My fourteen year old lays up at night with anxiety about the state of the world we live in. I just had her in to watch this and now she's gone to bed with a happy heart for once. Helping out a great guy like Hans is just dropping a rock in the water. The ripples can go on for ages. You're not just doing good. You're inspiring good in others. It's truly wonderful to see this.

The power of positivity is an amazing thing. I love Hans and I love you guys as well. it's has been a great joy to share in your adventures, so much so, that when I get my breaks from deployment twice a year, I share you guys with my family. You bring a light into what is, otherwise, a pretty desolate existence for me. Know that I appreciate you and your family and wish you nothing but the best. I'll be here supporting you in the limited means that I can! Keep up the good work.

@Linda Catz It would still be expensive. A new single wide mobile home is in the $70,000+ range. I don't know his financial situation, but it appears he doesn't have much in the way of money. It's probably better for him to get something he can pay for outright and not have to worry about making payments. If his situation should change, he can always build something better later on. It sounds like he has trouble just paying for heat for a small camper, so the last thing he needs is something huge to heat with a mortgage attached.
