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

I'm an ebay seller and I held on to it for the good memories, since Darren just wore that thing like crazy. My Mom swore that it came from Aunt Toots in Marmora Ontario Canada and that we were related to the amazing late Greg Terrion of the Maple Leafs. I had finally listed it on ebay but when I saw Alex's story about Hans, I knew that I wanted him to have it. Darren agreed (and BTW so amazed at the old Cadillac story since he's car guy too!) so we mailed it off. Happy that he likes it and I knew it would fit him (as my hubby Darren was 155 lbs in his 20's)but wow, what a great fit!! Just loved seeing all the beautiful things everyone has sent him.

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

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

They said she is a TH-cam subscriber didn't say if she was single or not. That would be amazing if he found a girlfriend. It cracked me up when he said he was getting mop with flowers on it so he could dance across the kitchen floor and pretend it's my girlfriend. OMG LOL. We can pray for his perfect new life he's such a caring and giving man he was even paying it forward buying the nails to put a new roof on a single mom's house. He had said he would do the work for free if she bought the materials yet he was buying the nails for her with the money someone gave him to get what he needed yet he's thinking of someone else. The world needs more people like him and Alex that are so willing to help others.

    This series, as well as Mary's, is so heartwarming! I wish Hans knew how deserving he was for all his blessings, that he will continue to receive. That goes for you too Alex!!
    I am thrilled to see that my donation to Hans is so very much appreciated. Thank you for this video Alex :)

    Hi Alex, I have loved and enjoyed Hans since I found your channel last year and am binge watching in reverse! Love love love your videos, character, generosity, humor, and dedication to your family, fans, and friends! I’m watching this video of Hans story and am in happy tears! What a truly remarkable man Hans is… I love his laughter and light sense of humor! He’s precious! I am so happy for him in his new home and sharing in his new journey as he feels like a “spoiled rotten brat” after getting the items needed for his new home! You would NEVER guess the hardships he has endured with the smile and laughter he has that is just utterly contagious! Thank you for sharing this with us! You too are a remarkable man! Cheers!Xx

    15 tears ago i was a homeless drunk killing myself slowly, then one day finally got into geared to income housing. a few years later sobered up. My life is very different today because of the generosity and kindness of others around me. I got lucky. this story hit close to home for me. pun intended. These days i buy coffee and donuts when people are cold, when i can afford it.
