Home for Hans... From an unheated camper to a home in two weeks! Part 1

Ойын-сауық

Just two weeks ago we started a go fund me to get Hans propane to heat his trailer over winter... and now he’s moving into his own house!
Today Hans start to settle into his new place that a wonderful community of people donated to. He never asked for help, but help found him anyway :)

    I know :( I could tell from the first reveal video that he really was thinking how much he could help people with the money instead. Did you think that too? I really believe he would have rather done some minimal fixes for his travel trailer and then helped people with the rest. I would not have been offended if it had gone that direction. When you give to someone it's theirs. Age has a way of creeping up on us though and although Hans looks fit and healthy, one day he will not be able to build a roof or live under the conditions he just came from. I see it as being set up for future retirement, lol. In addition, if we truly are in a grand solar minimum, he would have died in that trailer.

    I was trying hard not to cry during the video, but when he said, ' Honey, I'm home!', I almost lost it! This brings back memories of when I was 62, living in a truck with my bf, waiting for my disability case to settle. It was in November, also, about 9 yrs ago. We were in a Walmart, shopping for what we could afford for family Christmas presents, when I checked my bank balance. Social security had paid all the retroactive they owed! Enough for a small trailer, plus a new start. We got to do crazy shopping that day, running around for all the things we would need! That feeling was amazing and unreal. I know just how Hans must be feeling. Love and best wishes to you, Alex and family, and everyone who brought this dream to life. And especially to Hans, who deserves this so much for all he does for others. 💓🥰😘 Btw: my birthday is next week, 72, and I will be Thankful for knowing all of you beautiful people thru this wonderful site.❣️👏👏🤝👌

I'm an ebay seller and I held on to it for the good memories, since Darren just wore that thing like crazy. My Mom swore that it came from Aunt Toots in Marmora Ontario Canada and that we were related to the amazing late Greg Terrion of the Maple Leafs. I had finally listed it on ebay but when I saw Alex's story about Hans, I knew that I wanted him to have it. Darren agreed (and BTW so amazed at the old Cadillac story since he's car guy too!) so we mailed it off.

    Alex, you and your family remind me of the community I had growing up in the 60's. Your desire to create a community and connect with people wherever you go is very rare these days. Thank you for sharing this story and for giving people an opportunity to come together to take care of Hans. In a world where we have learned to retreat and disconnect from each other, My wish is for everyone watching this video to continue to give, continue to care, continue to create human bonds and become part of a community that looks after each other. Many blessings to you and your family!

I am not talking about taking me to a fancy expensive restaurant either, it could just have been a simple lunch meat sandwich or some spaghetti or even some leftovers. I only asked for the food because of being diabetic and not wanting to suffer from the effects of low blood sugars. I am in south central PA here.

    I remember Alex in a video a while back talking about living in tough circumstances when he was young, and I imagine this is what made him sensitive to Hans' situation, in a time when people are starting to lose the knack of noticing each other, or offering help and service. So many thanks to Alex for seeing this need, and not only organizing the efforts for doing something meaningful about it, but giving so much of his own time and resources as well. And you could tell by the look on Hans' face and the swell of pride that all the mentions of his Viking heritage brought out in him, as he was trying to process all this abundance coming his way after so long a dry spell, was really on point, and the perfect way to build him up, as if he went from feeling like who knows what, to feeling like a proper Viking of old. Hans buddy, you deserve it! And Alex, you really are a good guy, aren't you? Superb story, much needed these days!
