It Took A Simple KNOCK To Find Out This ELDERLY Man Needed Serious HELP

  • I was driving around my neighborhood to see if anyone was in need help and I stumbled upon this overgrown yard. I knocked on the homeowners door and his son answered (From what I visually saw, I believe they were both disabled). He told me that his elderly father had a riding lawn mower that broke down and it was hard to find parts for that lawn mower. They were completely amazed that I was willing to do such a kind thing for them. A simple knock on the door, folks.

    Great job! I will never understand why neighbors never help neighbors anymore. I recently saw that my elderly neighbor had not mowed his lawn for over 2 weeks. We had some rainfall in those 2 weeks so that always sets you back. I reached out. He had a decline in health and could no longer mow and could not find a mow service. I stepped up until he could. Remember some people will not swallow their pride and ask for help.

    • @wolfling2039
      @wolfling2039 2 роки тому +94

      It isn’t always pride that stops them. It’s knowing people have enough on their plates as it is and not wanting to bother anyone. That’s why it’s important to reach out to people who obviously aren’t able to keep up, whether it’s with labor, home cooked meals or just spending time with them. I’m disabled and I do what I can and hire what I can’t but a lot of people can’t afford to hire help. Thank you Lori for showing your neighbor there are still good folks out there and the people watching this channel that helping used to be the norm and should still be.

    I vividly remember when my grandfather told me his new neighbors (a young family in their 20’s) had offered to mow their lawn for free. My grandparents were declining and it was very hard for my granddaddy to mow his lawn anymore, and all of us lived out of state. My granddaddy was so shocked and humbled by this young man’s generosity! The young man even refused gas money. Granted, it was a small lot to mow, but it still cost time and money. ❤
    This happened forty years ago, but I have kept it in mind as I have gone through life. When I have had the ability to help a neighbor at very little “cost” to me, I help. Why not!!

      Sounds a bit judgy since many homeowners who cannot take care of their lawn cannot get outside, much less bend over to pick up the trash discarded by thoughtless others. They have bigger fish to fry. As my SO is handicapped, he certainly cannot. Any new or worsening illness can prevent someone from being able to maintain their residence, along with the death of a spouse, caregiver, the death or relocation of offspring, even the illness or other interruption of people hired to do this work. Have you ever thought of those things instead of judging?

      It may not be pride. I know when I ask my grandkids for help, the first thing out of their mouths is what do they get out of it. So maybe some people Don't have money to pay for the help given if they are asked to be paid, so don't ask. Or as my grandkids also do, next weekend, then next weekend over and over but they never do it, till my neighbor asks if I need help.
      I fortunately live next to some great neighbor's who offer to help. Also they belong to a church group that are always looking to do service in the community so they will go and ask the people in our small town if they can bring their church group to do yard work etc as part of their service to the community. They'll arrange in advance a day t o do 4 - 5 yards and can get a large enough group to knock out one home per hour. Wonderful people.
      Edit to add: Also if they are elderly, sick, or injured enough to where they are basically home bound they may not be able to get out to ask for help. A good neighbor would go check on their neighbor and ask if they need anything.

This year I decided not to ask her anymore but just go and cut her grass and she was so grateful for the help. I roped in another neighbour and between us we do her garden. I do the front and the other neighbour does the back. That way it’s not such a burden on one person.

    Saving seniors one lawn at a time with a yard transformation. You continue to amaze me with your generosity and craftsmanship. I suspect the reptile was a small rat or garter snake, existing mostly on worms, grubs and insects. What triggered the Rock Paper Scissors? I missed the context.
    I noticed that your right foot is on the deck pedal. Do you do that to raise the deck when initially mowing into tall growth? I feel that every time I watch your videos I learn another practice I should be doing with my own ZT mower. After 6 weeks with minimal rain I managed to successfully mow our swamp.
    Question are your front wheels pneumatic or airless.? I managed to have one flatten. I got a tire plug kit and a quart of Slime. Should I be looking for an airless variation of wheel? I suspect a thorn.
    Thanks for sharing this insightful video and for wearing a mask. You ha e a good focus on personal safety. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle weather, nourishing rain and restful evenings. Peace brother.

There is a young guy living next door that could have offered some help and I am sure he isn't the only one who never offered assistance! I took care of three yards (for two elderly neighbors plus my own), worked a full time job while raising two daughters! I even kept huge shrubs trimmed in two of those yards with a pair of scissors....I had blisters on top of blisters and bandaids on top of bandaids!! I may have gotten tired but I sure felt wonderful inside!! If it wasn't for all you guys doing this I don't know what some people would do!
