Hans Update! From an unheated trailer to a home, what has changed?

I figured it was time to check in on Hans and see how he was doing! It’s almost been a year since the fundraiser got him a home, but the house isn’t all that’s changed since then!
Watch today’s update and see how Hans is doing now and... check out his KZbin channel ‘helpinghans’ where he does handyman tutorials and construction videos :)

[@portialipton]

Hans looks so healthy!!! He looks 20 years younger!

The butterfly effect from all the good you do is so strong. You changed a life, now Hans is trying to change lives. If everyone put their hands out and gave someone a leg up, just so they could get a good start, the world would be so much better. Kindness is such a strength and there should be more of it.

Ever since I first saw Hans during the Potter house, I cant imagine Vikings as talking like anything but in Hans' voice. It is absolutely wonderful to see Hans doing so well

[@ah5721]

The Vikings had families and homes to. They weren't all rough shod raiders. The Norse: traded fished farmed, cleaned up with nail picks ear scoops and had copious amounts of combs with well kept hair & beards.

[@jsweevil]

@@ah5721 Oh yes I know, but somehow everyone has them yelling and mean and all I can hear is that hearty laugh and the tones and inflections in his voice and now that's how I hear them when I think about them.

[@ah5721]

@@jsweevil that's a movie depicted stereotype. I'm pretty sure many Norse were more like Hans than the barbaric account told of them by the English to demonize them as a scary "other" and devil's. That's how we got the depictions of horned helmets is the comparisons to the devil's having horns.
