As a 60 year old man who lost everything back in 2018 I became homeless , with nowhere to turn and no family to help me out . I don't do shelters here in NYC because they're the pits . Anyway, I'm not looking for anything from you or anyone else but all i do wanna say is that you are an awesome young man and whoever else helped in making this project. I hope Todd is feeling and doing well.I just subscribed to your channel as I was watching and listening to what you was saying . Brother , it's people like you , those involved in things like this is what makes this worth living . Thank you for looking out for those in need of shelter. May God bless you always 💯❤️🙏🏻😇😎✌️👍
Wow, this comment means so much. I really appreciate you watching and supporting our channel. I plan on making many more videos like this to help people in need God bless you.❤️❤️
@@buildersblueprint Thank you Manny for the most important thing that you're doing which helping those in need . Remember this and you can believe it , everytime you help someone , you get it back double. Regardless of my situation, I help others out and mind you I'm not only homeless but I'm homeless with diabetes , high blood pressure, high cholesterol and in need of a hip replacement since 2016 . So regardless of all that you wouldn't think I would help people but I do because it makes me feel happy . So do what you do because you love it not because of CZcams. You know what I'm saying ? Peace , love and much respect to you my brother 💯❤️🙏😇😎👍💪
What you are doing Manny God Bless you keep up the great work. I joined so I can help generate some more revenue to be able to continue doing God's calling.
Amen God bless u all❤, 🙏
I too am not asking for ANYTHING but l lost the home l was renting for 11 years as the landlord sold it and l dont qualify for low income housing as l don't have 3 times the income to rent ratio, although l am 61 and disabled, it doesn't matter - so now my son is homeless as well... He is on the streets trying to survive and I am sleeping wherever I can, so this is just an amazing thing you are doing for others!!! There needs to be more ppl like this in the world... God Bless you!! ❤❤❤
Wow, I'm a 62 yo terminal cancer patient who is homeless with insulin dependant diabetes. Thank you for what you are doing and for making the videos that will assist those who maybe dont have your level of experience or skills. God bless you.
Really sorry about your cancer dude I’m going to pray for you. God bless ✌️
@@buildersblueprint God is with me through this. I was diagnosed twelve years ago with stage IV colon cancer and told I would be dead in two years or less. I've had three reoccurrences and have recently completed my latest treatment. Where I've beat it back again after being told I wouldn't make it this time again. God has given me this disease to demonstrate his grace and to go out and Bear witness and give my testimony. Praise Jesus that I can be used this way. I have been watching your videos today because this is what I want to do. Build me a trailer and travel around and witness. Mine has to be a little stronger frame wise because I need to bring a solar generator, dometic fridge/freezer composting toilet, a water reservoir.
I cried during the prayer. Thank you for all you do to make a positive impact on someone who really needs it. God bless you.
I will watch every single ad completely, that CZcams plays on your videos. .in this way, if it helps you in any kind, I will feel like being involved in your act of kindness (maybe a little bit). Keep doing your humanitarian work..❤
Wow thanks this means the world to us 🙏🙏
@@buildersblueprint welcome 🤗..
I don't know if anyone pointed this out yet, but the bag he's putting in at the end (9:41) is a sea bag issued to Navy and Marine Corps service members. Man has been through a lot.
Not to say he isn't a vet, but military surplus stores are favorites with the unhoused folks around here, since you can get high quality durable things for a decent price.
I am very glad to see people caring about the homeless. Every act of kindness helps.
Thanks I really appreciate you supporting our channel new video going up tomorrow morning ✌️❤️
It would be nice to see a simulation of the setup inside: bed/sleeping bag, storage, and anything else; also, in the morning when awake, the rolled sleeping bag and storage of things; and, last but not least, the hooking up of the bicycle to the trailer, and , riding off into the sunset 🌅 🙂
Woo, what a great idea. At least someone is trying to help. How about a lock for the cart. PS: beats the shopping carts.
He really seemed like a when it finally clicked it was true could tell Todds a good guy. It’s really awesome the things you do for strangers. Recommend a tarp of some kind to help with weather Sun🌞 or rain ☔️.
Good idea actually
Great job man! You are a blessing. I do however have a small suggestion. If the person is say 5’10, I think giving them at least 5-6 extra inches of length would be better also taking into account if they need a little bit of storage space for their personal items. Great work and thank you for all that you do.
Can you install a way to lock it from the inside (and outside) for safety & Protection ??
Duhhh
You can see at 5:40 they have a wooden latch on the inside that looks to be away from door gap. I also noticed the out side latch should be able to disengage from the inside I'd some one tries to prank you, so it seems to be thought out. Unfortunately there is only so much a lock can do for something like this since some one determined can cut the bike lock and take whole thing.
Need a lock on the bike too.
New subbie: this is the third video in a row that I've watched. Thank you for using the gifts of compassion and building skills that God gave you and your wife. God bless you in Jesus' name.
God bless you my brother ! Thanks again for being obedient to our Lord and Savior Jesus, by showing others the love of Jesus through you, I love you bro and thanks for inspiring other children of God to go out and help and love
Hey, I really appreciate it dude God bless you as well. We plan on making many more videos like this in the future. ✌️❤️
Amen 🙏
Saving a life is better than destroying a life God bless you 🙏❤️
I just subscribed, so maybe I've missed it, but would LOVE to see any follow up with the people you've helped. On the surface, these look like great projects! Positive follow-up might appease those with concerns with making recipients "targets" on the streets. Personally, I've always wanted to do EXACTLY what you're doing! Keep it up!
May God bless this young man and his wife for helping this homeless man surprise him by building a small trailer with a bike for where to sleep God bless this young man
Thank you I really appreciate it. God bless you.❤️
I'm so impressed by your sense of building and giving in order for this guy to turn his life around. If we all mentored one homeless person we could turn this around. God bless you...
That was amazing what you guys did for that homeless gentleman. God bless you guys. God is differently proud of you guys for sure.
THAT WAS FANTASTIC .....GREAT BUILD wwwhen we see those tiny tiny homes on the back of bikes we can say manny and hope built those , i love to see these people who have lost everything get somewhere safe to bed down for the night🕍🕌⛪💒🏰
My brother God bless you and your wife and I'm in South Africa I love to do this things in South Africa
You and your wife are so kind!!!! Everyone should be able to gave a home!! It breaks my heart to see someone having to live on the street. God bless you and your wife!!! You are wonderful and loving people!!!
The pure kindness on the mans face is priceless well done both of you x
You guys are awesome. Thank you for helping people. It would be a good idea if you add about 4 safe hooks inside on one of the walls so he can hang bags with his food, clothes and supplies.
Thank you very much. We plan on making many more videos like this so we may end up adding hooks in the next video. But thank you for watching.❤️
It is very good to have financial ability and skills that can help others
• watching from Melaka, Malaysia 🇲🇾🌺
Thanks I really appreciate you ❤️❤️
This is absolutely amazing!! Thank you all!
Thanks for watching ❤️
@@buildersblueprintrecommendations a better lock for the door and better seal around it, that way he has somewhere safe-ish to store his stuff but other than that epic as man
from here in the UK, you show me that there are some great Americans................ keep up the good work.
It isn't a lot, but hope anything received allows you to do more good in this corrupt and sad world. I know there are good people as you and your wife are the embodiment of it. Stay blessed and safe. 🇬🇧
shout out to the people who donated you guys are awesome
If we only had many more unselfish folks like you and your partner it could help out so many my prayers are with yous .
You should put the vents on the inside so whoever is in it can open and close the vents when it is cold. But awesome job
YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON ,I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO AND CRIED SO HARD ,KNOWING PEOPLE LIKE YOU STILL EXSIST IN A WORLD I NO LONGER UNDERSTAND.GOD BLESS YOU SIR ,MAY YOUR VISION REACH THE COMMUNITY HERE IN CALIFORNIA WHERE IT IS SO VERY BADLY NEEDED‼️‼️✝️☮️💖Sophie in Cali🗼
Bless you for doing that... But decking wood? Solar ?! Todd's gonna be real fit soon !
I think what might have been better is if you'd actually spoken to a homeless charity first because I don't think he's going to use the battery or the propane. And that door "lock" isn't going to keep him safe.
But you have thought about others and made something for them, and that is to be truly commended. Well done.
The trailer is extremely lightweight and very easy to pull with a bicycle. I spoke to Todd before making this video, and the man was literally living on the street with nothing to eat so this should help him get off the ground and hopefully give him some self-esteem to get a job and do better things with his life.
You changed his life right there, Thank you for being a kind person who cares for others. This is a solution that anyone can do for another person in need. I hope you can continue doing this for others. The world needs more people like you who care enough to make a change in another persons life, we don't need judgmental people who look for and place blame on the individual but who looks for a solution to help another out in their hour of need. ♥
This video made me cry happy tears god bless you guys for doing this to help out anybody out there that is homeless Todd is a really caring loving sweet person his reaction made me in tears of joy to see how he really saw it for the fist time his joy is the best god bless him hope you stay safe and have lots of cool adventures Todd 🙂
No human being should go outside you have the biggest heart God bless you for what you doing for other people because people like you are the ones who can change this world 🌍💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Ay bro this is an AMAZING thing your doing to help out the ppl in your community that are in need!….I kno Todd will be FOREVER grateful for what you and your wife? (Sorry if I was wrong on that) have done for him!….
Thanks dude I really appreciate you 🙏🙏❤️
You are one of Gods true soldiers and you'll be known throughout CZcams this time next year . I admire the kind hearted person you and your wife are for the things you do for those less fortunate !!!💯❤🙏😇👋🙌💪✌️👍 Peace , love and much respect to you and your wife for you both are God's soldiers 💯❤️🙏😇👍
So beautiful you are a amazing person the world needs more people like you! Almost brings tears to my eyes knowing there is still hope in this world for humanity!
Really appreciate you 🙏🙏❤️
❤ I think it's awesome and a blessing what you do to help the homeless may God continue to bless you in the anointing

It's missing one important feature......... a door lock, lol. But it's really nice though. I would have went with one of those 100 watt flex panels, you could of taped it on top or the 100w hqst panels, those are pretty small in size
I want to do this in my City I live in Philadelphia and the Homeless Population is heartbreaking. So many young people are suffering and dying on the street
I know I completely feel what you’re saying. Hopefully we can inspire others to keep doing the same. ✌️
You Are Amazing This Bike camper Turned Out Beautiful Just As your Heart....God Bless This Man In Need Protect him And Shield him from all Harm. And fill him with So Much Love. And Thank You For Sending Him The Help He Needs Thru These Beautiful People. I Love You❤😂
Wow thanks so much. I really appreciate it. God bless and thanks for watching ✌️❤️
Thank you for making a difference and showing the love of Jesus through your kindness and provisions love your neighbor like you love yourself Amen
Хорошие, добрые люди. Хорошо, что есть такие как вы. Вера в людей ещё не потеряна. ❤
Such a good deed and story. We see too much disturbing violence and crime these days and what you have done and continue to do gives me hope for humanity.
Thanks for watching. We plan on making many more videos like this.❤️
You folks are angels... GOD bless these people you are helping.
This is so beautiful and wholesome ❤️ brought tears to my eyes. God bless them
Thanks I really appreciate you watching and supporting my channel good bless you my friend ❤️❤️
Possible upgrades: rechargeable LED lights, a window, a more secure and tighter fitting door. I really hope he was able to keep the home. I can see authorities evicting him from every place he tries to park it to sleep at night.
You and your wife is AWESOME! God bless you and Todd in Jesus name.
My wife and I are going to follow suite and do the same for someone in our community.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Wow, I didn’t expect this video to inspire so many people I appreciate it ❤️ God bless you
ake a living out of this, big demand right now for small trailers!
Big shout out to y’all for donating your time and expertise to make a life changing difference in these people’s life. Anyone who hasn’t been homeless probably would find it hard to see how huge what y’all do really is. That man’s quality of life just skyrocketed. when you live on the streets your safety, comfortability, health, and mental health decrease. It is literally exhausting you have no where you truly feel safe everything you own either has to go everywhere you go or stashed in a hiding spot that you just hope will stay hidden until you get back to it so you don’t loose everything you have. that bike, tiny home, items gives him a place to feel safe at night that keeps the elements bout transportation to and from work storage for his belongings a way to cook for and boil water and a sense of security that might just be enough to make it possible to have a healthy job and save enough to get a permanent place to call home it’s next to impossible get or hold down a job living in the streets for so many reasons. with all that being said i think it’s safe to say that his life just got 1,000 percent better and it’s all because two people decided that wanted to make a real difference in someone life and i am just going from homeless to living in a van and the little money i am able to make when i can has to go to slowly getting everything i need to make it seem less like a vehicle and more like a home. but when i get my can in l livable condition l will definitely support the go fund me i already have it bookmarked for when i can. what y’all are doing is absolutely amazing and i am excited to see how many lives y’all are going to change i’m willing to bet if you keep up with it y’all will surprise yourself with how many live you are able to better
Manny & Hope you both are very kind in helping him out. ❤❤
Thanks we just finished another one and will be posting the video tomorrow morning ❤️❤️
Absolutely wonderful gift. May God bless you and your family for helping others.
I like that you left a part open in the front for ventilation but I think it would be better if it hung over a little bit, it would also have been my choice for running the cord inside.. Have you watched paul elkins and his coraplast campers? I may have asked you that already
The front part does overlap by 1 inch so water should not get in hopefully and I have not had a chance to watch Paul Elkins videos quite yet, but I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@buildersblueprint ok, it didnt look like it stuck over in the video.. Are the vents screened? I was thinking about this last night, Bikes break down a lot, wouldnt a 3wheeled push cart work better over the long run? Of course thats if the local law doesnt confiscate their mobile homes!
I love to watch charity Vlogger, i like this trailer, in my country mostly charity Vlogger also ia full package if they give house to the people in need
I must admit I watch a lot of videos. Thousands of people are on here...no one like you. What a beautiful way to help someone. You have a huge heart.
Excellent video! Hopefully all that's receives these blessing, continue going forward for an even better life...
This is so good!! You guys are really making a difference!! LOVE THIS!!!
Thanks mary Beth ❤️
I loved you praying for him and saying God bless!
I didn't realize these things are so "easy" to make. They did a great job and a good thing. ❤
Yeah they’re not too bad we plan on continuing to build more and hopefully continue to upgrade them to be better and better. ❤️
Can you do a video following up on the people you helped? It would help see if they ran into any problems, so you could know which things work and which things don't, for future builds.
Inspiration to the fullest!! U a star 🌟 bruh..Shout out to Todd as well,it isn't easy accepting things from strangers especially when u not use to it.
Thank you I really appreciate this comment. It means a lot. ❤️
What a great thing to do!! On your next build you should add a storage compartment under the rear half of the trailer with a pullout drawer on glides and mount the battery underneath. Thank you for what you do.
It has to stay lightweight though to pull.
I Thank you for Loving thy neighbor as Thyself...
That's what it's all about...Peace & Blessings 🕊️🌿
Really appreciate you and may God bless you as well my friend ✌️❤️
Love this so much. Love all the upgrades you added as well. Keep it up
Thanks for watching we plan on continuing to make many more videos like this ✌️
I love that your doing this. I feel so bad for the homeless. Im not homeless but if the rents keep going up i might be. But i also have the mentality from being raised in the military to always be prepared to bug out. I have a van thats set up to live and four tents. Camping equipment. And a back of a truck bed as a trailer
Include propane burner w/ a couple of small propane tanks small pot, small trying pan for eggs! Awesome 👍
Alleluia May God be with that man and all who did this for him
❤❤❤ Manny praise be to God for your kindness and desire. I hope and pray that you continue your mission. 🎉
If there were more people like you in the world it would be a better place.Me and my wife were homeless because of covid for a year and a half.and we are looking at being that way again. People like to pass judgment without knowing the whole story not homeless people are that way by choice some are there by circumstances.You guys are a blessing
I can't think of a more worthwhile project to spend your spare time on! Well done!! ❤
Thanks ❤️
May you be able to help other/more homeless people soon ❤️ and I hope that you will be blessed for helping them 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks I really appreciate you saying this. ❤️
God bless you, as I said before you have a really big kind heart ❤️
A locking door on the camper would be nice so the power station does not grow legs and walk away . Great job .
I think if you're going to invest in a generator and solar panel, the vessel itself should be better constructed. Maybe better and/or stronger materials. I understand you want to go light, but maybe an electric assist bike and a more stable floor and frame. Maybe a shelve or two. And even with the washers, a few bumps and those metal screws are going to tear into those panels.
We plan on continuing to make videos like this and hopefully we can collect the funds to continue to make them better and better. ✌️
I suggest reinforcement with coroplast panels. Still light and affordable but more durable. Would work really well with the insulation. Usually people just build the superlight version with cloroplast. I think these two materials together would be perfect. Go watch some of Paul Elkin's videos!
God bless you all and thank you for caring
This is absolutely amazing guys thank U so much for doing this for him U guys R So Awesome. Mucho Love From Your Friend In Michigan Tam 💜💜p.s. You should have give him a plexiglass window It would have been light And that heavy like glass
Thank you Tammy. I appreciate you supporting us so much. We plan on making another one in the next few days. ❤️
God bless you both for kindness and hard work❤
Thank you I really appreciate it ❤️
Thank you so very much for uploading sharing and mostly caring! Keep up the sweet generous thought. All the best, ♥️ from the 🇵🇭
It's stuff like this that shows how beautiful humans can be when we think of others instead of just wanting more and more for are shelf nice one guy's you should be proud for doing such a nice thing for someone you didn't really know 😇✌💚
Thank you I really appreciate this comment new video going up tomorrow morning. Let me know how you like it. ❤️❤️
@@buildersblueprint I sure will do cheers man ✌
Awesome job. That door has a lot of movement in it when he was riding away at the end you could see it bouncing. Might need a brace. But awesome job I’m thinking about building this design for myself👍
Thank you it does seem a little wobbly but I think it’s because the entire thing is made out of foam insulation. But it doesn’t really move much more than that. It’s surprisingly sturdy for what it is.
@@buildersblueprint it definitely is an improvement over your first build. I’ve been studying bicycle campers extensively. If you haven’t already looked them up look up bike stream rv and Paul elkins bicycle camper. Awesome lightweight campers made from corrugated plastic or coroplast.
It does not seem sealed at all either. Maybe a shelf in there for the items and a rubber mat floor lights inside?
window at least one.. Hod do you seal the door closed from inside?
A place to put the stove...
@@patriciatusay1768 I'd be concerned about damaging the floor. I can't imagine that foam board can handle a whole lot of traffic.
A sheet of plywood over the foam for a floor would add several pounds but would be a necessity for my piece of mind lol
@@patriciatusay1768A window on each side for light and air. I'm claustrophobic.
You guys are beautiful people. This made me cry.
God bless you!
Thanks I really appreciate you 🙏🙏❤️
Excellent ! Very kind of you to help the needy people ! 🙏! Thank you forever !
Its sad that the goverment isn't do this type òf thing... thanx for what you are doing... anyone could end up homeless all it takes is bad luck and everyone turns the back... thanx again...
A tarp to cover it like a rain fly might be a good addition to the kit. It would save weather wear and tear and make it last longer.
yeah man god bless all good guys... since three years iam homeless iin germoney, i dont get new flat. now i save all money i can get and trry to find people for suporrting me and building up my rollin home... my first dream come true last summer.. iget my first reverse tricycle.. that was the sign..... so now iam planing my mini camper...
Some suggestions- for things to get from Walmart: a nice pair of cargo pants that he can use as dress pants and a couple of nice polo shirts and a good pair of nice work shoes that look dressy. Also a good experience to donate would be a full wash cut and shave at the Sports Cut that's likely connected to the Walmart and maybe even a manicure at the salon that's probably connected too. Also if you do this again in a rainy climate, a better raincoat/poncho situation. Also tip- if you get them propane or similar stoves make sure they know to use them outside or get them an alcohol stove that can be used inside.
Keep up the good work though, you guys are doing great things!
Some free meth and a bed at your place too right ?
Thank you thank you for saving somebody's life 🙏❤️🙏❤️
If this video is true...
God Bless you and yours!
And as a person that is living in my van with my pup with not much makes me want to do more. (Not only for myself but others.)
A Sincerest thank you from Denver, Colorado,
Eric and a Blue Heeler ❤️
Times are getting hard metal door w/ real locks maybe alarm system like cars. They may steal it from him while he's in the store!
Awe made me cry Thank you for helping others in need your awesome a may God continue to bless you
It nice to see people hands on helping the poor. Ask the hard ware store for donations for materials. They will help if you offer something in return.
I think this bike camper setup is the PERFECT way to help out the homeless. They're mobile, small and absolutely awesome. I have one criticism though. That door you made really needs improvement. There's a gap at the top that will probably not be waterproof at all. Also, That latch does not look very secure at all. I also think that with every door needs a small latch on the inside for extra security while they are sleeping. I only want to make helpful suggestions. You and your wife and everybody helping out here are absolute angels for doing this. God bless you all.
Thank you I really appreciate you watching and commenting on this video. We plan on continuing to make these tiny home bike campers better and better a new video will be out within the next week and I hope to see you in the comment section again soon. 🙏❤️
@@buildersblueprint What you're doing is amazing, and you have a new subscriber and fan. I'll be back when you are. Keep up the awesome work :)
Don't criticize,think what he can do to make it better,it is a whole lot better than what he had.
You are a hero Dude, you are the true DUDE! Thank you for your work and love for the people outside the A4 sheet.
Wow thanks so much homie. In the process of building another and the full video will be up soon. Thanks for watching and God bless ✌️❤️
Thank you for doing this.
Thanks for watching. We plan on continuing to make many more videos like this.✌️
I subscribed for the reason that y’all help the homeless. Thank you for what y’all did for Todd I believe Todd is at the beginning of a better life due to this bike camper.
Thanks dude I really appreciate it. We’re currently working on another project and will be posting it in a few days.❤️
What an awesome thing to do! I am grateful for your kind and benevolent heart and In sure he is too! God bless you all!
You guys are amazing ❤❤❤❤ never let your light dim! thank you for all you do to help others wishing you many blessings and opportunities to come ❤❤❤
I love videos like this because it helps make life a little easier and happier for more homeless people, it's motivation for you to do more like this too.
Thank you for helping these people
