The reality of helping others is simple: - just do it, you will fill instantly better and don't tell anyone - a simple thank you from the Heart ❤️ will be enough - a simple smile 😃 😊 can change someone life forever - a simple let me help you with whatever you can - give money 💰, chlots, buy others food, drinks All other stuff you can think of! - give a old phone with charger or new one All those things will come 10 x times for every gesture 🙏 you make, back to you ,most of them you will not realise you got them because life is strange, ex: imagine you crossing the road and some instead of killing you with the car not paying attention, he/her will see you in the right moment and others like this, because we are humans we regret more helping others because we wrongly think 🤔 that people we helped they should some how paying back, life is not like that✌️

    I was homeless for about 5 months in Bournemouth, due to sharing rents with several people at a time in nice big houses. splitting the rent 8 to 10 ways in a 4 or 5 bedroom house was cheaper than a single flat, as bigger houses are so hard for landlords to rent out as there isn't the demand for them. As some fellow house mates moved onto universities or changed jobs and moved away, the remaining members of the houses had to find a bigger slice of the rent and it became unaffordable. I had a car, that had just had a lot of MOT work done to it, so I didn't have deposit plus one month money available, and I had to live in my car for 5 months, and the days where friends would let me stay on their sofa, or behind their sofa for a few days at a time were so appreciated. I never stayed more than a few days and kept it all clean and tidy. there were still many days where I'd need to drive up the a338 and sleep a layby in a small rover. Freezing at night and sweating hot in the mornings with the sun up early was no picnic.. and I had it lucky. It saddens me that so many buildings are left standing empty in various states of disrepair, but no access is given to homeless people. The urbex channels show so many places that could be made available and give a little relief to people in real need. Your kind spirit started this ball rolling, and the generosity of the cars under £3k guys made it that much more possible, and I believe your viewers, new and old, have a great respect for you for making this happen, and all the best to Michael in the future

    From experience, what he needs is somewhere to park up while he fits the van out. He needs tools and materials like insulation,panelling… and then he needs the correct insurance and a secure park up where he can keep the van and sleep in it undisturbed which has access to a toilet etc. Some businesses on industrial estates would welcome him as a sort of on site security. I wish Michael well and thank all involved in making this happen.

This is great Alex, beautiful mensage and gesture, amazing from the guys of cars under 3000, they sell cars for a living and yet they did this, just because, its just pure kindness of the heart, makes me believe that there still is some hope to have in this world, people like you, who do this things, thank you.
