on the road again and please stay safe!
This may sound funny but I find it relaxing to see you help others ! Giving food to homeless is blessing in paying it forward ! Thank you for having a kind heart ! Having compassion toward others in this hateful world when people are like what’s in it for me ? You make a difference! It’s inspiring! Thank you!
You are very inspiring brother
It is more relaxing than you know not boring just calm voice cutting it is relaxing thank you 👍❤️🏀 also the homeless food delivery was awesome don't be afraid to show it maybe It will rub off on more people I totally believe God helps us to pay it forward 👍👍👍👍👍✋🏀💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you for caring for the homeless. They are so often ignored, harrassed and left lonely. Judgement isnt for us. Helping is what we should do.
Thank you first off for helping those homeless Love watching your channels you are genuine individual who i can see enjoys helping individuals and the community with landscape issues for free,' when they are disabled , can't afford to and may lose their home. One has to have been in a low point in their life to realize what these folks are going through. This was such a huge job and wear and tear on equipment. Awesome work Kevin
You’re a working man. That’s for sure! And a blessing to the homeless!
You are terrific -- even when stuff just keeps breaking and amidst poison ivy and bugs. You're a good man. God bless you and your mission and your family... Rachel is adorable.
Some people probably think you're showing off that you do good but it's amazing what you did and do and it is great that you share that with your viewers because it inspires us to be like you. Keep doing what you do man. You inspire me to cut lawns and be a better human beings. Love you man.
Thank you for helping. My front yard is all Johnson grass...at least I know what it is. I've got to get out there and conquer my fear of a weed whacker.
I noticed when you talk about the homeless you're face shows it for real. You have some people that do it just for sure but as I listen to you I feel the words are from your heart. And when I do the same thing I don't buy meals but I do give funds as much as I can. It do make me feel like maybe I'm having a little bit. Like you said we don't know why they're there and it's not for us to question why. I can go on and on but I give you a thumbs up. Ms. Barbara
The gifts you gave to the homeless just shows you are one of a kind a awesome person
God Bless you young man. If the world had more people like you, it would be wonderful. I enjoy watching you doing gardens so much. Its so relaxing for me. My children have a giggle thinking their mom prefers watching lawns being mowed instead of getting stuck into a good movie, but truly, its a sort of ASMR for me. I love it! Wish you could do my garden, sadly I am too far in Australia. Cheers and thank you for all that you do.
You are truly a blessing, I saw the video when you painted the house and made it beautiful again, God bless you and your family and friends 🙏🙏🥰🥰
Never, ever, forget where you came from. This can be a seriously slippery slope for those who didn't have much growing up and suddenly find themselves in a much better situation as an adult. And while I was far from being poor, let alone ever homeless, I went through this myself in my 20's. So, yes, I'm glad you spent the time to pick the burs and such off your shirt. Some would say you spent more of your own time doing that vs. just tossing it. I say it's something you could do largely on autopilot while watching a show and, most importantly, you're not being wasteful.
BTW, my father used to order extra burgers from BK/McD's back in the day to share with the homeless. This usually went well; except for the occasional "I don't eat meat" or "do you have anything else" folks. My wife and I are big believers in giving to those we feel inclined to. Intuition I suppose.
Lastly, "no guard, no balls" made me chuckle. After all, one errant rock could very well result in your twins suffering massive damage... so do take care.
I've said it once, I'll say it again, Kevin you rock! I've never seen anyone give their free time to do these videos like you. Your generosity shines through from your soul, on behalf of everyone here in the UK, God Bless You.
Can I just say that your videos totally relax me after a long day at the funeral home. I'm hooked!
You and Rachel are genuinely good people.
Love the message you played about never giving up.
It's so true that we live in a society that lacks compassion and love for other people. It's easy to blame others because we feel uncomfortable about their situation, but everyone deserves compassion and respect. Thank you for your videos!!!
When you said we live in an age where there is no compassion....it hit me hard. Very true and it seems like when people do take the energy to help out others they are knocked down by those who do not understand the concept of humanity. I really beginning to understand that the meaning of purpose is a complex yet simple thing in each human being. Some struggle with gaining that understanding.
MY MOTTO:
treat others the way you want to be treated!!!!
There....very simple rule to live by ! ❤
@@debbieleerepscher2549 unfortunately there are people who still would not grasp that rule just because their ego or agenda wont let them. Even when they get back the treatment they dished out, it is hard for them to extend themselves to see the karma they put out and choose instead to play the victim. I see so many times on social media and in life especially when it comes how people treat those who are struggling. Emotionally I feel there are people who are stunted for whatever reason and it hurts society.
@@ejais I know exactly what you mean as sad as it is 😥
This brings me to tears my dad is a veteran and he lived like this many years and today doctors called he has a short time to live. He struggled with drugs and lots of illnesses for a very long time. As veteran he had some help but those demons were too strong. He would fall right back. And being his kids we struggles alot seeing him this way. Society claps at them when they fight for this country but when they get back all F up. No one want them around. Your a blessing God bless you. Keep up the Good work. Hugs.
Prayers for your dad and peace and comfort yo you. 🙏🏼 my daughter is a Veteran and my son is active duty . When I wad married to their dad we were active duty family. It's not an easy life during or after. ❤🙏🏼
@@befie71 thanks so much ❤️

Take Care & Pray No Poison Ivy, have a Safe Trip Home!! ❤ Have a Blessed Evening Kevin & Rachel & Family!!❤✝
Love Barb from Central Illinois❣
Not a lot of things in life are free but being kind is. Thank you for your kind heart!!!
A rare genuine person, who has compassion and empathy for others, so humbling to see, please keep up the good work. A meal, some money, even just an aknowledgement lets them know they are just as important as everyone else. It is a pleasure watching your videos seeing the love you have for all. Take care. Best wishes and warm regards 🙃
I just figured out there are two channels I subscribed to both .I love your chatty one the best .I just love what you do ,you are such a blessing to the whole U S .This is just what we should all be doing There is always available a talent we can use not everyone needs to mow grass, take someone to a doctor's appointment, take a trip to the grocery for someone who can't. Baby sit for a single parent.I knew a gentleman who rocked babies in the maternity ward.GOD BLESS YOU AGAIN.
Oh my, love your comments. I think I saw the wonderful man who helped those babies get love. What an amazing thing to know him..... what a person who imitates what the word if God reminds us to do! It blesses us and feels great to know God loves a cheerful giver!!
Loving the background theme about being motivated and staying focused. It's just what I needed. Thankyou.
You’re the shit man. Plain and simple. I try to help people out when I can but seeing you help out those homeless people reminds me that there’s still good people in the world
God bless you for helping out the homeless,they are God's children too! The only time you should look down on someone is when you're helping pick them up! Great job on the lawn. Enjoy seeing your wife in the videos, she seems like a sweet lady!
Thanks God for you and your family man you are the best always from Chicago and love watching your love for people's .
I love what you do for your community, and the people who live there. Keep on good sir!!
Not only a mistake away but an accident away. An accident that disables you can land you here. Not all you see on the street are there through their OWN doing. A lot of times it is because something was done to them. You touch my heart to tears seeing you help them. When you know you know. When you understand you understand. I enjoy your video's all the time. You just crack me up going through the trees and bushes on that stand mower. God bless you!
We lived in Tulsa for years. My best friend and her family live there still. Thank you for what you are doing. So many people need help there.
You are making this World a better place one yard at a time... Thanks for all you do!
Hey man I know it's an old video but I just wanted to say I'm glad you found a way that you can help people as well as make a living at it. Keep up the good work.
You deserve a medal for doing what you do. Especially when the equipment keeps falling apart. I’m sure that job was “equipment abuse”. You are the man!
Your service to others (homeless & yard care) is truly inspiring and shows me I have a lot of room for improvement. One other comment. Thirty years ago my mom had a yard over run by Blackberries. We had gotten a Brush Cutter which was basically a Weed Eater with a Circular Saw Blade. Dangerous as hell but it made quick work of the Black Berries and saplings under 1” in diameter. The other thing that worked great on all vegetation was Goats!
Love that you help others. I used to pass out jackets and blankets in the winter and any cash I had. People judge it as if I am helping people who dont deserve it...but it isn't up to us to decide who is in need or not. I'd rather risk helping someone who didnt need it than not helping someone who does.
What you did for these homeless people is just amazing ❤
