Here we go Helping Barbara.. part 2 out now! ruclips.net/video/PLW7PwPJAOI/видео.htmlsi=96njKvUDdTCJFwVm Let me know what you think below! Join us on one of the biggest challenges so far. So many companies donated their time and expertise, check them out in the description.
Hi Ben I've been waiting for this series since you announced it months ago, great start to the series. FYI the is an charitable organisation called Depher uk (I think they are based in stockport) they may be able to help with the flat roof issue. Keep up the good work, you bring light to so many 👍
What a gianormous undertaking Ben. Thank you everyone for what you have done for Barbara.🙏 I can see the relief in her face already. Can't imagine what It's been like for her to have these worries "literally" hanging over her head.
OMG Normans was a walk in the park, so relieved Barbara is getting this mega job done. My heart just broke when she was telling she couldn’t go into that room because of the leaks. I can’t wait for part 2, Ben the people who are helping are true heroes like you and your Dad.
Can someone please nominate Ben for a Pride of Britain Award. He is an absolute gem! Ben along with his Dad and Ben’s newphew (?) need some recognition - what a legend.
To all that have donated their time, thank you! The world needs more folks like you! We see a days work in 30 minutes, yet you all still smile. Ben you say I’m just a pressure washer, no sir, you are so much more ❤
The tree experts’ work will protect Barbara’s home for years to come. Improved air flow across the roof and in the garden will make such a (positive) difference. Thank you for an epic video, Ben. 😊
Look forward to part two when you have Barbara water tight will you be taking the tree stumps out and levelling the round out as I see it’s on a bit of a slope be nice top job that if you able to sort it mate
That place is falling down and is downright dangerous and nasty. she should be placed in a senior center type of nice home. Not live in what is essentially a hole in the ground.
All that helped Barb get her home back, deserves to be recognized for an exceptionally difficult job!. These men are gifted in the field and deserve nothing less ❤❤❤ well done you lot
A very, very, big thank you to all of the people and companies who donated their time, equipment, skills etc. to helping out the lovely Barbara. God bless you all.
I don't know if you young ppl know just how much of a blessing this is for Barb ,when you get old and can no longer do for yourself and don't want to burden others or ask for help,the feeling of being totally useless is overwhelming and then th the depression sets in,to whee you just don't care anymore, for barb to be able to go into her yard again il make her feel better I'm sure,God bless each and everyone one of you❤😂
I'm elderly and couldn't ever live in those conditions, wish someone would have gotten her OUT , long ago, thanks Ben and crew for all the HARD WORK ,YOU ARE AMAZING
She should have contacted social services, they would have helped giving her information and pointed her inn the right direction before it led to this. I personally think if at all possible , a council flat would be so much easier for Barbara. No repairs to think about or maintain, only decorating to do. I dread to think what the total cost will be, how wet the walls are. Every part of the building looks like it needs replaced.. Think trying to sell and find a small flat / house with a small garden she can maintain herself will be so much better for her as I feel even the garden will be too much for her :(
That was insane! A hundred men cleaning up the lot. Even healthy professional young men were struggling with the trees, vegetation ang garbage. She reeeeeeeaaally needed your help. There is no way she could have gotten all this sorted out on her own. Nature had swallowed her house already. Amazing job everyone! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Can't wait for the next episode.
@@FlawlessCleaningServices now that would be epic. A community based team of community volunteers helping the needy (the elderly) up and down the country.
Bless you for treating Barbara with such respect and kindness. Most people don’t understand how difficult this would be for her. She’s lucky that you found her.
Thank you for helping Barbara!!! It's a thousand wonders that she hasn't fallen ill from the cold. I have no idea how she keeps warm. Y'all are truly a blessing.
There's a special place in Heaven for people like you, Ben. All of you. God bless you and the work you do. People like Barbara and Norman would be lost without your kindness. Truly, we need more people like you guys in this world.
Barbara’s bungalow will be filled with so much more light. That will be sure to lift her spirits. Safety will make a big difference, too. Thanks to all who participated.
Although 3 months late to comment, what I like about this cleanup is the women is out there helping to clean it up. I bet she feels good about helping and participating in recovering her life. This goes a long way to maintaining it in the future.
Hi Ben, well I've just watched episode 1, and goodness knows what a difference already. How Barbara has been living like that is completely astonishing, my god this job is bigger than Norman and shelia put together 😮. Take care of yourself and dad, no accidents please 🙏
Why would you allow it to get so bad?what is the story? Doesn’t she have family , government agencies that look after seniors? This is just not how person should leave .
I'm over the moon just watching this. I'm a Personal Support Worker here in Canada, a nurse's aide for Seniors and what you did for Sheila is far and beyond anyone could do! God literally bless you all for what you did for her! Senior's are a forgotten generation and it makes me so angry! God willing, we're all going to be one , one day! ❤
if we can save people like Norman, we can definitely save Barabar. I'm sure theres someone out there to donate roofing and roofing materials... a lot goes to waste here as it is.
I'm speechless !!! Aww Barbara, you shouldn't have had to live like this my love 😘 I could just hug you xxx Thank you to each and every one of you for helping to recue her home, you are all knights in shining armour, you should be so proud of yourselves, not all Hero's wear capes 👏👏👏
😢I'm shocked! I've never seen or heard anyone living in a place like that. She's not homeless, but rather the owner of a beautiful house. Ben, you, your father and your team did a great job. Congratulations!!
She's an elderly lady who probably can't afford to get help. I haven't seen the entire video yet but worry how she can afford to repair the damages to her home.😢
Big THANKS to treeXpert, Revival Exteriors, EPT Eptech, Valet by JDJ. Very professional in their work, and generous with their time. And as always, thanks Kress Equipment and most of all Flawless Cleaning Services. ❤🖤
Once again, nothing I can add! Amazing job! I’m almost 70 now, and I look at things around the house and yard that need to be done, but I just can’t do it myself anymore. You’re a blessing to this woman!
That is incredible Poor Barbara. Thank you SO MUCH for taking on this enormous challenge. You and your Dad are modern-day angels and the team with you are terrific. Lookong forward to next week. 😊
@@debbieallen2564 On thr bar below the video there is a thanks $ icon. Just tap. You may need to set up your payment method directly on your RUclips account
I watched all three episodes. I was amazed at the generosity, love and concern that you'll showed for Barbara. This was a humongous tast to undertake. I thank God for people like you and may your blessing be many. 🙏👍👍👍
What I like so much about you guys it’s that you just get on with how you can best help people not keep showing the same bit of footage over and over again,looking forward to part two ,thank you for helping her ❤
We're watching as an epic undertaking unfolds. All of the people donating their time and area of skill is unbelievably heartwarming. It really does take a village, doesn't it? So very happy that so many have come together to help get Miss Barbara safe and secure in her home. Beautiful!! Can not wait to see the progress each week! Be safe, all 🎉
A big shout out to you and your dad for taking on this big project and helping Barbara. I would also like to acknowledge all the people who were involved in removing all those trees. That was a big job and makes it look a 1000 times better. Can't wait for part 2.
It's not much but I hope it helps a little. So grateful to you all for being able to help folks out like this, poor Barbara, bless her. A fantastic job you've all done so far, well done and thank you so much for all your generosity :)
We don't realize how lucky we are until we see someone else worse off and in dire circumstances. What an organized work crew to do the work, they made everything look effortless. BRAVO!
UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Such a massive job and a huge undertaking to organize all that. Can't Manchester help too?! She's a citizen of them and she's in need! The "tree experts" rocked! How quickly and professional they removed those trees, as well as you and your dad and and all the others who donated their time! God bless you all! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Looking at the houses around Barbara’s it was clearly a lovely home at one stage. Why it’s taken what is probably decades before someone as kind as Ben and his team to intervene is mind boggling!
I have been waiting six+ months for this. Checking every week. You did not disappoint. One could get overwhelmed. Take heart. You and the team are doing a good work. One day at a time.
Lads , this is awesome to watch. They don’t make many people Like you guys anymore . Fair play to all involved for giving this lady her garden and freedom back.
To have accomplished so much in only one day is wonderful! Having flipped homes myself, I understand how problems can appear after the initial layer is cleared. Since you've completed the project after this initial posting, I'm confident you've gotten it all sorted!! A heartfelt Thank you to all that have donated either time or monies. May you all be blessed 10fold.
Thank you TreeXpert, Revival Exteriors, EP-Tech and Valet by JDJ for your help and making this content what it is. It's nice to see companies helping out those who need it and I hope you get even more business for this!
That poor woman. Bless her heart. I know it's her home but she's really not safe in there. Thank you all for caring and giving your time and talents. I'm speechless.
This is a monumental job. I’m happy to see several agencies volunteer to help this unfortunate lady. You guys did a fantastic job. You deserve a golden globe award.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I spent so much of my time viewing this one slack-jawed, kept muttering ‘oh my gosh, how did it get this way’ so much the family came in to see what I was watching. We are truly awed by the concern you have for others and your ability to rally so many helpers to the cause. Wishing you health, safety and blessings from The Mitten (Michigan) USA
What an amazing first day! Watching professional tree guys is fascinating; that guy is a beast! You all are a blessing for Barbara. I've seen a lot of judgmental comments on here about the state of her house and all I have to say to that is I hope none of you ever find yourselves in this situation. As you get older, it gets harder and harder to keep up on things and it snowballs quickly. If you don't have anyone to help and don't have the funds to hire the right people to take care of things, you can end up with a tree on your house and ivy eating through the roof. Hats off to Ben, Paul, and the others for helping Barbara! 🤠❤
It's easier said than done. She won't get a lot of money and, where she is, she has no payment for housing. If she moves, the money she makes will need to be spent on rent and may not last very long. In addition, she'll be away from her old neighborhood where she's lived for so many years. Where she is, she has it all worked out forgetting her groceries and medications, getting transportation to doctor appointments, etc. She'll have to start all over. It's simply not as easy as it sounds.
It’s incredible what all the lads have done, they have come together to help this lady. There are very very few people who would give their precious time to do a job like this. You are all to be congratulated on this epic job👍
Those tree trimmers blow my mind. I could never climb those trees like it was no big deal. God bless all of you who are giving Barbara much needed help. ❤
Barbara clearly wants to end her days here, and I presume she owns the house and land so I guess it will eventually be sold and redeveloped as soon as she has passed…
@@chasetongafortunately in the U.K. it’s the land itself that carries the value as opposed to the house, so this worth several hundred thousand to Barbara regardless of the condition of the actual house itself…
I had a great aunt who lived in a similar bungalow, sadly she had for years suffered from mental health issues including alcoholism and hoarding. She eventually had a stroke and was admitted to hospital were she died. The bungalow was sold bought by a developer and sold. Really sad but it's not always down to a lack of money but sometimes due to other issues and the rnture thing then becomes unimaginable.
Our local councils in the uk look after the housing they own and it has to be up to a certain standard. But for privately owned properties you must maintain them yourself, which sadly, Barbara hasn’t done for whatever reason. If she asked for help she could get rehoused but with the state her property is in they would probably move her and sell her place for redevelopment. The onus is on the owner to ask for help if they can’t maintain their property. Is it fair? Well most people are able to maintain their homes or have family to help. Also older folk often don’t have the advice about upkeep etc. Sadly there are plenty of older people in the same situation, they get too old to be bothered with upkeep and maintenance and need help. ❤
What generous kind people you are. I am sorry this is not more,i am disabled myself, and completely understand how things like this can just get out of hand. When you have nobody to turn to for help, or no funds to bring experts in, you become overwhelmed. Its not like tge old days of community, and neighbours helping out the elderly, and this poor lady needs some kind of intervention from social services/council to continue to keep this problem under control. I cant even think of the damp/leaks and the cold/drafts she has to endure. Maybe the local churches could offer some regular help and visits? Anyway loves, may you be blessed forever with what you do. Xxx
Thank you to all the professionals who donated their time and expertise Valet by JDJ, Revival Exteriors, TreeXpert, EPT. Kress for the powertools and Flawless Cleaning . Can't wait for the next video.
Thank you and your crew for helping Barbara live in her house safely. ❤ People forget about the elderly who can be pretty much isolated in diar need of home repair. What you and your crew have done is "Amazing" ❤❤❤❤❤
This job is epic! That poor woman. It's like nature is trying to reclaim her home while she's still living in it. My heart goes out to her! Thank goodness Ben that you've stepped up to help Barbara. Only you and this wonderful Flawless Blessings community you've created could bring together all these people and resources to help Barbara get her home back! I tip my hat to you all ❤👍
@@cathyridley3005 Jesus, don't you ever let up with your miserly attitude and hateful negativity? You need to raise your vibration and see the light or you may just find yourself in need of help yourself and people will just turn their backs on you. I think you have some serious life lessons to learn
Guys! I'm down the road in Liverpool and if any of my manc friends need something done I will show them the people who contributed to this video! I'm crying watching this - she must be so desperate bless her! Thanks guys! fecking Angels x
This is the worst case of neglect I've seen on RUclips. So sad, but at the same time, I am glad that Barbara is getting this extremely hard work done for her. Thank you all for your kindness and love 🙏💗🙏
Older people don't mean to neglect things...neighbours nowadays aren't like they were decades ago. No one cares when you get old and are unable to get jobs done. Someone recently asked me why I buy tools if I'm having tradesmen do jobs. The answer is that I try myself because I can't afford ridiculous prices...we then bury our head in the sand. Barbara shows her willingness to do work in the video....and having others work along side you motivates you..even though your limited to what you can do.
I can not believe that anyone thought laying the tree branches on the roof was acceptable. Total cowboy. Saying that, kudos to the guys doing this now with a work ethic and standards. Total professionals .
I think the guy that lay the trees 🌲 down on the roof was wrong and was conning her in thinking it’s the right thing to do. Absolutely crap 💩. And she seems like it was the right option ?? Strange. Love to hear from the neighbours. Well done tree expert and flawless cleaning
My guess would be they are the type of people who target vulnerable people with services like that (and probably intended to come back and sell her more services)
When I first saw Barbara’s house I wondered how on earth you and your dad were going to manage to clean it all up. How wonderful that you reached out to the Manchester community and everyone rallied around. I’m watching from Australia 🇦🇺 but British born and you guys make me so proud of what you do ❤🎉
Hello from Canada! Great video. Glad that there are folks like you who are compassionate and sensitive to others who are obviously overwhelmed with their circumstances. Bless you all! You put your money where your hearts are.
I adore that you help the elderly. Being on a pension is tough, when unexpected cost’s arise it can be very difficult to fit them into a budget. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Bravo to you & everyone associated with you.
This started decades ago ,way before she would have got a pension. The house hasn't been looked after for a very long time. It needs demolishing at this point. It's extremely unsafe.
Not only have you give up your time and money, you also traveled somewhere far away from home and sacrificed your personal time for a stranger. You are a blessed pair as are all the other volunteers 🙏
Amazing to see such a swarm of blokes helping Barbara....well done guys! She will definitely notice how light her house will be now. I can't wait to see the full transformation! You all deserve a medal for your kindness and respect. She was obviously enjoying your company and wanted to be part of the action too.
Do people just not help their elderly neighbors anymore? Man when I was a kid I was going around mowing lawns for them, keeping their bushes trimmed, cleaning gutters, repairing damage "well what I could" because I am scared of heights. Neighbors should be ashamed of letting a neighbors house get this bad. Poor lady really needed help and I thank you for helping her. She obviously and desperately needed this.
Going to be honest, this is not the fault of people not helping their neighbours today, this is the fault of people not helping their neighbour 30 years ago. That mess didn't pop up in a couple of months... I reckon that house would've been looking decrepit since the mid-90's, which makes me ask why wasn't it maintained all those years ago...
Nice work Ben and all your generous team of willing volunteers , I am a retired Englishman, 80 yrs old living in Melbourne. I’ve sent a little something to help with Barb’s house transformation. I can see it is a mammoth job. Thanks for the pleasure it gives me to watch your videos
A solid group of fit men, I know i wouldn't manage my property without the men in my life, I cant keep up with them their physical prowess is astounding. They love my food which is my contribution and cuppas 😊

Let’s go well done not all hero’s where capes
Amazing amazing job. What a change after only a day. ❤️❤️❤️

Honestly Sandra, It might sound dramatic but it was an emotional rollercoaster. So glad we had such great help around us, thanks for being apart of it
Hear, hear!!
Yes, absolutely!
What a great crew you had. I just wanted to cry when I saw that yard and house. I know in the end it's going to be wonderful. Hang in there.
That type of comment is so very wrong. Time for you to move along.
Can someone please nominate Ben for a Pride of Britain Award. He is an absolute gem! Ben along with his Dad and Ben’s newphew (?) need some recognition - what a legend.
I JUST HAVE ...................
Ben and Dad should be on the Honours List an OBE at least, I'd prefer a KBE.
Now it looks like a nice garden instead of a jungle!
Team work make's the dream work
He is amazing to help her so much! Her neighbors should have come to her side!
To all that have donated their time, thank you! The world needs more folks like you! We see a days work in 30 minutes, yet you all still smile. Ben you say I’m just a pressure washer, no sir, you are so much more ❤
Fantastic work by everyone! The tree surgeon was awesome!!
The Tree Expert guys. That's some top-class Pros. Amazing to watch them work. 👍
The tree experts’ work will protect Barbara’s home for years to come. Improved air flow across the roof and in the garden will make such a (positive) difference. Thank you for an epic video, Ben. 😊
I loved how they checked around the property and suggested more than we originally mentioned all for Barbaras safety, great chaps they are!
Look forward to part two when you have Barbara water tight will you be taking the tree stumps out and levelling the round out as I see it’s on a bit of a slope be nice top job that if you able to sort it mate
Inside probably shambles and falling apart
That place is falling down and is downright dangerous and nasty. she should be placed in a senior center type of nice home. Not live in what is essentially a hole in the ground.
Thank you so much to all the people who have so graciously donated their time and skill to help. God Bless you all. ❤
So grateful! TreeXpert were amazing and took what looked like a nightmare to nothing in just 3 hours! Thank you for watching
So grateful you all did this for Barbara. I’m in the US but appreciate your hard work.
A joy to see such positive love of a fellow being in action. Greetings from Australia.
Can you believe how some people take advantage of older folks🤨🤨
The tree experts are AMAZING ❤❤
All that helped Barb get her home back, deserves to be recognized for an exceptionally difficult job!. These men are gifted in the field and deserve nothing less ❤❤❤ well done you lot
GOD BLESS each and everyone of you who has helped on this project. All of you have gone above and beyond. Thank you for everything you do!😊❤
Thank you so much Sharon! Don't underestimate your part as a subscriber and viewer.. you are apart of this.

@@FlawlessCleaningServices The sad thing is that those closed off spaced would invade the rest of the house until she would have to move out.
Why would you allow it to get so bad?what is the story? Doesn’t she have family , government agencies that look after seniors? This is just not how person should leave .
@@louisebb4183 Maybe she doesn't have family, and you can't depend on the government for anything these days.

So what happened to the second half of Barbara's house I'd like to see what it looks like after it was done!
She's an elderly lady who probably can't afford to get help. I haven't seen the entire video yet but worry how she can afford to repair the damages to her home.😢
When your older and maybe your health keeps you limited, yard work gets behind fast and then becomes overwhelming! Thank you so much!
What absolute heroes you all are. I live alone and I know how hard it can be as you get older. Thanks for helping Barbara
Congratulations for all the magnificent people who have donated his work time for this mission. You make the world a better place, you really do.
Restoring my faith in humanity, one video at a time. You people are heroes to me. Thank you everyone 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

What an amazing act of pure altruism to give an elderly woman back some quality of life. Wonderful!

We're watching as an epic undertaking unfolds. All of the people donating their time and area of skill is unbelievably heartwarming. It really does take a village, doesn't it? So very happy that so many have come together to help get Miss Barbara safe and secure in her home. Beautiful!! Can not wait to see the progress each week! Be safe, all 🎉
Yes. Now these good people have done so much hard work, it will be easy when the developers move in 👌
A big shout out to you and your dad for taking on this big project and helping Barbara. I would also like to acknowledge all the people who were involved in removing all those trees. That was a big job and makes it look a 1000 times better. Can't wait for part 2.
It's not much but I hope it helps a little. So grateful to you all for being able to help folks out like this, poor Barbara, bless her. A fantastic job you've all done so far, well done and thank you so much for all your generosity :)
Thank you so much it means so much
We don't realize how lucky we are until we see someone else worse off and in dire circumstances. What an organized work crew to do the work, they made everything look effortless. BRAVO!
UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Such a massive job and a huge undertaking to organize all that. Can't Manchester help too?! She's a citizen of them and she's in need! The "tree experts" rocked! How quickly and professional they removed those trees, as well as you and your dad and and all the others who donated their time! God bless you all!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Looking at the houses around Barbara’s it was clearly a lovely home at one stage. Why it’s taken what is probably decades before someone as kind as Ben and his team to intervene is mind boggling!
Amazing first day. Feel sorry for Barbara having to live like that. You are doing an amazing job for her. ❤
It's just not on is it, It's overwhelming to see it from the outside let alone live there, It's only the start. thanks for watching
I have been waiting six+ months for this. Checking every week. You did not disappoint. One could get overwhelmed. Take heart. You and the team are doing a good work. One day at a time.
Lads , this is awesome to watch. They don’t make many people
Like you guys anymore . Fair play to all involved for giving this lady her garden and freedom back.
To have accomplished so much in only one day is wonderful! Having flipped homes myself, I understand how problems can appear after the initial layer is cleared. Since you've completed the project after this initial posting, I'm confident you've gotten it all sorted!! A heartfelt Thank you to all that have donated either time or monies. May you all be blessed 10fold.
Thank you TreeXpert, Revival Exteriors, EP-Tech and Valet by JDJ for your help and making this content what it is. It's nice to see companies helping out those who need it and I hope you get even more business for this!
Couldn’t have done it without them all
ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT THANKING EVERYONE!!
Legends
That poor woman. Bless her heart. I know it's her home but she's really not safe in there. Thank you all for caring and giving your time and talents. I'm speechless.
You can just see that house take a big deep breath when it was freed from the trees. 🌳 ❤
This is a monumental job. I’m happy to see several agencies volunteer to help this unfortunate lady. You guys did a fantastic job. You deserve a golden globe award.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
I love that she's helping go through things to get rid unnecessary belongings outside. Thank you Barbara for helping an investing in the process
I spent so much of my time viewing this one slack-jawed, kept muttering ‘oh my gosh, how did it get this way’ so much the family came in to see what I was watching. We are truly awed by the concern you have for others and your ability to rally so many helpers to the cause. Wishing you health, safety and blessings from The Mitten (Michigan) USA
God bless America
It happens this way when children move away, or they're aren't any, or the kids don't care how their mom lives.
What an amazing first day! Watching professional tree guys is fascinating; that guy is a beast! You all are a blessing for Barbara. I've seen a lot of judgmental comments on here about the state of her house and all I have to say to that is I hope none of you ever find yourselves in this situation. As you get older, it gets harder and harder to keep up on things and it snowballs quickly. If you don't have anyone to help and don't have the funds to hire the right people to take care of things, you can end up with a tree on your house and ivy eating through the roof. Hats off to Ben, Paul, and the others for helping Barbara! 🤠❤
Sell off and move to a flat. Why keep it falling apart till u die
@@shelleyharris4176 you might understand one day
It's easier said than done. She won't get a lot of money and, where she is, she has no payment for housing. If she moves, the money she makes will need to be spent on rent and may not last very long. In addition, she'll be away from her old neighborhood where she's lived for so many years. Where she is, she has it all worked out forgetting her groceries and medications, getting transportation to doctor appointments, etc. She'll have to start all over. It's simply not as easy as it sounds.
It’s incredible what all the lads have done, they have come together to help this lady. There are very very few people who would give their precious time to do a job like this. You are all to be congratulated on this epic job👍
Those tree trimmers blow my mind. I could never climb those trees like it was no big deal. God bless all of you who are giving Barbara much needed help. ❤
They were incredible
May God richly bless you, your family, and all the people helping you bless Barbara!
✌️💖🙏🕊️🤜
As always thank you fort watching!
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a house in such poor shape that was still inhabited…thank God she’s getting this help. What a blessing.
If this were the US, it would be condemned and she would have to move.
I bet the people that drive by have no idea it’s not abandoned!
Barbara clearly wants to end her days here, and I presume she owns the house and land so I guess it will eventually be sold and redeveloped as soon as she has passed…
@@chasetongafortunately in the U.K. it’s the land itself that carries the value as opposed to the house, so this worth several hundred thousand to Barbara regardless of the condition of the actual house itself…
I had a great aunt who lived in a similar bungalow, sadly she had for years suffered from mental health issues including alcoholism and hoarding.
She eventually had a stroke and was admitted to hospital were she died.
The bungalow was sold bought by a developer and sold.
Really sad but it's not always down to a lack of money but sometimes due to other issues and the rnture thing then becomes unimaginable.
Unbealivable this lady is living in the UK like this, this is going to be epic
It's shocking Linda, we really should look out for our neighbours.. so glad Chris reached out to me
Wow!!! Thanks for helping this lady out!! Blessings to all!!
I don't understand how the CITY ,could just ignore these conditions and not send city workers , volunteers had to step up , somebody needs to and this
Our local councils in the uk look after the housing they own and it has to be up to a certain standard. But for privately owned properties you must maintain them yourself, which sadly, Barbara hasn’t done for whatever reason. If she asked for help she could get rehoused but with the state her property is in they would probably move her and sell her place for redevelopment. The onus is on the owner to ask for help if they can’t maintain their property. Is it fair? Well most people are able to maintain their homes or have family to help. Also older folk often don’t have the advice about upkeep etc. Sadly there are plenty of older people in the same situation, they get too old to be bothered with upkeep and maintenance and need help. ❤
This yard/garden/home must been a mess at least the last 20 years.. 🫣
What a amazing transformation already in part 1 ❤ 🪚🌳🌲🏡
What generous kind people you are. I am sorry this is not more,i am disabled myself, and completely understand how things like this can just get out of hand. When you have nobody to turn to for help, or no funds to bring experts in, you become overwhelmed. Its not like tge old days of community, and neighbours helping out the elderly, and this poor lady needs some kind of intervention from social services/council to continue to keep this problem under control. I cant even think of the damp/leaks and the cold/drafts she has to endure.
Maybe the local churches could offer some regular help and visits?
Anyway loves, may you be blessed forever with what you do. Xxx
Thank you so much it means so much
Thank you to all the professionals who donated their time and expertise Valet by JDJ, Revival Exteriors, TreeXpert, EPT. Kress for the powertools and Flawless Cleaning . Can't wait for the next video.
Thank you and your crew for helping Barbara live in her house safely. ❤ People forget about the elderly who can be pretty much isolated in diar need of home repair. What you and your crew have done is "Amazing" ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you all for doing this for the lovely Barbara. You all are a blessing to the community.
Many hands make light work 👏👏👏👏
100% noticed the difference, although next time I would like a videographer as I was just running round trying to capture it all
@@FlawlessCleaningServicesFantastic job in filming, too! Looked like a professional job
@@FlawlessCleaningServices , you did a great job with the camera. Thank you for sharing.
@@FlawlessCleaningServices you did an absolutely fantastic job of filming!
This job is epic! That poor woman. It's like nature is trying to reclaim her home while she's still living in it. My heart goes out to her! Thank goodness Ben that you've stepped up to help Barbara. Only you and this wonderful Flawless Blessings community you've created could bring together all these people and resources to help Barbara get her home back! I tip my hat to you all ❤👍
Huge Shout out to the amazingly wonderful people who came to this dear women's rescue. Bless you all. You have given this woman a new lease on life.
No one should live like this. Hopefully she can move into a decent, clean, safe place. Bless you for helping her
This deserves to make the local news, for sure.. Epic!
@@cathyridley3005 Jesus, don't you ever let up with your miserly attitude and hateful negativity?
You need to raise your vibration and see the light or you may just find yourself in need of help yourself and people will just turn their backs on you. I think you have some serious life lessons to learn
My points are missed by you completely. Feel better now?
Guys! I'm down the road in Liverpool and if any of my manc friends need something done I will show them the people who contributed to this video! I'm crying watching this - she must be so desperate bless her! Thanks guys! fecking Angels x
YES!! Wonderful to bless the boys that came out from there! Excellent idea! 💛🖤💛
You guys are amazing. To think she's living in a house like this, and you are all helping her brings faith in the human race.
Keep it going
This is the worst case of neglect I've seen on RUclips. So sad, but at the same time, I am glad that Barbara is getting this extremely hard work done for her. Thank you all for your kindness and love 🙏💗🙏
Older people don't mean to neglect things...neighbours nowadays aren't like they were decades ago. No one cares when you get old and are unable to get jobs done. Someone recently asked me why I buy tools if I'm having tradesmen do jobs. The answer is that I try myself because I can't afford ridiculous prices...we then bury our head in the sand. Barbara shows her willingness to do work in the video....and having others work along side you motivates you..even though your limited to what you can do.
That poor lady. Unreal. What a tremendous mess this was. And I absolutely love the way you treated her.
I can not believe that anyone thought laying the tree branches on the roof was acceptable. Total cowboy.
Saying that, kudos to the guys doing this now with a work ethic and standards. Total professionals .
That's what I can't understand. In fact it seems to me that doing that contributed to her roof damage and whoever did it should be liable for costs.
I think the guy that lay the trees 🌲 down on the roof was wrong and was conning her in thinking it’s the right thing to do. Absolutely crap 💩. And she seems like it was the right option ?? Strange. Love to hear from the neighbours. Well done tree expert and flawless cleaning
My guess would be they are the type of people who target vulnerable people with services like that (and probably intended to come back and sell her more services)
When I first saw Barbara’s house I wondered how on earth you and your dad were going to manage to clean it all up.
How wonderful that you reached out to the Manchester community and everyone rallied around.
I’m watching from Australia 🇦🇺 but British born and you guys make me so proud of what you do ❤🎉
You not only helped her. You saved her life. God bless you all for such kindness. A big hug from Brazil. 🙏🙏💙💙
The Timber Wolf truly does an amazing job! I have a video working with that as well! 😀
Hello from Canada! Great video. Glad that there are folks like you who are compassionate and sensitive to others who are obviously overwhelmed with their circumstances. Bless you all! You put your money where your hearts are.
Thank you so much!
Oh my word!!!!! That is a major job to fix this place up. Thank you for helping Barbara!
Sunlight in her windows for the first time in years. How did the place ever get to that state. Thank you all so much for caring. =-)
I adore that you help the elderly. Being on a pension is tough, when unexpected cost’s arise it can be very difficult to fit them into a budget. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Bravo to you & everyone associated with you.
This started decades ago ,way before she would have got a pension. The house hasn't been looked after for a very long time. It needs demolishing at this point. It's extremely unsafe.
@@cathyridley3005 I bet you suck the life and soul out of any party...Phwwww
God Bless you all for helping this lady .
You are all stars and your mothers and fathers have raised good and decent people ❤
Los señores que cortaron los árboles mostraron un gran profesionalismo🎉
Not only have you give up your time and money, you also traveled somewhere far away from home and sacrificed your personal time for a stranger. You are a blessed pair as are all the other volunteers 🙏
Amazing to see such a swarm of blokes helping Barbara....well done guys! She will definitely notice how light her house will be now. I can't wait to see the full transformation! You all deserve a medal for your kindness and respect. She was obviously enjoying your company and wanted to be part of the action too.
I don’t know how much longer Barbara can stay in her bungalow, but you’ve just made her time there so much more comfortable. Can’t wait for 2nd part!
Ben, watching your videos of Barbara, Norman etc. restore my faith in humanity. LOVE what you are doing along with your dad and your whole team!❤️
Do people just not help their elderly neighbors anymore? Man when I was a kid I was going around mowing lawns for them, keeping their bushes trimmed, cleaning gutters, repairing damage "well what I could" because I am scared of heights. Neighbors should be ashamed of letting a neighbors house get this bad. Poor lady really needed help and I thank you for helping her. She obviously and desperately needed this.
And the council wouldn't help either - that is disgraceful!!
Yes, the World would be a much better place if we all did what Jesus said - love your neighbour as yourself.
She may not have let the neighbors help and this is a job beyond most people's capabilities.
❤❤❤❤❤
Going to be honest, this is not the fault of people not helping their neighbours today, this is the fault of people not helping their neighbour 30 years ago. That mess didn't pop up in a couple of months... I reckon that house would've been looking decrepit since the mid-90's, which makes me ask why wasn't it maintained all those years ago...
Nice work Ben and all your generous team of willing volunteers , I am a retired Englishman, 80 yrs old living in Melbourne. I’ve sent a little something to help with Barb’s house transformation. I can see it is a mammoth job. Thanks for the pleasure it gives me to watch your videos
That's nice of you
That's Wonderful!! ❤😊
What people can do when they band together…..amazing, wonderful,
A solid group of fit men, I know i wouldn't manage my property without the men in my life, I cant keep up with them their physical prowess is astounding. They love my food which is my contribution and cuppas 😊
WOW LADS HATS OFF
The dear old lady was completely out of her comfort zone Bless her and all of you xxxxx
💕🕊️💕👍👍👍👍👍
God bless every one of you guys for helping clean this lady's yard. I knew it would take an army to tame this yard.
Thanks, yes all the help was much needed
Those tree surgeons weren't messing around. Solid effort
Thank you from Ozzy and myself
