CROSSIN OFF AN 88-YEAR-OLD GRANDMA'S BUCKET LIST!!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Ellie is an 88 year old superwoman. She started skiing when she was 33 years old and at the age of 82 had to give it up because of too many injuries. Ever since, her dream has been to get back on the slopes one last time. Luckily, our friends at Wish of a Lifetime heard Ellie's story and decided they'd help her achieve that goal. We were so lucky to have taken part in this adventure and want to thank our friends at Wish of a Lifetime a million times for inviting us along on this journey.

If you have a grandparent that has a wish they'd wanna fulfill, let us know in the comments below! We may just do something like this again :)
Faith in humanity restored
You guys are so sweet
I love u guys
My grandma is about to retire and her DREAM is to travel around Europe. She grew up the eldest of her siblings and ended acting as a mother to her siblings. She is such a loving woman and truly has an attitude of “who cares?!” Which actually reminds me of you guys. She does what makes her happy and what will benefit her family. She has pretty much raised me and I could actually die happy if I could tell her that we can take her to Europe. You guys are amazing. Much love. ❤️
This was a great video :)
My grandfather who is in his 80’s used to love to go sailing but his eyes went bad and now all he does is sleep and home. Everyday he asks to go sailing but he isn’t able to. If you guys are able to help him go sailing or be on a boat again, it would make his lifetime.

"I used my body all up. I did everything I wanted to do. Now I'm paying for it but I was happy doing it all."
ellie was doing "yolo" before "yolo" was a thing
That's made me crying 🥺
I know
matt is so cute when he cries
descriqtion Nah he's just cute by existing.
Timotheos Mihalopoulos These are FACTS
That’s a weird compliment
Hes cute whatever hes doing!!
That’s so creepy lol
Matt crying was m literally during the whole video (but I had a smile the whole time) SHES ADORABLE OMG
Dounia horanmendes me to
You’re so right
My grandma is my hero and was the only person ever there for me at all times while I was growing up. This past summer, she suffered from a stroke and ever since then still remains in the nursing home for assisted living. She’s always wanted to go to Vietnam again but unfortunately now, that’s a little harder to do. Just watching this video though truly melted my heart!
TrickorTriett I'm so sorry to hear, hope she is gonna get better. I'm so happy to know that she has such feelings for my country, we're glad to have had her and gave her an amazing time. If she's ever coming back again, I'm more than happy to have her. Hit me up at my Instagram: tpmai.alex
Hope YesTheory and her can make it happen.
Wish you and your family all the best ❤️
Taiga Aisaka thank you so much! Don’t worry, we’ve got family over there but as soon as she gets better, I’m paying for her next plane ticket there. I believe in her, so I’m sure she’ll recover some day! Thanks again for your support and kind words though!
TrickorTriett
Great to know so! She is lucky to be surrounded by so many loving people. She got over all things in life, she is a fighter, this will obviously not gonna stand in her way 💪
Hope everything goes well and if you guys ever need any help, you know where to find me 🤘
Best wishes ❤️
TrickorTriett Yes theory needs to see this , reply to their comment about fulfilling elders wishes
TrickorTriett I wish u much luck I hope she will be able to go to Vietnam 😘
"I'm good with names. It makes everyone feel good that you know who they are."
I'm bad with faces and names and most of the time I don't even bother trying to remember them at all. And now I heard this and it made me think of things.
Why you sad? I don’t know nan molla.
Okay I’ll go now 😂
Try to remember the people by their voice and clothes
You aren't ugly. If your mind is clear then you aren't be ugly. ugly people never be with good mentality.
I read this right when she said it lol
"Get out of the way, let's go"
“I can’t believe that I’m actually out here again.”
What you guys are doing is amazing, the fact that you can make someone so happy, doing something that they love and something that they thought they’d never get the chance to do again is incredible 💕
Also Ellie is a true hero,the fact that she had that type of positive attitude at the age of 88 was very inspiring. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. Seek Discomfort.
I love how Ammar always keeps smiling :) So much positive vibes on this channel!
I cried from the first second this video started to even now as I write this. This was a hard video for me to watch. I lost my only two surviving grandparents within 14 months of each other. My grandfather passed away after a painful 7 month battle with pancreatic cancer in May of 2017. The summer before he passed, he was the healthiest man I knew and was out sailing on the lake and living his life to the fullest. In early July of this year, my grandmother passed away due to kidney failure, but a broken heart as well. Again, the summer before she passed, she was out on the lake slalom skiing. She still holds the record for being the oldest slalom skier on that lake. Both my grandparents were so lively and had so much joy and had a drive to live their lives to the fullest. It's hard to know that they are no longer on this planet, but I am glad to know that they are with the Lord and they are together again. My emotions are still very raw right now, but I you guys did a fantastic job on this video and I'm so glad Ellie got a chance to live her dream again! Keep doing what you're doing, Yes Theory. You inspire me.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my father and my grandma within a span of 12 days. My father was a man who loved to travel but unfortunately he met with an accident in one of the trips which took his life. Grandma passed away 12 days later in her sleep. I'm the kind of person who usually bottles up my feelings but this video honestly brought tears to my eyes. I just hope wherever they are, they are happy.
@@abhijit9449 brother stay strong 🤗
Excuse my french but how the actual fuck is this NOT one of the subscribed to channels on youtube? This channel produces nothing other than 10/10 content.
Vez Error 404: No Paul surname found
seriously
you don't have to excuse your french.. from that comment i see you're pretty good at it
so true
Peach my guy
My grandparents are from Tibet, but ever since China invaded Tibet they were forced to leave and since then they haven’t been able to go back for financial and other complicated reasons. It would be a dream for them to go back to Tibet, their home, for the first time since they were maybe 19/20 years old
I recommend maybe starting a Go Fundme to fullfill her wishes again.
It would be nice to see this in a vid
Crazy to read a comment like this while actually being in Tibet rn. Hope they'll make it to Tibet one day!!
I really hope this goes viral!
Basant Gaur I hope it too
After looking Ellie up, it was found that she died on July 12th, 2020. RIP ❤️🙌 im glad she got to do this again.
Rip Ellie ❤️🙏🏻
That was less than a month ago 😢 at least we know she died happy and fulfilled partly thanks to these guys ❤ RIP Ellie
Oh no, she was so sweet
R.I.P Ellie you did why you wanted so you definitely lived a happy life💖💖💖
That was 8 days after my birthday; I'm so glad she got to go skiing again. It's sad as she seemed so nice but at least it seemed like she was ready.
Ellie from Up????
What a different paradise falls
Lucas Ang XiTruS late reply but this is an underrated comment lol
YOU CRUEL PERSON 😭 NOW YOU'VE GOT MW CRYINGGGGG
Way to go, Ellie!!! This is awesome! :)
Jake & Josh wheres drake?
Jake & Josh I was literally just watching your juggling tutorial and now I know how to juggle
How is it you tubers I watch always comment on other youtubers I watch? Is the TH-cam community really that small?
we're humans who enjoy good videos too :) Yes Theory is one of our favorite channels!
This must've been the greatest video Yes theory has ever made!! Ellie has such a beautiful soul and she exudes positivity despite having a legitimate reason for not being able to get back to the slopes at 88. I wish you well, Grandma Ellie. Yes Theory, thank you for always giving us high quality and inspiring content on each video :)
Agreed
As someone that turns over rooms for Brookdale Senior living community she was just happy to get out of that hellhole
God I love you guys, made my day once’s again, best channel ever.
EdBoSs same
After watching yes theory I decided to start saving up to bring my mom to ireland. She’s done so much for her kids and still continues to do so, I remember when I was younger she would talk about wanting to go to Ireland to find her husband (from the movie ps I love you) so I want to take her to ireland, go to a pup, and find someone to sing “love you till the end” and for once let her live her dream as she’s helped us kids live ours for so long
That’s so sweet
Have you been able to do it yet? That sounds so sweet❤
SEEK Discomfort. I can’t wait until you guys hit 1m been here since day 1 and been loving the vids every since. I don’t now any other youtubers that deserve this more than you guys.
Same been here since the beginning!
Wait, so only almost two years later, they’re almost at 5mil
My grandma is an immigrant from North Korea. She left a communist regime and escaped to South Korea in hopes of a better life. Around 25 years ago, she left her husband behind and came to America. At 92 years old, my grandpa has lived in S.Korea his entire life. For the past couple of years, my grandma has made it her goal to go to Korea to see him. Unfortunately, health concerns have limited them to seeing each other through a phone screen. Just two weeks ago, my grandfather passed away before they were ever able to see each other. She wasn’t even able to attend the funeral. It’s been her dream to relive her younger days by getting a chance to go back to South Korea to visit the place where she grew up. Check out instagram.com/p/BQohniyj8VT/ to see their photo together! Love you guys @YesTheory and all that you do. ❤️❤️
Awwwww that’s beautiful and sad I’m crying so much.
@yestheory ❤ this one please
I'm so glad she managed to leave!!
Holy shit that made my eyes well up with tears. That's so upsetting to hear but I know if she was able to revisit where she grew up it will no doubt help ease her pain by reliving those happy memories of her youth. I truly hope the guys make this happen for her. Much love to you and your grandma ❤
@Yes Theory Please help this lady out! It's clear, that it would mean ALOT
As a 6'3" 280lb man, this honesty made me cry! Everything on this earth is temporary. Love everyone to the fullest. I miss my grandma's.
I can relate man.
Just cuz ur a big dude doesn't mean u shouldn't cry bro
I miss mine too. I still have my other grandma and I can't wait to see her again in about a week
Nathan Henry it doesnt matter how big your size is, if you're human you're human. let it all out if you have fo
Bro, I am right there with you 1000%
I have just recently discovered this channel and I think i missed half of my life. This is my day 2 binge watching all your videos and I think I'm actually dehydrated right now because of crying. Hahahahaha. I am a Filipino living in Melbourne right now and as you all know we've been on a stage 4 restriction which means we cannot go out at all unless we're buying essential stuff but in my case i didn't know how to drive so that's why I am staying at home the whole 6 weeks and this is my quarantine task to finish binge watching all your videos and learn how to seek that discomfort and try saying yes to an adventure.
I'm loving every bits of this video btw as i am missing my grandparents back in my country.
Thank you, yes theory! For inspiring us to seek discomfort and also providing comfort amidst of this chaos. 🤍
Me too I was inspired by their videos! And I cried with this one. I Stay safe po kabayan!
@@arponseankenryjamesb3988 Stay safe po! 😊
Yeeey
My grandpa is 85, perfectly healthy like a soldier! no illness! Thankyou God! 😁😇 Touchwood!
Savvy Dude its not god its just having a good body by living healthy lmao god is fake asf. Why do murders live healthy whit money and big houses well good people die of cancer? Lmao god is fake
bro calm down and let people believe what they believe
Pyro Finn One can deny there's no God but noone can deny that there's a strong force acting around us in the universe!
Btw my Grandpa is a retired Police Officer! No corruption whatsoever! Just Good deeds! Just Good life!
Pyro Finn well at this age he is going to experience some changes which ever his type of lifestyle is. Its normal to have joint pain and some other conditions, but if his grandfather is fine and healthy thats pretty rare
Savvy Dude dont get me wrong im happy your grandpa is doing okay but my grandma was religious worked as a travel agent did nothing wrong ever great woman and died at a young age. So i dont get if there was a god why he would let goode people die and get sick and bad people survive
My grandpa is an ex marine who fought in Vietnam and he’s always talked about how he loved to be in the planes and that some of his best memories were in the planes and he’s had a couple injuries here and there and I’m afraid he won’t be able to get in a plane by the time I’m old enough to set it up for him so it would be amazing if you guys could somehow help us out with this btw don’t worry I cried to it this video was amazing❤️😊
anonymous H Your grandma is a he?
Dekucon oh shit typo lol😂
Dekucon thx for pointing that out😂
anonymous H Not hating. Liked your story 👍
Aww! I'd love to see that.
I'm 71 years and never fancied skiing, but I did admire Ellie doing it again at her age.
when she said "So exhilarating!" I started balling my eyes out in joy for her! my mother teaches adaptive skiing.. you guys are so awesome!
love
Matt Natoli ya can see how much fun she had. Like goin back in time. Beautiful moment.
Have A Blessed Day
About 3 years ago I went skydiving in Boston with my sister & cousin, and my grandma said to let her know when I’m going to do it again because she wants to skydive as well. She’s turning 93 in May and with old age she’s become more anxious about many things so I’m not sure if she’s still up for it. If the opportunity came up, I would ask her if she’ll be up & able to do it. Love you guys!! This video is very touching and inspiring !
julia p Plan it, take her! Please!
Take her!!!
Elli is so lovable! I love her mindset so much. Your body is only as powerful as your mindset. Age should never limit what you can do!
:)
You have a nice name
JGtv - ikr his last name is such a happy word like the blooming sunflower. it has a happy, positive connotation (:
Channel seems so same as YesTheory
"What you make of life is truly up to you. To either decide to make it one big adventure till the very last second or you lose it bit by bit, to mundane routine." ❤️
Reminds me of Ellie in the movie "Up" :')
Well said.
Hammad Ahmad wait so she gonna die?
yooooooooo.
Jesus Christ yeah I would assume she will die... I thought that’d be obvious
Hammad Ahmad :')
Mark my words, these guys will have 10 million subs this time next year.
Hopefully👏🏼👏🏼
They definitely deserve it, most heart warming and inspiring show all while making you laugh. I love yes theory and what they stand for. Keep up the great work you guys!
This is beautiful! Yes theory all the way!!! Thank you for sharing amazing content and planting seeds of yes in all of our lives❤️
My grandpa, who is turning 87 in a few days, used to be in the Navy, and had traveled to a few international bases, but there is still one place he wants to go. I asked him if he could choose anywhere in the world to go where would it be? And he replied with Tahiti. I told him we would go one day, but he shook his head. Ever since he lost his leg to an infection, he hasn’t had much motivation to go anywhere. This would fulfill one of his last wishes :)) thank you guys for the opportunity to write this and thank you guys for always giving back to people!
You guys at some point should totally get a homeless guy off the street and give him a place to stay throughout the month, documenting his journey from a homeless person to potentially getting a job etc.
Gilanes I like that idea I have seen it done before but yes theory did it I think it would be so much better
Yess
Im never tired to hear Thomas' voiceover in their videos. Anyone agrees?
Khair Khair it’s not Matt?
FineLookingGamers no thomas always does the voiceover
Khair Khair i agree i think every video they should have someone else talking
Anthony Vu
Nope I’m good with Thomas!!
It's ASMR!
That was one great video! Thanks for sharing this story guys!
Man, you guys probably won’t ever read this comment but this videos you guys make bring joy to me knowing there’s people like you in the world who help COMPLETE STRANGERS out of the kindness of your hearts. If I had the money and resources I would definitely help my parents and others around the world!!! Thanks for the awesome videos!!!
And it’s funny, I’m so lucky, my grandma at 86 has started to travel with me, (I’m in high school) taking me to places as far as Switzerland, Austria, Germany and some other places. She’s a badass, in her lifetime she has gone on strikes with her fellow teachers in the forty’s, helped my grandfather who was a scientist that created inventions in things we use everyday, but of course was too good of a guy and was going through hard things at home too make a profit off of (obviously he did ok if she can take me to Europe but I’m saying he could of been a millionaire), she taught in some of New York’s roughest public schools for more then forty years, helping the impoverished, the disabled. It’s insane, I’m balling thinking about how blessed I am to grow up with both sets of my grandparents who have incredible stories and have gone through hardships I will never understand. I’m just sad, knowing my grandparents lived there lives the best they can, and I’m worried that I won’t be as successful as them, or as successful as my parents. Which would be disappointing more for them than me. I just want to have a good time, go out and have a blast like you folks are, and thank god you found an economical way of doing it, Someone should get to have a little bit of fun in their life. High schools definitely been a drag lately and you guys have helped/not, creating fantasy’s of running away and living on some beach in Cuba or the Caribbean, but please keep making videos. I’ve been watching them ever since you guys first popped up on Snapchat however long ago that was, probably not long, but still I’m happy to say I got here before most people 😘 congrats on having abuncha subs. Love you guys and keep on living dudes.
Alexander Knight READ THIS ARTICLE!!! @yestheory
i really... really... REALLY can't tell you how much i cryed as a 35 year old guy watching this video... it's really something.. i can't even find the worlds... really!!!
CappellaioMatto666 it's love Brother. Everyday is a blessing. Enjoy every breath God gives to us.
Have A Blessed Day
Omg this is so sad I’m crying she’s so strong she inspires me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amy123xx Fam it’s not sad, it’s beautiful.
I work for hospice in northern NY and see people at the end of their lives on a regular basis. When your days left on this earth are short, everything becomes very distilled and you realize what is REALLY important in life. Thank you for doing what you do, and reminding people to take advantage of the one precious life we are all given, and to make the most of it while we can. Tomorrow is never promised so every today needs to be lived to the fullest. This world needs more people like you. Thank you
im not crying, YOURE crying
Anton Mossberg skadoodle ?

You have all my respect YES THEORY! Amazing content ! It is such a shame that some uneducated vloggers have millions of subscribers but your channel, full of passion, love and positivity hasn't reached a million yet.This is the ugly truth of living in this era.
Brulant_coeur what’s education got to do with this?
wait I’m not crying you are
Don’t ask, just feel ^

"What you make of life is truly up to you. You either decide to make it one big adventure until the the very last second, or you lose it bit by bit too mundane routine"
Great quote! I will have to refer to it often
Hi guys, my names Brianna and I'm from Anchorage, Alaska! I'm 25, and sadly I can't say I have any grandparents alive. My grandmother passed away in her 50's when I was just a young child after she retired and moved from Alaska. She was such an inspiration. I have the best pictures, videos and memories of her to keep her spirit always with me. I think what would really make her happy is seeing her family happy and well. Her brother lives in California, and I would love to come out there and film something with him. He has a very small scooter that he actually rode up to see my dad in Oregon. Mind you He's pushing 80, but can still drink and have fun like he's in his 20s. That would really make my family feel so fortunate and especially make my grandpa proud and happy. Thanks for the inspirational videos, keep doing amazing things.
Guys, I have a challenge for you from someone called Jorfro (they left it in the comments on the sleepover video). Make a small band and try to book yourself a concert. The band must contain at least three members and must have one or more vocalist. You have to find a creative and suiting name. To successfully complete this challenge you have to sell a minimum of 100 tickets to ONE of your shows. Each ticket must cost at least one dollar or more. You are not permitted to advertise true your most popular social media channels.
My grandma wants to go back home to Michigan one last time before she passes to see all of her family. We live in texas. This would be incredible!!
I'm in Warren, Mi. You guys close to here?
Start a go fund me
Get in contact with me at my email, it’s kinsleypoll68@gmail.com
I’m not going to lie to you, I don’t have money to give or anything, but I do have buddy passes that could make the ticket less for your grandma and if someone else might want to go! I live up here in Michigan and ironically have family down in Texas. Maybe if things work out, I can take your grandma where she needs to go, because family is so important, and she deserves to see them again.
I've prob watched over 30 of ur videos last couple of days, this one was the one that made me hit that sub button.
haha.. same here!
Incredible video as always - I love you guys! My Grandma is turning 90 years old this year - she has wanted to go skydiving for a few years now. She is pretty frail but able to walk on her own without assistance. She grew up in France and learned English during WW2 when her hometown was occupied by German soldiers. Along with skydiving, she has also wanted to return to France since I can remember but was never afforded the opportunity. She has some amazing stories about what she has experienced throughout her life and has an immense wealth of knowledge that I enjoy hearing about every time I am able to visit her. Somehow there is always a story that I've never heard before.
My grandma biggest wish was to see her grandsons (after 10 years) but she passed away the week we were going there 😭😭
I love you grandma 💖
Marvin Lazo RIP to your Grandma. 💓💓💓💓
🙏rip
may she rest in piece.
RIP I'm so sorry
RIP
We need more of this in the world, there isn't much going on that I love but this channel really brings a new perspective on a positive attitude and I love it, keep it going guys.
I've always said... I. Love. Old people!!! They have so much wisdom and life in them, it's incredible what you can learn from an old person. Wow. Plus they're so cute. 😂🙌🏽😝🖖🏾 I LOVE your channel and I'm inspired!! I wanna start saying yes to things... random ones. I wish I could join you on this but at the same time, I don't cause it's so scary what you sometimes have to do. It's mostly adventurous and wild which is what I want from my life. Just travel, my camera, and ADVENTURES.
This is so sweet. You guys are literally one of the best TH-camrs out there!
Quiz Girl
Defitinitely. They are one of my two favs and two opposites but still loving caring “people person type”
Wauw, i'm usually not getting emotional from a video from youtube, but this got me.
my grandma is terminal ill and i'm spending my last days with the family at her place,
the emotion & energy from Ellie on the mountain is heartwarming and inspirational.
its super special that you could capture a event like this, i am genuinely touched by this, just wauw
amazing video, Much Love
Michael I hope you are doing as good as you can be in your situation, my grandpa died last June. He wasn’t a great guy wen he married my grandma at 19. He was a mean alcoholic and smoker and always fought with her and the kids not physically but still. When he wasn’t drunk he was a hard worker and good dad. He loved my grams so much he couldn’t stay away so every time they split a while later there’d be back and try to work it out. Eventually we came along, me and my identical sister. He had stopped drinking by this point. He was in AA and had done a lot to help people there. But he still smoked. He worked really hard to stop for us and eventually did. He did a good man but a great grandfather and I love him for all the fishing trips and camping trips and how he always did what he could for us. When we had to go to his funeral it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. But I saw his true impact when I went. Like I said earlier he was in AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and we thought it would be a small family gathering and a few old friends who saw it in the paper. But there were even young kids there that my grandpa helped stop drinking and that was heartwarming to see. Any way even though he died because his drinking and smoking had most likely caused his multiple cancers he fought as long as possible even after have two open heart surgeries and a pacemaker put in he knew he did his best and died peacefully as a good man.
Kaaay, sorry for day sad mumbo jumbo the point is remember the good times and that these hard times will indeed pass.
Okay thanks for listening even though I am just a 14year old 13 when he passed, I hope I helped.
Oh and let the tears flow for the first few months when you think about her when she passes hopefully very peacefully, prayers going out to you tonight not the stupid emoji ones ok bye
wauw thank you for sharing your story,
my grandma died a few hours i posted the comment on this video.
she died peacefully in her sleep with her son (My dad) and her daughter near her side,
i feel sad writing this but i also feel rest in my heart and mind because she had the chance to speak to the whole family and say her goodbye's including me.
i have many great memories build up trough the years with my grandparents,
my grandma was 92 years old and very active on facebook replying to everyone's pictures and status updates,
so every time i posted something she was there with a like and a inspirational comment and always saying how much she loved the post or picture.
when she past away we posted about it with her facebook page, generating over 900 replies on it within a day.
she was the local facebook legend.
your grandpa sounds like he saw the light and really tried to change himself to be a better man
i have much respect for people who can do that, its easy to give up and go with a flow even when its a vicious circle heading to rock bottom. i'm glad he worked it out with your grandma
and i hope you have many great memories of him so you can remember him as the person he wants to be remembered as
thank you for your reply, means a lot to me
Much love
Michael i imagened my grandma like yours and now im sad im really sorry for what your going through or gone through
My grandma is truly my biggest hero, she has recently lost some of her senses and has made her life slower. When i was talking to her recently i found out that she has never been to Poland. Her entire family is from Poland and i think if you guys could make it happen it would check off a part if her life she hasnt been able to yet. I love your guys videos and look forward to seeing the future of your channel! Thanks!
Daniel Krieger hey, I’m from Poland. If you need some help to make your grandma’s wish i’m Here to help you.
this hits extra hard because she resembles my late grandmother who passed away a while ago and seeing this pop up in my notifications was a mixed bag of feelings. Some sad, and some happy seeing this 88-year old living her dreams. Please continue to make such great content. And may we all continue to pursue our, yes theory.
Uh oh, my eyes are sweating again😫
Yazzie same
Yeah I'm totally not crying. Stop looking at me!
dang it why are my eyes so sweaty
I'm not crying. You're crying!!!!
WHOS CUTTING ONIONS!!!!
Holy shit guys, this hit right in the feels... Such a nice story that was captured beautifully, really hope it goes viral and gets the attention it deserves. May we all fulfill our dreams one day and regret the things we HAVE done rather than the things we HAVEN'T done. 🙏 Thanks for the #Inspiration
Well... I cried. This is beautiful, this is the reason why I love you and admire you guys and definitely want to meet you one day even though that's probably never gonna happen cause I live in Croatia. But heyy, everything's possible, you prove that with your every video, so who knows 😊
karla huff shot yo sensitive ass up
Nvm, i cried
I will never forget this video. I feel like she is my grandmother. What an incredible woman, and what incredible men you all are. I wish I lived in LA as I wish I could meet you guys and say "YES!" to a spontaneous adventure with you all.
Best wishes to you all, thank you for all the amazing videos I get to be inspired by and the pleasure of binge watching them every chance I get! Thank you!!
My grandma is 80 years old and she's always wanted to go to Canada and see Niagra falls but shes never been able to and because of her old age and the condition her back and legs are in(multiple surgeries done to her back and legs) she's never been able to go but I would absolutely love to see her fulfill her dream
Man this really tells you there should be no excuses and that you can do whatever you want if you set your mind to it!
I can’t believe this happened. You guys are amazing humans. Like seriously I just wish that everyone could be like you guys! You are real role models for me and I wanna live the yes theory way every day! Keep it up guys!
I'm living for her energy. This video was amazing
How do you not cry during this video! Also my grandmother is 66 and loves basically everything, she loves skiing, running with the dogs, hiking, and now her granddaughter has cerebral palsy so she is in a wheel chair. I know my grandmother would love to hike or ski with her! My grandfather is 88 and would love the experience as well! Thanks yes theory! Also I have a friend named Omar from Egypt and Ammar and Omar talk the same and I find it funny
Riley S he did cry at 6:00
Can someone stop chopping the onions ffs!
they cut the onions in half and rubbed them directly on my eyeballs
OMG I AM CRYING here too.. :(
Those damn onions
This is the best video I have ever seen. My grandma is back home in Honduras and she is losing her eyesight on the only eye she has left. I see her only during Christmas since I am an international student living in St. Louis Missouri. I have been trying to gather funds to take her to Miami and see her eye doctor and hopefully I'll be able to do it soon. You guys are an inspiration and I want to congratulate you for what yo do. I just started binge watching your videos last weekend and I am hooked. Keep on the great content!
That's so amazing, I hope you get to bring your grandma to Miami 🙂 I also live in a different country from my grandma but I'm glad I get to see her next week for the holidays
Start a gofundme? How is your grandma doing?
How's your grandma doing rn please tell me
She made me cry man i love that lady! Nothing will EVER stop her like she said "Age doesnt tell you want you can do your body tells you what you can and cant do"
This is the kind of stuff I've subscribed for. I've recently found your channel and I've been binge watching it ever since. You guys inspire be to become a better person every day, thank you so much :)
bonevoid lol you are from mega Walls NO WAY LOOol I've been watching this guys and I love their channel cool to see you here
lol I had no idea someone would recognize me :)
That's really cool :P
I’m so sad.... I love my grandmother so much and I want the best for her. She is 88 and almost 89 and he starting to forget things. I don’t think she has any hobbies and I just want the best for her but she doesn’t think she’s worth anything. Growing up, all her life people have told her she’s stupid. She believes it now. I just want her to be happy. I love her so much. I just don’t know what to do.... I want her to be happy.
Through this comment I can’t explain how much I care and feel. I don’t know what to do. Please help me. Please help us.
Also I know probably people won’t read this but if you do, I don’t get notifications for TH-cam comments so my instagram is @Alycia148 if anyone has any tips for me. Please dm me... I don’t know what else to do.
You guys making the right moves!
1 Million Yet To Come!!
My grandma actually already had hers fulfilled last year but I wanted to share anyway. My grandmother fled Cuba in the 60's with her family and did not want to leave. She actually went missing a few days they were expected to leave but they found her and she came to the states. December of 2017 (a year before I post this) she was able to go home for the first time in 50 years. Her cousin had been going back and forth with his wife to restore an old theater in her home town, so they made arrangements for her to go and see the opening of it, and of course see home. Unfortunately the theater was unable to reopen but she will never forget going back home.
Who ever disliked that has no heart...
iThundarz ya screw the haters
Its most likely a missclick tho
iThundarz they are demons in human skin
iThundarz ikr like wtf
They misread it to "Dis I like"
She’s the type of people we all should look up to! This is by far my new fav Yes Theory episode it made me so happy watching it.
You guys are truly amazing and such an inspiration to everyone. This is so sweet and kind for what you did for Ellie! I'm literally crying now. Yes Theory, you guys are amazing! Thank you for completing her bucket list.
Colorado is a beautiful place and an even better place to ski! So glad to see them taking her skiing and making her dream come true again. My grandpa had so many wishes I knew it but he had bladder and lung cancer, couldn't make it so we could do those dreams. It's great to know that people are still going out there doing this.
I went to a retirement home just for 2 hours with a group and did activities with them. My friends danced with them, we drew pictures with them and heard their stories. If you haven't gone out and just hung out with seniors do it. It's great to know the community and get great advice.
This is still one of my favorite vids from them. Her story always is inspirational and makes me tear up everytime.
I want to hug Ellie and I really want to cry, she is the nicest person I've seen and right now to me words can't describe the emotions that I feel watching this video, what you guys have done is outstanding and Ellie is definitely the person who deserves to receive this opportunity
Re-watching this episode made me really emotional, i always admire the old people with still the desire to live on & be excited with the tomorrows. In my entourage, i always try to make old people smile & happy because they're still here and kicking ! Some families, help-workers often forget that. It was a really good episode with you guys ! Really appreciated it :)
So inspiring, my granpa is 75 and still has his annual sky pass! I hope he can continue going skiing every week for many years to come. He goes with his «young» friends in their fifties, who are always impressed and inspired by him. His age never stoped him from skiing, fishing, gardening and much more, he always does what he wants! He is my role model in so many ways. He was in the military, a firefighter and police officer for many years, and has such amazing stories. He is even busier now that he's retired with the community service he does. He's the best grandpa and father figure I could have ever asked for.
omg i cant even with grandma stories.... i lost my grandma 6 years ago and this is so touching... there are ninja cutting onions around me right now
So cute when she kept saying "I can't believe I'm here!" I wish for her sake that she could live up there in the mountains and do this everyday for the rest of her life.
This the first video I’ve ever cried too and this makes me want to do everything I set my mind to and never give up in accomplishing all my dreams in life and always seek discomfort
A lesson for the decades and generations to come !
Ellie, we still all love and admire you. May her family always remember she sure became a role-model for tens of thousands among us.
This video is the absolute proof of what real humans are capable of, for themselves and for the ones they love.
Yes theory guys and girls, you rock... definitely !
Rediscovered your channel this week and been watching a ton of your stuff. You guys are hands down the best channel on this platform. Your ability to share stories about love and truly living is the most amazing thing I've seen in a very long time
Honestly is there a better way to start valentine's day than watching yes theory at 1:42 am ? I think not 😂
Rebecca Seddon it’s like 5:45 here in LA haha
8 here in the middle of Pennsylvania.
Rebecca Seddon yaasssss preach 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Honestly yes
Watching it at 1:52 am!
Thank you for puttiinng a smile on my face and fulfilling granny's wish yes theory
What a wonderful human being Ellie is. Bless her heart and massive respect to her for living her life the way she truly wanted. Well done yes theory for making this dream happen again for her.
You guys are awesome, may God bless you! And Ammar, your sunglasses are always so cool! I love every one of you, but i miss Derin too! Is there any way you can get him in one of your future videos???
My Grandma would've been the type of person up for this! 😂❤️
Same
This was truly the best thing I’ve ever seen on TH-cam! I’m so very proud of you guys for doing this for her! That’s what life is all about! My Grandmas dream is to go to Alaska and I’ve always promised her we would go one day. This made me think of her every second of it. ❤️ thank you for sharing this.
My great-grandma passed this year in June at 88 years old. It was really beautiful to see another person the same age as her just as lively and full of emotion and just so impassioned with life. I really hope Ellie is doing well and I hope she can go skiing again.
Ohhhh Shiii, I never cry, but after I saw Matt tear up a tear leaked out😂😂

You Guys Are Exactly What The World Needs Everyday! A Huge THANK YOU. AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU IN THE YES THEORY, AND SEEK DISCOMFORT..BE KIND AND SHOW LOVE.
I love that she said “age is just a number, your body tells what you can and can’t do”.. I started crying after she said that.
