This week we were notified by a lady who has never used her back yard. The Neighbor down the road continues to call code compliance on her for everything. You won’t what we found buried underneath this Overgrown grass. To make matters worse, she saved the neighbors life in the past but they still continue to call code compliance, wait until you hear this story. She was left speechless that we cleaned it for free!
Grab a coffee, toss your legs up on the chair and enjoy this lady’s story as you get to watch us mow this yard several times. Wait until you see her response at the end, this is why we do this!

You would have thought the pastor would have had empathy and made a few phone calls to see how he could help. The man has no heart.

You trusting in Bill and giving him a job working with you has helped him get his own self respect back. Good for you Erick. Too much hate in the world.

[@bobertforher]

[@darlamowry1437]

@@elizabethcollins8445 Wow - first off when Erik hired him, Bill was to be a camera man. But if you watch all he videos with him in them, you do see him help out. Erik & his wife are giving him a help up, not a hand out. Please be kind. I can only imagine how much Bill's confidence level in himself has risen, knowing that there are kind people like Erik who are willing to give a homeless person a chance to make a change. Self respect is crucial.

[@jsparklies]

@@elizabethcollins8445 If Bill was hired as a camera man, he is already going above and beyond his duties, to help. He doesn't have to, but he is, and I think that says a lot about his integrity, and willingness to help!

[@teresacartwright5406]

I'm so happy that Bill is continuing to work with you. It's amazing how much stability that routine provides to your life. The complaining neighbour needs to hear what my grandmother used to say: "The evil you wish on others will come back double to you". The lady needs a privacy fence so he can't spy on her! You both did an exceptional job with a great result.

Bill is amazing!

It's good to see Bill again, and besides the camera work, he's pitching in to help you, too! What a great guy!!! It was very nice that you were able to help this lady out with her yard! It definitely was an improvement!!! Her story was kind of sad. She saves the neighbor's life, and he is mean to her after. I'd say there must be something mentally wrong with that man! It's a sad world we live in, but then you found Bill and brighten up his life!!! We have to look for the positive in life to live in this world!

[@smedina146]

INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION, Eric! So happy to see that Bill is around and helping as much as he can. He has his own limitations but is certainly helping you out. That is amazing! Plus he seems like pretty good company, too. I felt awful for this lady. She has stepped up more than once in the neighborhood it sounds like and to save her neighbor's life... he could have bled-out from the condition he has! She was more of a Christian that day, the good Samaritan, than that old crotchety CHRISTIAN PASTOR knows how to be. He could learn a thing or two from all of you. I'm so happy you blessed her, because she really needed it and deserved it. Thanks again, Eric. I appreciate you. Blessings from the great Pacific Northwest, Lakewood, Washington! 💛🖤💛

Bill seems to be in such a better mood, good to see. Doesn't surprise me about the pastor, seems like even they don't want to help people anymore. I called 2 local churches that says right on their websites that they help seniors. I called, left name and number and they didn't even bother to call me back. One is less than a mile from my house.

The relationship between you and Bill is just awesome. He seems to be getting self respect back and social interaction between your clients seems to be a boundary for you so you can focus on what you’re doing.

So happy to see that Bill is still helping you. Another job well done!!! She seems like a very sweet lady. It would be nice if instead of calling code enforcement people would just help. Most would not want their yards looking like a jungle. So, there must be a reason it looks that way. Apparently they can't fix the problem themselves either financially or physically, so why not be a blessing and help??? Don't get them fines they can't afford to pay because if they had that kind of money the yard wouldn't look that way!!! DUH!!! How about not making things worse for your fellow man...smh. Thank you for all the selfless acts of kindness that you show people, Erik. You are a shining example of a great human being for your sons, and everyone who watches your videos.

Hey Eric. Just love your videos and how your willing to help the neighbors. Bill has to be so careful pulling on things with the surgery he had on his back. It looks like they went through the front of his neck and throat to get to the back of his neck. Very dangerous surgery and takes months are years to heal. Im sure he feels guilty standing there watching you work so he pitching in. I know hes so appreciative that you were willing to help him .Hes needs to be so careful not to injured his back are neck again.

Erik when you and your wife reached out to Bill you provided an opportunity for him to reconnect and find new purpose in life.

Thank you and your wife for making the difference not just for Bill but also for those folks like this women many times we don’t realize the impact we can make on other people lifes. When you finish one of these cleanup you can look back and see the fruits of your labors. Well done never let the naysayers stop you from your awesome mission of love .
