After my husband had a stroke, my elderly neighbor mowed our lawn for months. I could not have been more grateful for his help during that time, and when his wife had to have back surgery, I piled their freezer high with ready-to-bake casseroles. They also got help from other neighbors who knew how he had helped us, and the spirit of giving and helping in our little trailer park here has blossomed. We all have each others backs, and it started with this one man. :) God bless him.

My grandson and I had a small lawn maintenance business until he went to college. So I have good quality commercial equipment and no justification until now. We have several young families near us and I started cutting their yards pro bono so Dad can have weekend time with the kids. Paying it forward buddy. Keep up the good work. BTW I have done battle with a couple of faucets myself. No good deed goes unpunished.

Its good to see your getting support as well as a way to get an income and the amount of wear and tear this does to your body is going to impact you when you get older as well, the debris, knee issues, and what not. So any patron contributions is fair and the cost to operate these machines.
