totally agreed! this kind of marketing is better than any radio or print or website ad you could push! simply showing that "we're nice guys" is 1000x better than all of that combined. i bet those guys get a lot of business now because people know that they aren't crappy "use car salesmen" in the cliche sense of american "im going to scam you" sorts that often hurt used car lots. well done to the lads at 3000 pounds, bunch of good folks there.

So happy to see how things turned out for him. Such a humble guy. Incredible work from you and the guys at Cars under 3000.

Alex didn't give a hand out...he provided a hand UP, I love how this has helped Michael get a permanent roof over his head and life going the right way. Well done folks!

In the grand scheme of things this was a small nudge in the right way, but it turned around Michaels life and made all the difference for him. He's clearly 'reborn'. And ya'll set a very positive example too, including the companies paying it forward locally ! This is how you build sustainable communities, power to you all team 💪

Hope we get to see more of this guy. Such a genuinely lovely bloke and given that, to think about the way he was treated... just horrible. Not sure how handy Michael is on a computer (or even how interested he is) but if he ever wants some free training on anything at all, please let me know how to pass on my details. If I can't train him on it, I'll know someone who will be willing to do it FOC. I'm mostly general use, Outlook etc but a massive Excel geek. If Mike wants help designing something to manage his finances for example, I can help put something easy to use together for him to track all of those monthly out-goings he'll start having again. For example we could set something up with expenditures and dates next to them, monthly, which will show his pay, all of his out-goings, and then at any time he can go in, type how much is left in his account and it will automatically calculate which direct debits will have left his account, highlight any still to be paid, and show how much he has left for the month, per week or even per day as disposable income. Fantastic work Alex, what a great thing to make such a big difference to such a lovely guys life.

I'm so glad Micheal is back on his feet ,he seems like a top bloke ! Micheals boss seem like a proper legend too . They always say you are only a paycheck away from being homeless in some cases so it can literally happen to anyone . The guys at cars under 3000 are legends and last of all thanks to Alex for putting this all together

Considering all the sh!t going on in the world, things like this really raise your faith in people. Great work to all involved.

Such a WONDERFUL story! Can you imagine what a difference we could make in this world if we allll acted out of kindness & compassion towards one another?? We live in such excess (really, if you think about how much "extra" stuff we accumulate over time). Instead of owning a coat for every outfit, spend that money on coats for those who don't have one. Same w/ all the things we buy that only serve a superficial purpose. I'd rather spend money buying clothes for school children in need than to go buy an expensive handbag. These are tiny examples w/major impact. There'd be no homeless if we alllll gave a little more 💗💗💗

Not all us homeless people are bums. Circumstances can change at anytime. I've been homeless for 3 years but run my own graphics business. From sleeping on a cold unit floor, I managed to build a caretaker flat within the unit and look forward to success and a better future.

Never been more proud of someone Iv never met. He has changed his life so much and it’s really inspirational

Well done Alex, you are the milk of human kindness to have done what you have for Michael. Thanks also to "Cars Under £3000" for their kind contribution of the van. Alex you have restored my faith in humanity with your generosity and heartfelt kindness, wishing you all the very best that life can give you.

Alex what’s funny is you can see how genuine this experience for you was. Idk why but I can see it in your body language. You did a truly great thing, and as someone that has felt the despair and pain the Michael was in, I truly appreciate you doing this. Because you ACTUALLY saved his life. You didn’t offer him a chance for a better life, you offered him a chance to find value in life to keep Living. There so many people who lose hope and in despair take there own life because they find no way out. You truly did something amazing here.

Man Michael must be so overwhelmed with all the love and support he’s been given. Cars under 3000 are amazing, his new boss is a hero and Alex is a legend!

This is the difference between 'using your platform to help someone' and 'using helping someone for your platform'. It's so nice to see how at the heart of this content is Micheal and it's focused on what he needs first and the content second. It took me a while to figure this out as I find so many 'helping' the homeless' youtube videos feel exploitative. This wasn't that and your motivations behind it shine through. Well done :)

There is a homeless guy who is trying to get back to his feet in our area. The van may be perfect for him to give that jump start. StreetLink and other organizations are already trying to help. We are giving him odd jobs around our place to help too.

More tears in my eyes. Wow! That's a huge change in a really nice guy's life. The van, the flat, the job, the Big John. Alex and guys from Cars Under 3000 you're legends and simply the best ♥️

So nice to see how happy Michael is now. Nearly had me in tears. Alex and cars under 3000 deserve maximum respect.😍🙌

You can just tell what this little help means to him, that’s a great company doing great things for people

Bless you for giving Michael a safe place to sleep, the wine people for taking a chance and hiring him, the car people for donating not one but two vehicles to help others in need, and Michael himself for surviving his hardships but still positive enough to continue the fight to improve himself.

Alex and the car throttle guys made me appreciate $4*tboxes and old used cars rather than new cars of the year. Instead of buying a new car of the year for 30k or more from a dealership, just buy a pre own certified rusty high mileage vehicle that has been mistreated for under 10k or 5k and below and start my DIY projects my own and it’s much fun and cosmetic than owning a brand new car of the year. Good job guys. Love $4*tboxes more than everything

One email changed that man's life forever. What a story. ❤️ And so good that destiny is going to help someone else now. Guys this can be the start of something big. If I had the recourses I'd help everyone get off the streets. I've been so close myself , I spent years as a depressed, crack addict, with no purpose in life. It warms my heart to see things like this.

So glad to see him doing well makes me so happy! Get rthsn to do a camper build in the back out of wood to keep it along the lines of budget but always looks good. Keep up the amazing work guys

Impressive how quickly he has been able to sort his life out. Again an awesome video. I think we can be very happy Alex started this channel. I am sure he is.

This is how I want adrevenue to be spent. Watching the pre-rolls and in-video ads in full for this one.

So nice to see videos like this instead of people flexing how many thousands they've spent on their cars. So glad Michael landed on his feet, he seems like a cool guy. Well done all round Alex and everyone at cars under 3000 👏

As a fellow 59 Plate Mondeo Titanium X estate owner (with a mere 138k on the clock), I’d like to welcome Michael to his new car - well deserved. With a bit of regular (annual) maintenance they can be a reliable comfy daily driver, and my 2.0 diesel will easily turn in 50+ mpg on a 70 mph motorway run. I’ve “camped” in the back of mine a few times too (I’m 6’ 2” and can sleep comfortably with the rear seats folded down). Thanks for making a difference, a good lesson for us all.

Great stuff fellas, love what you've done for Michael. With all the bad things going on in the world atm it's heartwarming to see you all getting together to help him get back on his feet. All the best Michael 👍

What a developement! Been eyeing with these mondeos myself not too long ago, but couldnt find a proper one here. That car looks so nice ^^ hope Michael has plenty of good time with it!

I love Michael, such a great bloke and really chuffed for him. Well done Alex and Pete!

There it a youtuber named socks with Sandals he is a humble and nice guy, living in his van full time, his van has been having issues lately and he would benefit from a new van so much . He in my eyes deserves it. Cheers

Love how a lil push and help can completely turn a person's life around. Hate how homelessness is demonized so much in the US, constantly getting fined and jailed for just trying to survive.

I'm so happy things turned out for better for this guy. and I hope everything is better as well for you Alex, you have a good heart. cheers from Brazil

This would be an incredible series, having Destiny take unfortunate people off the streets one at a time and helping them get their life back on track, if there's one trend that should catch on, it's definitely helping each other, great work guys!

Seriously I think this is one of the best channels I've seen in so long and addressing a very chronic issue I am just so happy to have found you and a big fan and new subscriber.... You're amazing thank you so much for all that you've done

Fantastic to hear Michael is doing so well. Once again, a massive thanks to Alex, all the lads at cars under 3000, and to Pete for giving Michael a decent job, everyone involved should be so proud of what they’ve done

notification squad!🔥🔥🔥

Fantastic, all of you guy. Just wish there was more of you about. It would be great to see it turned into a day van. My wife recently got chronically Ill and we looked at a van, converting it to meet her needs, I.e. a bed to lie down, somewhere to sit make a drink on days out. Be great to see you guys do something similar

This touched home deeply.. just want to say massive thank you alex & Pete! Sometimes it isn’t the issues in life that define us as people but how we deal with them! This video just adds that little bit more hope that there is something better around the corner.

Dusty in here ain't it...

I dont reckon taking destiny and doing a full mini camper van build would make much sense. But on his off time i reckon it would be great to have Michael as an advisor towards small mods to make destiny a little more comfortable for the next person who needs a secure space. Michael did stay in it so he'd have the most valid advice.

You guys are just awesome for this. It has to feel good to be able to give back like this. You’ve legitimately changed Michael’s life for the better. You should all be proud.

That's what it's all about. We all need to take care of each other. There are so many people in the world who are in Michael's situation. Some are even worse off dealing with mental health issues and really the start for anyone to get help is having a safe place to sleep. It's amazing how the smallest gesture can help change someone's life.

So happy for Michael, he seems such a genuine guy very humble and down to earth, its people like him that deserve a break, well done Alex and well down to carsunder3000, such a thoughtful thing to do

We all have a heart but only some of us know how it should be used...Great job Alex...your a good man.

A small thing for a company and an Alex can make a huge difference for someone, and really most people should (and do) this at a smaller scale, which does restore some faith in humanity.
