- HE SAID THIS SIDEWALK HASNT BEEN TOUCHED IN YEARS!!! When I stumbled along this widewalk a kind man told me the background story behind why it's so overgrown. He also told me his story and offered to help with cutting it down because the cops have harassed him from being on the road but theres now way he could walk on the sidewalk with the over growth.. LET ME KNOW WHAT YALL THINK of this makeover it was an awesome one and big thanks to Kevin for helping me with it!

thanks guys!
The best part of this was the man helping. Made him feel useful and alive, and to be a man. Millions of people just like him that only need a purpose and a start. Good job all around man.
Spot on
Spectacular job as always, looks amazing.
Men have a certain pride. They're workers and providers.
Seams like he is a good honest helper . Maybe he could help or your friends could give them and yourself a like work now and then and with your references Maybe he would get a go someplace and help get him and his wife of the street.
I agree 100%
This gentleman could be like many of us...only a few paychecks away from being homeless. You treated him with compassion and respect...well done, Al.
Yes for sure!
@@thorkinsey4793 I agree with you , so many people on the edge of being Kevin. Not trying to be political here but it sure wasn't this bad a short couple of years ago..
God Bless you and stay safe out there
troubling parts is he is homeless, while playing a nearly impossible lottery. it is not an investment, yet Kevin rely on it for dreams. He probably had a decent home, but got taxed out of it or had zero retirement
@@4431charliewhen was it not like this a couple of years ago? You mean when President Obama had the country going great? It sure wasn't when that orange conman was in office! You were trying to make it political when you said a couple of years ago and you thought people wouldn't realize it! Typical!
The man helping seems to be a great worker. Prayerfully someone will see your video and will hire him. Thank you for helping him out.
I know. He is a hard worker and has a good character. He just needs a chance. Anyone of us watching this might have landed in the same circumstance he is in. What a cute little doggy he has.
Love the way homeless guy shows up on time to help, he is better than most.
Bless both of them.
Al isn’t homeless and I thought the helper was owner 🤔🥴❤️
As a member of the "transient" (homeless) community, i want to thank you for treating that gentleman with respect. So many times, we are look at/treated like we are less than human. The world needs more people like you, I think
Awesome mate human kindness respect & paying the helper was too good.
Best of wishes. Hope one day you get back on your feet. I was homeless once for a short time.
Getting back on your feet is possible I've had a home two years now and I work for a homeless help agency doing housekeeping for a step program hotel the same one who allowed me shelter to get off the street. Good luck to you keep praying and don't give up bud....
@@ottomatic7823 is called a phone.... state funds give them for free....
@@ottomatic7823 no, i have a cell phone
Fantastic job. You eliminated a big safety hazard and helped out a homeless man too. Thats what I call true community service.
@@aemyay5169Pediatricians?That's a Dr 🤣Huge weeds they were a little more than huge weeds they were huge branches don't you check what your writing b4 you hit the post button? DUMMY
Good for you for not looking down your nose at him, Al. You treated him with respect and brotherly love. All we are is all that love brings.
I am amazed, but also saddened that a city would allow a public sidewalk to become so neglected and overrun. I have to use a mobility wheelchair to get around my city and I have to constantly watch out for hazards of damaged, broken, and overgrown vegetation.
Thank you for caring!❤
Yeah, it was obvious that it was designed also to facilitate those in wheelchairs to navigate that little curve safely. Not only did this improve the situation for those such as yourself, but I think that it was impeding the line of vision for drivers coming around that curve. On top of it all this improvement was no doubt performed using state or federal funding and then they’ve just let itdeteriorate like that
🙏 Good job a very good job 💯👍❣️
Love your work
If you have mobility problems, you're lucky to find ANY sidewalk, most are broken, don't have cutaways to get on & off, end suddenly in the middle of nowherez ❤have no crosswalks, are overgriwb or there are tree roots that make them impassable.
Restrooms have super heavy doors in public places - healthcare facilities are the WORST.
Mobility services are extremely limited & orovate services are driven out by subsidized public services. Ramps to get on & off public transportation are a danger to everyine, they detect a standing a dult but not a small xhild or someone in a wheelchair.
What Al does, es9. here, is a true gift from God for thise of us who struggle with mobility, esp. if mpbility issues are compounded by severe pain as they are with me. And the DEW has decided thebopioid crisis is solely because ofnpain oatients so while addicts shoot uo on the street & no onenhelps them get free, pain patients struggle to ger very mild pain medicine. Many could still wprk and pay taxes if they could get the paintp ease off (chronic pain never goes away fully, it just eases enough to bear). Pain also causes fatigue, which makes the pain worse in a vicious cycle.
So Al, THANK YOU for this.
Scouts looking for a project how about foghting for handicapped friendly sidewalks in your communities? Gather support one sidewalk at a time, get petitions signed, submit to elected officials, post on social media, get other troops involved in your area. This would be community service as well and would be inclusive of differently abled people.
In Poland when you drink beer in summer on your sidewalk you will get ticket from police because we cant drink in public places. But when winter comes you are responsible for removing ice from sidewalk and then its yours not public. Until you decide to drink beer after removing ice as then its public again
I imagine those tools and the power to operate them don’t come cheap, so I hope you’re making enough from your channel to cover everything. I also hope you have inspired a few people to do something similar. Thank you.
It's disgusting how the city let that sidewalk get so unusable. Great job guys!
. . . but the local constabulary had the time and money to waist harassing a pedal-destrian !
They mentioned Wal-Mart, it was probably their sidewalk.
@@michspill2001 It looked like it was on a roadway. Walmart wouldn't have sidewalks.
@@michspill2001 No, I think it's on the city easement/right of way. Actually, I'm surprised a cop didn't come by and fine Al for doing unauthorized work in the city easement.
It was a beautiful job...on a beautiful sidewalk...as someone said...so much safer..❤❤
You’re a real one for letting him help you, you made his day. You can tell he felt so good about helping you. Good job AB!!!
I cried because two Good Samaritans helping each other. Thank you for sharing. Have an amazing day!
Thank you for clearing up a sidewalk and helping this man. No one should ever have to live on the streets in this country, but this man worked and helped clean up a sidewalk the city should have been maintaining....
Is private property
City streets are maintained by local governments. That's part if where tax dollars go..
This makes the pavements and roads safer. For now pedestrians don't have to leave the pavement and motorists don't have to worry about hitting a stray pedestrian.
This video is not about the missing sidewalk or mowing. it didn't even matter. This video is about humanity, affection, respect and love for others. Congratulations man
I'd say, it is about both: A man, who many would call "useless" helping to make this place a lot safer for everyone - obviously for pedestrians, but even for drivers due to bad visibility.
I can be about more than just one thing. It is a solid sign of how lax the city has been about maintaining it too.
well said 👍
God bless you for saving that. We humans are all part of a very old, very large family, called Man. We more fortunate need to help the less fortunate of our big family.
It's both. He helped EVERYONE there not just 1 guy. And he should send a bill to the city for his public service
Pretty sad that the city workers doesn’t have enough pride in their town to keep things clean and mowed. You did a wonderful job. And so did your helper.
its not a matter of pride, its a matter of the cycle of money, take tax dollars to "improve" sidewalk access. don't improve side walk access, and on top of that harass, ticket, fine, penalize anyone that has to maneuver around said blocked sidewalks. mo money, mo money, mo money!!!!
that isnt how the system works, the city has them hired and tells them where to go, so basically the city doesnt fund grass cutting/workers enough to keep up with demand. the workers will work and go anywhere they are told to, has nothing to do with their pride.
The government from the mayor up to the Prez. don't care.
It’s a shopping center so the corporations that own the center is in charge of cleaning up their property , and if that was like that up here in Philly , they’d be sued by a pedestrian’s and the township would fine them on top of.
The police would rather harass the homeless ppl than make a call to the right authorities to get city workers to do their jobs! SMH
I love that you included this man in your video! The little conversations were nice to hear in addition to watching you 2 work together. Two great guys!
He showed soo much compassion to the elderly man. It was a beautiful sight to see!!
Why doesn't code enforcement write citations to the city for allowing the sidewalks to get that bad? They should have had that cleared out long before it became impassable. If the city can't be responsible enough to maintain public sidewalks, they have zero business requiring residents to maintain their lawns. Thank you, Al and Kevin for doing the city's job for them. What a wonderful thing you've done!!
You know what, you are 💯right… That whole path between two properties was in complete violation… How can you have a sidewalk there for everyone, including the HANDICAP ACCESS on both ends!?!? I bet they missed that one instead of harassing other people in the residential neighborhood around there…👍🏾
EXACTLY!!
It Looks like Sanford Florida next to the Hospital. But the Lake Monroe road is very Pretty right next to it. SMH
@Nana...had the city been cited they would have claimed 'qualified immunity" just like the cops do!
Shame on the city’s neglect. Great job.
This man worked harder and more efficiently than most people I’ve hired. Thank you for hiring him and paying him. He certainly didn’t expect it. And thank you for what you do!
I think he was hoping to get paid (how could he not?) but put trust in the goodness of someone he had just met.
money earned will be spent intelligently. money given will be wasted.
he didnt/doesnt but cool comment for the internet. Here's another like
And boy did he appreciate it!
Genial por los dos.
In my state the property owner would be getting fined for not keeping the sidewalk clear. In New England that usually means clear of snow and ice but plant growth is included. What I love about your videos is that you see something that needs fixing and you fix it. We need more people like you in the world. I love Kevin's response about what he'd do with the Powerball if he won. It's just too much money for one person. The 1% could learn a thing or two from Kevin.
This is likely public property owned by the city. They aren't going to fine themselves....
B@@JC-kx3itmaybe they should hire some homeless people to do that double win they make money and the city could be proud of their streets and sidewalks 😊❤
It was awesome the gentleman helping you and you helping him not only when finished but you showing him he's still needed and useful.
That city and police should be ashamed of themselves for letting that walk get like that. All those shots of the other sidewalks were all well kept. So glad you and that gentleman were able to get it cleaned up. What a blessing to the area.
They let it get that way because they could milk it for more money to live their fat pockets with through tickets and tax hikes in the promise that it will be fixed if they somehow got another $200,000 a month.
These too guys should get nice pay check from the city. Especially this guy using all of his own tools. Most definitely ! A job well done 💯
This town must be run by the Democrat's. They ruin everything !
You see were your tax dollars go. That city should be more than be ashamed of themselves. Hope the tax people see this video. This man is able to work. Someone give this homeless man a job.
Al you should get yourself a reflective shirt when you’re working in near any roadway for your safety.
You trusted him with your tools and everything . This day was probably the most useful and proud the dude has been in a long time. Much much much respect .
Of course he trusted him!!! Why not? Cause homeless ppl are thieves, addicts, or criminals? Most, not all but most, non homeless ppl would have "you trusted him with your tools" as their first thought. 😢
This was a honest man. He was on time. He was so happy, Why did the police clean it.
@@karenmorrisette5027I wouldn't trust a random person with my tools , Especially a bum with my tools
@@GregDomeyHellsAngels81This is what's wrong with our world right here.
Al , sometime i think
that you are not Real “!
The things you do for
people is unbelievable !
So nice! So kind ! and
compassionate ! 👏
Great contente, you made
that man very happy,
and me too 🙋♀️
God is watching and
blessing you 🙌💙
Two good men coming together to put in a solid day's work.
Seeing this really helped me just when I needed it most. 👍
Al, your work is always high quality and thorough. Not one weed survives in the cracks of sidewalks and driveways! Bravo Zulu.
Kevin is such an incredible asset to society as can easily be seen in this video. He genuinely brought himself forward and kept up with everything that was going on in this project. I pray someone with the means to give him a stable job and an opportunity to have a bigger purpose. Someone needs to hire him on and let him shine.
Thank you AL for allowing this gentleman to help you to help the community.
Can't believe the city didn't clean up that sidewalk. It was impassible.
You both did an awesome cleanup! 👍👍
How much safer it will be for all.
I wondered why the guy kept disappearing and it hit me. He was trying to stay out of Al's shot so he didn't unintentionally block the camera or anything. Such a sweet man to not only help but also being cognizant of the recording for us. Thank you Al for letting him lend a hand and paying him for a job well done. He did more for a stretch of sidewalk than most people do for their own yards when you come by.
He was carrying away the debri, that was hoe he was helping out.
Taking trimmings to the trailer. Makes me smile seeing people work together and do good things for all people in the community.
@@AlphaMR77 tbh that is more helpful than a lot of folks realize. picking up debris and getting it out of his way was a nice gesture.
@@derekp6636Yeah, it sped up the process considerably. They had a nice little system going.
The great thing is how nice you are to this homeless man. Some of them do want to work and this guy proved it! Thanks for helping him out. Great job also!
What a beautiful difference Al ... for the neighborhood & for the man who helped -- he worked hard & was just grateful. Much safer spot now. Ty!
For a police officer to go after a person for what he did and not contact the city to notify them of the problem and get it taken care of is unimaginable. This was a most excellent transformation sir and for the homeless gentleman to step up and help was inspiring and you giving him some cash to help out was awesome. Thanks for the video sir.
The officers probably reported it to the city or county road department. They have no authority to make them take care of the sidewalk. They were warning them because of the danger to them and drivers. She none needs to report it to the city or county commissioners.
Private property
Great job including him! That’s an awful busy road to not have a sidewalk.
What an amazing transformation! I'm amazed the city didn't do something about this a long time ago. God bless you, Al, for being so kind to that gentleman. He was such a kind man. I hope he and his wife have better fortune down the road.
Whenever the city is responsible for mowing something they always put it off to when it's ridiculously overgrown. At most they just do a quick once over on the grass.
Thank you for doing something that's the CITY'S responsibility. They're lucky to have people like you in the community
I loved that he was helping out. He had no reason to do that. A lovely gesture.
Very dangerous road! So kind of you to let that man help you. I bet he felt really good about it. Thank you for rewarding him! You are a good man!
That homeless man, Kevin, is a freaking LEGEND! You and he kicked arse at cleaning that path, better than the City Works--who didn't do stuff all!
It's great to see good people doing good work just for the feeling of helping out!
Thanks Al for your kindness❤
This man could be homeless now, but he is a real man, a gentleman, he was ready to work for nothing, just doing the right thing !!!
They should been fined for all that. Thats crazy and I’m thankful you hooked him up. And I hope someone see him and hires him. He deserves it!! He’s a hard worker he expected nothing just trying to help himself so he doesn’t get harassed anymore.
This man helping shows us how kind humanity can be .. helping without being asked & standing out of the way of the camera as not to block the shot this is a true gentleman , never judge a book by its cover
What a tremendous transformation!!! Good bless you for all that you did in clearing the sidewalk, and giving that gentleman a job. I pray that he does hit the powerball to get enough money to buy a house! Enjoyed watching!!
The homeless helper brought tears to my eyes, as well as the respect Al Bladez gave him. I don't know his story, but I assume he had a hard time in his life. Still, he's willing to help the community. What a lesson he taught.
You literally made that man’s day by allowing him an opportunity to feel needed. He was enjoying every moment of being there and worked his tail off to get the task done. Your kindness to him is certainly heartwarming, and every day he walks on the sidewalk now will bring him joy and happiness, knowing he made a difference! KUDOS!
This was such a "Feel Good" video on so many levels. Thank you soo much for goin' here! Awesome transformation and a powerful place inside your whole being to be a part of that change. Safe is that corner, for sure!
❤😊
AND some great conversation with you. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR NEW FRIEND & WIFE. ❤ 😊
You're helping MANY people out by clearing the sidewalk!!
That was a huge mess. I can't imagine the people who lived there not complaining to government demanding something be done. I am surprised someone wasn't killed, there was no excuse for that mess, unbelievable, apparently they have no shame. I was nervous with you working there they were driving fast. Thank you for giving the gentleman a job helping, he was a good worker just down on his luck, giving him some money, he appreciated it. Great job as always, thank you for sharing, caring.
Dude hustled and helped. I could see him helping out on the crazy jobs and having a day feeling accomplished and make a few bucks. Thanks for giving him a chance ✊
Awesome to give the man a chance to earn some money. Many unfortunate people like him are willing to work if just given the opportunity.
God bless you more. You deserve all your blessings for being so confident in what you're doing.
Al, even Biscuit knows you got a good heart. He let you pet him. Dogs have good instincts. By the way, good job both of you for taking care of the sidewalk.
This was a real community service, you helped every person that walks in that area. But mostly you helped this middle aged man feel like a worth while hard working man once more. You're a rock star for all you do to help people out . May God bless you and your family..
Best gift u can possibly gv him is talk him 2 get'g off the street like Va Ctr if he is a veteran,public hous'g/HUD.so many hous'g options out there.
not sure wtf is wrong with the city. the property owner should of been fined to the wazoo by that point.
Accepted his help - you gave him PURPOSE. Paid him for his help - you gave him PROSPERITY.
You’re the man, Al - “a cut above the rest”!
Damn this is a dope ass comment!!!
Walmart should have taken care of the property in the first place.
Good job, Al! And, helper.
Preach brother. Purpose and prosperity... I love it. He blessed that man in a small way.
I ❤ this comment.
I agree 100% Al is Amazing!!
I have to say, that guy was no slacker. He worked hard for the money and was a big help. Thank you for helping him.
I can imagine some of the drivers also being glad & thankful for you clearing the sidewalk! ♥
This is a very high traffic area and it's unbelievable that the city didn't clear this section for pedestrians. Pedestrians have the right of way. But you guys did a great job and a great service for the community 💯
Unfortunately, the cops are only looking at making $$$ instead of holding the land owner accountable - more so if it's the city.
He treated the guy respectfully and I am sure the man appreciates what he did.
I have mix feelings about you doing this project......the local government failed to do their job (for what ever reason). You just kicked the can down the road. The problem is still there.
Why wasn’t this taken care of by the City ?
What a slap in the face to this city not to maintain a sidewalk disgraceful
I’d send the city a bill for the services provided and tell them they neglected this area for so long cops where harassing people who had no choice but to walk in the streets to get around this area
That was a win-win! You interacted with him in a very respectful way. He wasn't pushy in wanting to help..just a genuine need for a cleared sidewalk! You're so sweet to bless him with work and finances.
God had a good day. To HIM be the glory.
Great transformation video. Maybe get yourself some orange caution cones, so car drivers see you working, and don’t accidentally hit you. Be careful out there. 👍😃
Yes, I wanted orange cones to caution traffic too
Good idea.
I hope you could use that hardworking man again. What a help he was to you!
I can’t believe the city allowed the sidewalk to become impassable. God bless you, Al!
Great work Guys !
Private property
The city is supposed to maintain this area. We pay for those sidewalks,with our taxes.So where is the money?
Not private property but PUBLIC property.
Thank you for treating Kevin with the respect that every loving soul deserves. You both worked hard and what a great transformation. Now Kevin and his wife and everyone else can be safe. Thank you for giving him money. People are placed in our paths to help.
And what are you doning for kevin?
@@tisketisja5528there you are! I knew there would be an idiotic comment on here somewhere.
I pray that gentleman and his wife have the best.
That edger is so euphoric!!!!!! Zip zip zip. Kevin is a very hardworking man. He accepted the money so graciously. I love how he kept mentioning his wife. So sweet. Thank you for being so kind to him and affording him his dignity.
So nice that you two collaborated together on this. So much safer for the neighborhood/pedestrians. Great job done and I know how helpful a second pair of hands.
I know you didn't really need his help, but he offered to help and you wanted him to feel useful and appreciated. You did two wonderful things, you cleaned that overgrown sidewalk and also blessed that homeless man. Thank you, Al! Love you more, dear heart!!!!
You gave that guy a lot more than some money. You gave him a sense of pride and purpose. And the sidewalk! The town or city where that is located, should be ashamed of allowing that to be going on for so long. Well done!
Hey Al, that was an amazing transformation. You are really a man with a great heart. Kevin really helped, from what I could see he REALLY wanted to help. I noticed he really enjoyed that day.
We all know when you were done, you didn't have to give him money, but he so deserved it!
Take care, Al, till the next one!
After watching many many of your vids, this one right here was the one that made me subscribe. The decency you showed that man is what the world lacks. We need more men like you, Al. Bless that man for helping you and bless you for helping him! ❤❤❤
You made the old gentleman alive again. People was seeing him as a person working. Not a homeless person. Both of you worked great together. Bless both of you for making the sidewalk safe for a lot of people. No more walking in the road. Be safe out there both of you.
That's sad when one person can do what an entire city full of officials that are supposed to be running it can't do.
And collecting your hard earned money tax dollars
Another awesome job done for the city they really should hire him put this man on there payroll 👋🤓👀😇🎚️🩵🕯️
You took the words right out of my mouth! Shame shame shame on the city! Thank you Al! And the homeless man that helped! You do such amazing work! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Gospel Truth!
Amen. Very true.
I hope someone sees this and gives that guy a job. He didn't stop bless him.
So wonderful to see. They worked together to make it safe for people to walk. Nice gentleman. Great job.
Having been in Kevin's shoes, I can say the opportunity to work and earn your way is pretty strong. You gave him a chance to keep his dignity by accepting his offer of help, and that's one of the best things you could have done for him. The guy's a really hard worker, and I hope this video is evidence of that to a prospective employer. All the best to you both.
When the city wont take action our man AL is there to save the day.
And the hat and shirt merchandise is legit awesome.
Walmart owe the sidewalk and the city can't do anything about it
@@johnhershey4010they can't fine Walmart like they would us?
Exactly
@@tjchrist4264"Rules for thee but not for me"... The p0p0 love it though. It's cheap power, but they are scavengers. Now they'll have to come up with another cheap trip to feed off of.
So very glad that you enlisted the help of the homeless man!! What a wonderful thing to do!! Did you offer him a job to help you when you are in that area? He certainly is a hard worker!!! Even if you paid him in food, it would have made a difference in his and his wife lives!!! 💕💕💕
Great Job Al. That guy was good offering to help. A lot of people will appreciate your combined efforts.
This was a wonderful video!. You and Kevin made the sidewalk safer for everyone. It was great to see Kevin jump in and your generosity and caring for he and his wife. Nicely done Al.
Well done al! Accepting his offer to help you, letting him feel useful and helping the community. I hope things get better for he and his wife.
The sidewalk looks great and it’s safer for all pedestrians who walk in that area. Great job Al and it’s awesome that Kevin was able to help.
Youre great😊
By far the BEST video I have seen in a long time. Kevin is homeless but turned up on time, true to his word he worked with you for a few hours, and DID NOT ask or expect to be paid. Thanks to you, on this day, he had his dignity restored. He was able to return to his wife that day a proud man, with the unexpected fruits of his labour. You made a difference to many peoples lives who need to use that sidewalk, but a huge difference to Kevin and his wife. Al you are amazing, and thank You.
Great job done for the public, it was nice that a guy came along and helped you!
I live in Australia and very surprised that in the USA a public authority does not clear the footpath for pedestrians. Good on you for helping out for free.
There are a lot of places without sidewalks. People either have to walk in the streets or on other people's property. I would rather them walk on my property than get ran over. I just wish that a select few that do that wouldn't throw their trash in my yard. Or lit cigarette butts on the grass. To easy for a fire to start.
Rules are strange here. That exact strip of sidewalk could be just outside city limits. In a county jurisdiction. The county may not have any requirement to maintain the sidewalks. Some give the responsibility to whoever owns the adjacent land. It can get confusing. And you can guarantee if it's not theirs they won't touch it
You would think Walmart would be a good neighbor and maintain it!
It’s Florida. It’s basically like a third world country located within the boundary of the USA.
Lots of things goes on here the outside world don't have a clue the grass isn't all that green on this side of the fence the picture is only painted that way to fool the unsuspecting bystanders
❤Great service Al. Please keep up the good work of supporting elderly homeless when there is a chance. We love you ❤
Super job! Much safer! Great having the guy help out. And great that you let him. You’re a good man,Al!
Al, I have to say, I have never seen a harder working man in my life. The pride you take in you work is the highest I have ever seen as well. Thank you for allowing that man to help you. He worked hard to keep up with you and did a damn good job. Thank you for helping him out as well I wish I wasn't living on just Social Security or I would donate to you and your work. God Bless Brother.
What a gentleman this man is. Thanks Al for letting him help and helping him out. Hopefully this opens some doors for him ❤
Ya know what? I've been watching your channel for awhile now! And I Love watching what you do for People who are in need of your Kindness and generosity 🙏, But this one today made me a subscriber just because of the way you were SO VERY KIND AND YOUR GAVE A DAMN for all people Really Really showed through. I have been homeless before and people really don't give a rats behind anymore. You gave me Hope that there are still Amazing people in this world this horrible world 🙏🙏🙏🙏 ❤❤❤ May God Bless everything you touch . Hope you are feeling better and your daughter is doing good too!! You and your wife are such a beautiful couple.
Thank you for letting me see this part of the world again....
Loved watching this transformation. I actually said a prayer for both of you. God bless.
Al, you're definitely a hardworking man and an inspiration. You treated the homeless gentleman with respect and accepted his help, to include payment. We need more people like you.
Agreed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕
I don’t understand how this got so bad.
@@philswords6390 incompetence
You're saying someone is inspiring because they're willing to talk to someone who's homeless? That's how worthless I am, that you have to be a saint to talk to me? I'm sick of this kind of comment, people saying "oh he's such a good person he even is nice to homeless people" as though we are not worth being treated nicely and if someone is nice to us, oh they must be a good person if they are nice to THEM!
There was a time when people would say, "oh, he's such a good person he's even nice to [racial word] people," but to say it now would be unacceptable. And so is saying it about us just because we don't have a place to live for a while because our job doesn't pay enough! I'm so sick of being seen as THAT WORTHLESS to everyone!!!!!!!!
This is really what I think people want to see on your channel. More videos that benefit the whole community. Love to see you tackle a small community park, if possible 😊
This guy is not only helping the peolpe who can walk in a safe place and yet also helping the homeless guy. Salute to you Al! God bless you always and have a good health.
Al, I've quite a few of your videos. Stepping up, as you have, shows what we all need to do. You really impressed me working with Kevin and the conversations ya'll had. I know it's not in your nature, but whatever city this is needs to BE EMBARRASSED because two men did their job. Both of you displayed the work ethics I grew up with but they are lost today. You have to EARN Respect and it can't be given freely. Thank you for showing what the right attitude can give in return.
Al you’re an honorable man. Paying the helper for assistance shows your true commitment to helping those around you.
How many people these days refuse to work? Too many. Here's a homeless man offering to help you do a not so easy job. This moved me in so many ways, Al. You're an outstanding man. I wish there were more like you, Sir.
lol many people refuse to work with crappy companies and terrible customers.. there fixed it for you.
It's hard for a homeless person to find a job without having a home address
@tacomamusic Exactly. People aren't really refusing to work *any* job. They're just sick and tired of getting used and destroyed for a relative pittance compared to what they make some guy sitting in a board room somewhere not sweating, getting cussed at, or spit on but saying "we" have to tighten our belts to meet a quarterly earnings target *he* set. No more paid hour lunch breaks. No more gold watches or training from the mail room to president of the company.
Now, it's layoffs and outsourcing and setting hours under 40 so you don't qualify for health insurance. Now, it's 2 people in the whole store, 8 self checkouts, and no cost savings to you, the customer. How many entry levels jobs are 0 experience? How many companies are training new people and providing a wage on which you can raise a family with one breadwinner?
A lot of people are willing to work hard. Kevin's out here doing it out of the kindness of his heart, for his community, and for himself. He's fighting. Doesn't mean he should be taken advantage of when he gets back into the workforce. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to pass on a job that doesn't pay enough for him to keep a house. That's not refusing to work. That's just survival and common sense standards. His choosing to work for no expected money shouldn't be used as a dig along with the "Nobody wants to work" catchphrase.
Kudos to that gent as well, for his assistance. And thank you, Al.
That gentleman was a go getter.
Thank you for letting him help you and paying him.
You are a terrific man.
I was very impressed with how well you worked together.
There is nothing better than a hard working man.
Amazing! It's a shame that the city lets it get to this condition. Shame on them for not maintaining a clear and safe access. So nice that the man pitched in to help. People helping people is what life is about. Well done, Al! 🎉 Sending the man and his wife good thoughts. 24:46
Especially when you see the palm tree lined side walk just across the street. Makes you wonder what the difference in neighborhoods is?
I’m guessing the Lord Almighty let it get that bad so Al could come across it and do what he does best and Kevin was in the right place at the right time as well. Be careful how you treat strangers. You may be entertaining angels unawares.
What a wonderful thing you did for Kevin. This video can help Kevin as proof that he is a hardworking man, like a resume. I hope you can have him on more video’s. Al you are such a wonderful human, the way you treated Kevin, asking thoughtful questions, you are a rare breed, and deserve the world. Good job
Also a wonderful thing Kevin did for Al, just a simple testament of what being human can accomplish, when we work together instead of against each other.
Need more people like this! Great job guys!
Excelente trabajo!! Felicitaciones
That was absolutely a pleasure to watch. The transformation was incredible. You were very thorough,& meticulous. The guy that helped you was great .On a daily basis, he experiences the obstruction of the sidewalk,& roadway. Total safety hazard for everyone. Thanks again fellas for making such a difference. Much respect,& appreciation.💯❤️👏🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
You're amazing, Al...this video was so special in many ways...helped the city and this wonderful man...I hope someone that sees this will give him a job...love and prayers to all...🥰🥰
😮 this video was awesome not only did it show others what a kind and considered person you are but to give someone a chance to have meaning in his life and his wife and giving them an opportunity to feel good about themselves but I must tell you you nearly gave me a freaking heart attack you didn't have any colored clothing like your orange jacket or something where you can easily be seen by approaching traffic no cones no nothing what the heck is wrong with you man I am so happy to see that you made it through without an incident could have been a disaster😊 just keep on being you and you'll make the world a better place❤😊🫂 I just hope more follow your example because we can all use that in the times that we're living in
RESPECT. THAT MAN WAS A HARD WORKER. This helped him and the community. Great job, Al.
The man definitely worked hard. What a shame he isn't able to find steady work for himself and his wife. Not everybody has a college degree, for pete's sake!
Hands down, this is my favorite video! Al, your kindness meter just went over the top. You gave this man much more than just money. You gave him a day of purpose purpose and you treated him with dignity. What an awesome guy this man is! And what a beautiful soul you have! 🥰😌❤️
