Hans just found out we did a go fund me for him! Here’s how it went. Part 2

[@ScarletHeather76]

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.

[@Ashley-ku7is]

The world has always been full of awful people who do awful things to each other. But it's also been full of loving and generous people too. I hope your daughter can see that there are tons of us out there all over the world with loving, caring hearts.

[@ScarletHeather76]

@@Ashley-ku7is I always try to show her people doing good things to make it as tangible as possible. I am also fortunate she's not glued to her phone or addicted to social media.

[@lorriekimball6877]

ScarletHeather76, well said

[@lindawalker4230]

You guys are such nice people ❤️

[@Debbie10222]

Tears were running down my face hearing you say this has turned from providing heat for Hans, to a home for Hans. This was music to my ears. The KZbin community performed above and beyond today!! Everyone should be so proud! Thanks Alex and Melissa.

[@stefanhagerman1284]

This is the power of the masses. :)

[@yswaida]

i think the people go help Hans beside Hans him self .its bcz of you Alex we trust you and we can feel the honest in your voice GOD BLESS YOU ALL

[@rachelembletonpalmer5891]

Helping Hanz .... Great name for a utube channel

[@galaxia4709]

I guess the next series is House Hunting for Hans, yuppie! :D

[@WillowsDream]

And helping him decorate and find furniture, oh yes Alex & Hanz in the Ambulance going picking for Han's house stuff. :)

[@LessThanThree76]

THIS!

[@eileenw6002]

This would be awesome

[@Keith-jl9ll]

To continue with the Puns. We now have to change “Touched by an Angel” to “Touched by an Archbold”. You are truly a saint and you have my whole family in tears with what an upstanding man and family that you have. The world needs more people like you.

[@Lylo-mj8ek]

Amen! Keith.

[@Keith-jl9ll]

lynn loshe I am just blown away by this family. People have told me to be careful of scammers. I have no doubt after watching for over a year now that Alex and all his friends that I follow are the real deal.

[@themightyrev5228]

@Linda Catz oh snap linda

[@Keith-jl9ll]

Linda Catz that is a great one. How about no Hans out. But whatever you can give....it is something they used to put on the billboard of my childhood church.

[@angelisasommars7981]

Perfect!!!

[@pinkbarracuda6764]

You and Melissa are beautiful human beings. Thank you for being so lovely.

[@claysmell]

One of the few places where I'm not pessimistic about the human race. Got a lump in my throat seeing it over 35K already. Holy crap... Well done folks.

[@langstoncsjr]

Alex, I'm going to be brutally honest here... GOOD people attract GOOD people. I knew when I first saw the Potters House series that I was watching a genuinely good human being. 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.

[@catherinerandall1966]

Beautifully said.

[@thundermeowz2714]

The things people share brings me to tears and restores my faith in community. It is so heartwarming to be a part of. Thankyou Alex and family, Pure sound, this wonderful group of people and especially to Hans.

[@kellydickey7876]

Tell Hans that by accepting our help, he’s allowing all of us to feel the joy he does when he helps someone. That way he’s still doing something kind for someone else. God bless all of you for helping! ❤️

[@jiaraanatalis1862]

Get one of those tiny home kits and have you, Josh and Jakota help him build it! How awesome would that be for Hans, and we would get to see our favorite crew together again!

[@renewedhope9177]

That's a Great Idea but with Winter coming on, they're probably trying to get their own personal lives situated before the snow flies.. good idea though.. unless some VIKING VOLUNTEERS.. WOULD COME IN .. OLD FASHIONED HOUSE RAISING..Hmm could be done in 4-5 days.. I witnessed many going up.. men worked wood.. woman cooked.. It was Soo much FUN... & Heart Filled... !

Glad to help out Hans...he's funny and a little eccentric, and I like that in a person. If he ends up getting a house, or motor home, make SURE he buys insurance for it!

[@GiGi-to-Three]

Since he is now getting a home, consider using some money to get him some furniture. A 5th wheel he has no furniture as it is all built into the trailer. Looking forward to the Hans series. Thank you Alex, Melissa and youtubers who donated!!

Well yesterday I said I couldn't donate because I live day to day as well.. I said I would if I could .. so yesturday I sold an old cast iron bath that I was going to put into my place ...and the money has been donated to Hans He has more need of it right now. I can wait for my bath. Hans can't wait for a house It's up to over 32,000$ now. Best of luck from France

Lovely gesture, Alex! Don´t know Hans, but a home is the ultimate gift for who seems to be an angel on Earth! Thumbs up from Norway!!

[@dyannejohnson6184]

Maybe some mobile home company is willing to fund match!?

[@joycewilliams967]

Dyanne Johnson I was thinking that myself!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@bluewaterpines8323]

@Linda Catz great idea!

[@vibranthorror8992]

Good thinking😊

[@greyeaglem]

@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.

[@celinemullins4604]

That would be brilliant

[@lisaleigh2278]

Wow! Just checked the go fund me site!!! Over $45,000!!! That’s fantastic!!!

Oh how wonderful. I looked and saw folks were giving $5 and I thought even I can do that. So happy it’s so good for him.

[@loriwagner6299]

You are really kind caring amazing people! The people that say they don't need the help, that they're fine,are the people that need it the most. Thank you for helping him.

It just amazes me that in such a short time, so many people from countries all over the world came together to help a fellow human being in need. That's what has brought me to tears. Thank you Alex for doing this for Hans, and for restoring my faith in my fellow humans.

Hans is a good Scandinavian. Always happy to help others , but never wants to ask for help. As soon as we can we are going to help out. You guys are so sweet and so kind. Blessings give blessings. I'd say give him a hug for us, but a Dane would want a good strong handshake.

[@greyeaglem]

I love it when the people who are always helping others get their reward. It seems like they never feel like they need help and are sometime embarrassed by it, but that's what karma is, reaping what you sow. Good for Hans and kudos to Alex's fans.

Fantastic Alex! And I second what Linda Catz said...please leave the fund up for those of us on social security...at least through the 1st 2 weeks of November. Even though you'll get the mobile home for him likely before that, whatever is extra can still be used for the incidentals like license/registration, propane, etc.
