Army veteran does a free yard clean up

Thank you to all veterans for their service. 👍👏

Sean, your preface to your video today explaining about mental health struggles and to reach out to someone that can help, will undoubtedly result in some viewers getting help. I think that is probably more important than the work you do for free. Bravo! This was a great video. Excellent on not cutting on the plant for the bees. Loved the dog. Nice work once again!

I am so impressed with your willingness to speak of your MH issues and help to break down the stigma of getting MH help, where ever you find it. Before I retired I spent over 20 years providing MH services for the USMC and stigma continues to be a problem for vets getting help. Good on you!

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

thanks for your work with vets Peter

[@krissgross2335]

Peter, I live near Camp Lejeune and I often have vets walk up to me and ask if they can talk to me! I often wonder if I have a sign on my forehead! But I do have a BA in psychology and don't mind listening. I will often refer those I talk with to one of the many mental health facilities in the area, as I'm not qualified to actually council.

[@petermorris6052]

@@krissgross2335 One of the biggest problems reducing thee stigma of MH services for active duty servicemembers is there is intentional and/or unintentional interference within the ranks and the officer corps. Not everyone, but enough to continue to perpetuate the idea that getting help isn't a warrior virtue. I love the Corps but it was a daily fight to get command leadership to accept that mental health issues are readiness issues that require confidentiality. Top brass knows and mostly supports the efforts of the Department of Defense civilians who provide services, but for the most part mental health services for the USMC are the purview of Navy Psychology. Their responsibilities include reporting to the command, so there is the (appropriate) fear that there is limited or no confidentiality. Thus servicemembers seek out civilian providers (if they seek help at all), and then cost becomes an issue. Thank you for taking the time to try to help! Listening is an important skill.

I am really glad that it is becoming easier for people to talk about mh and to get it treated without them being treated like trash. My father, a Vietnam vet, suffered from ptsd up until the 2000s. I watched him slowly become more withdraw as I grew up. I am really happy he got help and because of that it gave me the courage to also seek help once I realized there was something wrong. He is so much happier and outgoing than before. It is just too bad that the chemicals the US used during the war is giving him cancer

You've found what works for you, what gives you passion and something you enjoy. That is precious in this world and I wish you well in your journey to recovery.

Hi Sean, I'm a US Army Veteran, two years because of a low lottery number during the Vietnam war. I did not see combat. After the Army I studied psychology in college but I discovered I was too selfish to be a Psychologist. I pursued a career in film. Depression and sadness can be overwhelming which I know from experience. Life can deal us pain that seems too much to overcome. My message is that hopes and goals keep us alive. Well-being and happiness is directly related to setting goals. We need something to look forward to. That's my bit for the day. Sean, as I said before I admire you so much for helping other people. You are an inspiration. You have more guts helping other people than I do and I admire you very much for it.

I struggle with my own mental health issues as well, but not like she does... As a widowed, working, single mom- it's hard. But we make it through somehow, by the grace of God. Be blessed, my friend- for you ARE a blessing.

Thank you for sharing. Your training shows in work and how you maintain your composure I am also a veteran and struggle with issues. Not always can I go outside, anxiety is too high but when I can it is a beautiful day and I am grateful. You did much for this yard, nice jobs on shrubs also!

I prefer seeing a man working hard on his way than seeing a full time commercial. You doing a great job! Keep on and ignore those people who like hearing their own roar ;) instead of doing something useful. Greatings from Germany!

Another fab transformation, you're a Godsend. Never underestimate a kind word or gesture, it can make or break a person. Thank you for your kindness.

[@tracyhynes9795]

It makes me smile that you are so open with your mental health story. I too, suffer from mental health issues (have for 30+ years) and am happy to say that my 'very' bad days are behind me forever, I hope. I now have a fabulous family and feel blessed every day for them. Thank you for all you do to help those who need your amazing skills with their yards and that you do this with love, care, and so much compassion. You are one amazing Aussie!😘

[@Excitable67]

Great job, Sean! It's incredible how much better that yard looks now!

[@coleenstirling4301]

Sean, you continue to amaze and surprise all of us! Kudos to you for speaking of your mental health issues. You will inspire many others who are struggling, giving them the strength to seek help (mental health struggles are so exhausting- it’s hard to push yourself to ask for help), and accepting that it’s okay to have bad days. I think you’ve chosen wisely to engage in physical work, which is very good for the mind and body. Plus you always do a wonderful job! Nice to see Will back. Here’s a click wink for you. 😘

Thanks for sharing more about your background Sean, that’s very brave of you and I appreciate it! Excellent job there! It’s immensely satisfying to watch you work your magic with a weed eater. You’re an artist!

[@cloviaooley2673]

Thanks for sharing Sean. You help with my depression to know that people like yourself give so much of themselves to help others without monetary reward. Keep on keepin on and take care of yourself.

Thank you for another great video. My father fought in the Korean War, my mom told us to let him rest when he got home from work. We knew why, she also knew he had a tuff time with dealing with the war. My mom was a wonderful women that help him a lot dealing with PTSD. I was blessed with great parents. God bless young man and again thank you for your videos.👍♥️

[@andreashaynes3346]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours, BRAVO. Great job Sean!! You’re a good man. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love from Wisconsin USA 🇺🇸

Gday Denise, thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@juliegoodwin5391]

Well said, you are doing a great job, changing peoples lives one lawn at a time. You are making a positive difference to those who receive the free help and it’s great to watch, everyone needs help sometime, stay well you do inspire

[@elizabethchetwood1916]

Sean, first let me thank you for your service! Even if it wasn’t in one of the Armed Services here in the USA, you still stood and faced what most run away from! I do take exception to something you said, “I’ve taken a step down from things I’m qualified to do “. I would argue that life has given you an opportunity to step UP, both in your personal satisfaction and in helping your community! You are increasing the quality of life for people in need, people who most look past and ignore. That, my dear Sir, is NOT a step down. Love and hugs from this Sovereign Citizen, from what is still a Constitutional Republic!

Good morning, Sean , Thank you for your Kindness and Helping our Veterans, I come from 3 generations of Veterans, just a smile and a kind words can make a difference. Bethany, PA. ...USA

I like the rediscovery of the fence. Nice William will be arriving as well. Chipping was a good thought. Still amazing how instantly edging starts changing the appearance of an area. I am laughing with the reappearance of disappeared beds. The recovery of the overgrown grass, angling all over the place, is a actually a "Wow". Your persistence, cross mowing, mowing at different heights, etc. really pays off in results. Nice job you two!

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Thanks 👍

[@barbkeil-burton6894]

[@karenfutcher8988]

You're a brave man for not only serving our country but more importantly for sharing such a personal & debilitating illness. Genuine people are rare & you're a gem 😊

[@michellelegg8793]

Great to see that fence appear! You obviously have a gift for Service; First to your country and now to the Community and Individuals. Puppy loved it too!

[@LadyLeigh]

Tnks for being so open about your background and health issues. This kind of work is cathartic and being your own boss also makes a great difference. So glad you have found some peace in the kind of work you do now! I have suffered mental health issues and managed to work for 30 odd years but then it all came to a boil and I had major depression issues. You do have bad days but as you have said sometimes you just spring out of bed and want to get on with things! You are doing amazing things Sean and heaps of people love your channel! 👍🏼🇦🇺

[@larryfeeks6620]

I had you pegged for a former footballer. Thank you for serving your country! You've made quite a transformation with this property!
