My mom was caleb’s nurse before the family left for jacskonville. they are great loving people and i’m very happy to see them getting recognition and hope their travels are everything they hope for.
Can yiur mom get ahold of them an tell them about Emory hospital here in Atl GA. They are an amazing hospitsl that does alot of research. The moms laugh was so contagious. You can tell how much they love each h other and haven't let their babies sickness tske away from the joy and making sure he has the best life. I wish they had their own little channel to teach ppl about things. They would be amazing for them and would open alot of doors for them as well. Blessings to your momma and to this family as well. I use to be a nurse till I got very sick and can't do it anymore. It sucks. But it really takes ppl with big hearts to do that job.
@@stephanielong2674That’s a great idea!❤ Surely there has to be a dr some Where that could help.🙏
Im in Jax FL
@@stephanielong2674I let her know! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰
@@KelsAndJay very welcome
It’s not the build, but the reason for it that makes you two rock stars. ✌️
Love you buddy ❤️❤️

And THOSE are the parents of the century. For real. And the creativity, skill and generosity of Keels and Jay are beyond words.

I think it’s selfish to keep him artificially alive. Give him to God and if He wants him to survive then His Will Be Done not the parents. Question: who wants to go travelling?
@@joholly1951God ain’t real, and your comment is absolutely disgusting. I hope you seek help and go to a therapist
@joholly1951 His machines help him to be comfortable. He would choke, struggle to breathe, feel hunger pain, and die a horrible death without them. None of us would want to be denied help if we were choking, struggling to breathe, or starving.
He is God’s child and we are blessed to have the privilege to care for him. There have been at least two times over the years when he’s come very near to death when he was in the hospital. Each time we “gave him to God”, we encountered Divine intervention that spared his life. While we may not yet understand, we believe God has a purpose in him being here. Until God chooses to take him home, we will do our best to selflessly care for him.
@jcspider7259 We agree - Kels and Jay are awesome! Thank you for your very kind words of encouragement about us too. ❤
My wife and i have three kids. Our youngest who is now six has Rett syndrome. She is non mobile, non verbal. We just started our own van build with a Dodge promaster. It’s a daunting tasks but seeing this is encouraging.
Hi you guys. My 5 year old grandbaby was diagnosed with Rett syndrome. My daughter and I are having a hard time with her doctor's and we don't really know what to expect. We are both doing research and trying to find out everything we can to help her. She goes to a special school now. At first she was in regular school. I saw your comment and wanted to reply. We really do not have anyone around our area that has Rett. We will never lose hope and will keep our faith. You are in my prayers. I love what these 2 done for this family ❤❤
Hi, where are you located? We’re up in Alberta.
Good luck with your van build. I’ve seen a bit about Rett Syndrome because of SBSK TH-cam channel. Sending love from Nevada ❤
@@reneepowers3019 that's awesome! i have two special needs adult brothers and i am just starting to plan a van build to take them with me wherever I go... even if im just visiting a girlfriend, they want to come along and to have a van as part of our home, we can literally go anywhere.
we are getting our van in late august and are so excited to embark on this journey too! all the best you both and your lovely daughter! ❤
I’m a single mama and my little girl can’t walk or talk she has LGS syndrome. Cortical visual impairment her and her brother are my everything! One of my main goals in life is getting somehow a Wheelchair van so I can take my sweet girl with us always! She absolutely loves the family feud. One of my goals is getting her there one day in her own van. God bless you guys for doing this for this family.❤️❤️❤️
As a mother of a severely disabled adult at home I really appreciated watching the care put into this project
I am a former cna here. She takes immaculate care of him. May their trips be long and joyous!
This is amazing❤my son Jordan would have loved this so much. He passed away last June from muscular dystrophy. His birthday is Tuesday the 25th. We loved camping. I miss him so much😢
I'm sending this to his messenger profile to let him know someone finally built what he dreamed of❤
As a former special needs driver, knowing what a joy rides out are for some this brought me
to tears! Thank you!
This is so inspiring 😢 ... My son Ainslie was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 2. He turned 16 in March. I am a single mom of 3 and it gets very hard at times, but God!
You are beautiful people ❤ ... There is a great blessing in what you guy's did for this family 💓
Got here from your time on Chuck's show last week, you just made an old man cry. I'm the lone caregiver for my bride who @ 58 developed early-onset Alzheimer's. I'm still in the design phase of our skoolie but there are very few high needs builds that I've found online. You two are a true blessing and inspiration.
I just read your comment and I’m so baffled by your wife’s particular form of AD, I was a care giver for two wonderful women, Joanne* was a high level executive with the Army corps. of Engineers, and Jewels* was a systems analyst for Lockheed Martin. Both were 57 years old, and both found out something was a miss when they were approached by their H.R. department. Joanne has a very loving husband, when I cared for her, it was to give him some down time, she was then 77 years old, and he was 85. I literally thought he was in his 60’s, and he had an amazing attitude. She developed Sundowners and he would be mentally exhausted by 5:00pm, so I’d arrive at 4:00, and they lived in a senior apartment that had breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so I’d join them to assist with keeping her engaged with eating, and he could socialize some.
She was on the decline and would ask the same questions over and over every few minutes, sometimes I could sense his frustration, but he really did try to stay positive. Some things we figured out together were answering questions in a different way, she’d ask, “where are the boys?” Who were both in their mid 40’s, but as the evening approached she’d forget that Ted was her husband, and believed he was her father. She also would think she was younger and younger as the night unfolded, believing she was a teenager. So for the question about the boys, we’d say they were at school, since both attended college, that’s what tracked for her. When she would get upset, not recognizing their apartment was her home, she’d say “I want to go home” meaning her mommas house, or she’d ask to go to her sisters. Sadly they’d both been gone for many years, so the answer was, “we can’t go to moms, she’s with Sissy” and gratefully that satisfied her. In truth they really were together buried at the same cemetery.
But she’d often cry wanting that feeling of home. The reason I tell you all of this, is life becomes a bit of a dance, and you have to flow with it. There’s an amazing channel here on TH-cam called Dementia Careblazers, and I don’t know where I’d be as a carer without it. I’ve learned so many techniques not only in caring for my clients, but also helping the loved ones care for themselves as well as myself. My other patient Jewels was aware that she had Alzheimer’s, and we had a lot of fun together, she had excellent care, and her young adult children were her caregivers. They both were in their 20’s.
They did so much research and learned about various vitamins and supplements, which I honestly believe aided with the preservation of her memories.
We lost both of these amazing women, Joanne lost her battle at 79 years old, and Jewels actually passed from cancer.
I hope you check out dementia care blazers and look into vitamins and supplements, also, this is so important, cutting sugar and carbohydrates can make an amazing impact on brain health, I’ve heard Alzheimer’s referred to as Type 3 diabetes. Our brains are made of fat, and do so well with the ketogenic diet. Also, Cholesterol drugs such as statins are (in my opinion) the reason we are seeing a rise in dementia related illnesses. Please research that, along with any hormone replacement therapy drugs. I was shocked to see a black box warning on the ones I was prescribed that paraphrased said “this medication has been indicated in the onset of dementia” something to that effect. It was on the giant paper that’s folded 16 times and shoved in the box. Hope some of this information will help you, and I’m sorry this was so long. I am sending up a prayer for you and your wife, God bless.
@@valerief1231 Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and the TH-cam group, I was not aware of them.
In doing the very deep dive on my brides condition, I've traced it back to a convergence of causes.
She developed celiac disease shortly after her very traumatic divorce in her early 40's which coincided with every adult female (mother & sisters) in her family developing breast cancer in the same year. Only 1 sister survived and my bride never had cancer. (she made them test her several times).
In 2020 after a very "strange" few months of behavior, she was finally diagnosed with AD. I'm a huge proponent of reading ones genetic makeup and the gene testing I had done on her in 2021 showed, 1 APOE4 gene, and a host of other genetic predispositions including Luey Body, Insomnia, and a high sensitivity to Propofol, which is used in all kinds of surgery. Anicdotally, after two of her surgeries there was a noticeable decline in her cognitive abilities. I alerted her medical team on the Propofol sensitivity once I found out and for her lastl surgery they used a completely different sedative technique which had no ill effects.
That being said, she's also had 3 MRI's. 1 in 2011, 2 years before we met, 1 in 2018 and 1 in 2020. The nurilogist who reviewed the last one also reviewed the other two. The previous "Dr's" totally missed "open and obvious" lesions in both temporal lobes and the periatial lobe. Had we know then, we would be in a very different position now.
Once I know what we were dealing with, I dug into the research, found Dale Bredesen and started her on the Bredesen Protocol which is a modified Keto diet augmented with a number of supplements, exercises and super clean food choices.
Cronologicly she is 62, biologically she is 49 but she still has the Brain of an 85 year old. While there are improvements in some area's there are declines in others. We were talking tiny homes and travel before she became so obviously sick and AD will keep you home and hidden if you let. That's why we are building a bus. Thanks again for the TH-cam group info and thank you for choosing to be a caregiver, it's the front line to a world most people truly don't understand until it is thrust upon them.
Wish I could give a heart instead of just a thumbs up ❤ My favourite part of the build is that you gave Caleb a window so that he doesn't miss a second of the world going by 🥰
Kels & Jay you deserve a medal, and the parents too.
Holy crap-I'm 50 and in tears and grateful. Humans can do miraculous things. We're all brothers and sisters. A beautiful story here-love and family and courage and the joy of not ignoring a problem-Rather asking, "What can we do to help Caleb? To help our neighbors?HUGE LOVE, Pete and Mom 💜❤️💜❤️
I have to admit it , you two are about one of the best parents I’ve ever heard of. You both put so much dedication toward your son’s wellbeing as well as this camper build😮. Also the camper build was phenomenal in so many ways. With people like you, this camper would have take a life time. May god bless you all. We need more warm kind hearted people like you guys. This was so inspirational to me. Good luck and may all your wishes come true to your heart.
Thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement! ❤
I hope they start a channel for us to watch their adventures with Caleb and them in the van! Such beautiful parents, you can hear the love they have for their family, very touching!
What an amazing thing you’ve done for this family. You have me in tears. The joy that Caleb is expressing, the peace on his parents faces. This was absolutely beautiful ♥️♥️♥️
What y'all did for Caleb and his family literally made me cry! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for bringing joy to this family, but especially to Caleb's life.
This is the most beautiful, kind, loving act of human compassion I have ever had the pleasure of watching unfold. Knowing this young man and his family are enjoying this beautiful experience is a gift I will cherish as a viewer of the video.
Bless your beautiful hearts for sharing.
Okay so this build is live changing. I guess that’s obvious to many, but hits home for me in a different way. I live with a disability as well and spend the majority of my time in bed (getting in my wheelchair 0-3 times a week depending on how my body is doing). I can emphasise with Caleb and his family from lived experience. Being able to leave the house and explore is such a huge thing for mental health and quality of live! And together with his parents you thought of everything (even to secure him during transit). The stretcher has the potential to let Caleb and his family explore outside of the van as well.
I’ve honestly never seen a camper or van that was made for someone who needs so much assistance in care and you did outstanding work!
If you feel like you can keep doing builds for disabled people - please do. There’s many more folks out there who have high care needs that are not regarded by the vast majority of adaptive campers but would love the ability to travel like this and you two seem to have not only the know how but the empathy and understanding needed for a build like this.
You’re also helping make people like Caleb visible. They’re - we’re - out here with limited ability to take part in society and show ourselves. (Also thank you for keeping the pedestal ableism out of your video and vocabulary - if there were any I didn’t catch it on my first watch).
Best wishes from Germany!
Please read a gentle smile on my face, sitting in my room here in South Africa 🇿🇦 blessings all 👋👋🕊✝
Praying you get your van. As a disabled person with no car....I love to travel..l would too ..like this. Peace.
@@lynda6585 Aww, thank you! I actually have a car that can fit me in my wheelchair and all my luggage, so day trips and travel is possible as long as I am fit enough to be in my wheelchair.
I’m hoping and wishing you that you get all the adaptive equipment you need and that you too get to explore at some point!
Normalizing differences.
Can you explain what pedestal ableism is?
@@rebeccapaul4410 sure thing! Though it’s difficult to explain. Maybe another term for it is positive ableism. It describes when people use positivity to express ableist thoughts. It can be very subtle, like the way someone says “Thank you for coming, it’s so good to see you”. If the person says it to everyone in a neutral/happy tone it’s fine. But if it’s “Thank you *soo much* for coming, it’s *sooo* **gooood* to see *you*” that gives off a different vibe. It’s overemphasised and compassionate for something a disabled person might not want compassion for.
Another example is when people lift the person with disability or their carer up on a pedestal. The typical “I couldn’t do what you do”. “You’re an angel to take *such* good care of the disabled person”, “disabled person is *soo* good at xyz*. Most of these things are not inherently bad. It’s the place the person is coming from - often betrayed by the tone of voice - that makes a difference. Genuine compassion for someone is totally fine (say if someone wasn’t sure they could make it somewhere because of their health/disability), but assuming it must have been hard for someone though one doesn’t know makes it weird and ableist, kind of?! I hope I explained that well enough. For further reading or watching I recommend looking into the term “disability porn” (though that might be this phenomenon turned up a notch).
Have a good day 😌
Couldn't stop watching this , the young couple i wish you will be blessed all your lives for what joy you have given this family.
Mum and dad you are the best if parents in this world, and your still a team in love xxx
There are angels among us and everyone and company associated with this build are certainly that. God Bless you all. Hope you enjoy the van Caleb, Mom and Dad. ❤❤
Thank you! ❤
I cannot stop watching this video........... I am in tears.... Caleb wishing you and your Mum and Dad the VERY BEST AMAZING travel times!!
Thank you! ❤
Kels and Jay you guys are the masters. I believe that there is nothing you guys can't do together. ROCK STARS. Love you Two.
I’m sat in an ambulance in rural Wales, crying.
Aww ❤️❤️ I bet it's beautiful there!!
You van builders are angels here on earth… Thankyou for caring and having a heart. What a blessing ❤️🙏🏻☮️
Thank you so so much for doing this for Caleb oh my gosh. So many disabled people spend their lives in the same place day after day. This is so awesome ❤❤❤
You Guys are AWESOME!! HIS REACTION AT THE END WAS BEAUTIFUL!! I WISH THEM SAFE HAPPY FUN TRAVELS 🙏 THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!! GOD BLESS🙏❤
His reaction melted our hearts 🥰❤️
Thank you! ❤
I am watching this and the tears are flowing. This was so beautiful, and wonderful. All 3 of them can experience travel, which Im sure is long overdue
I have a son with Autism, who will always live with us and my husband and I have always been limited in travel because of how he gets overestimulated and just loves the comfort of home. Something like this would give us the ability to travel and still make him comfortable. Jay and Kels, you guys are absolute angels
Love is love is love. Sending gratitude and love from me and my beautiful 87 year old mom in N Palm Beach!❤❤❤☕❤
Thank you for making a dream come true for that family. There are families everywhere who have similar situations but still dream. God bless you for using your talents for His glory.
Wow! Best parents in the whole world ❤
The fact that they are still married and obviously still love each other, after having a child with disabilities says a lot. That is a marriage breaker for a lot.
Btw: we do have a rainy season and a dry season. Dry season, you can go months with barely a drop of rain!
The love and care for him is the reason he still here. Those 2 big hearts keeps his heart happy and strong. And to take him traveling and seeing places he never seen is just mind blowing. I know he is so full of joy. I pray and wish blessing and happiness upon you all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤
How absolutely wonderful of the two of you to do this for this family!!!
Two great parent who love their child. God bless you three.
Thank you! ❤
As a disabled person myself, this is brilliant and love to see people wanting to help others with their disability
And this will make a huge difference, not just for a family, but the person itself ❤
A very noble build. Outstand professional work Kels & Jay! I think we all know this is more for the parents than Caleb, but regardless everyone wins! Enjoy your outings and scenery.
Two amazing couples, coming together for one another and Caleb. Talented people building out the van so Caleb can go places his body can't take him and his parents wanting him to see the world beyond his room make for truly incredible humans everyone can learn from.
The van build is beautiful, and it's going to allow three wonderful people the trip of a lifetime, and they all deserve it! ❤
Wow, being a similar age to their son I was crying happy tears and did not expect such an emotional reaction. So happy he can now get out and experience the world, what amazing determined parents who never give up on their son.
What I have always said... while bodies betray these kids... their minds still grow... still learn... still know. This is such an improvement in his life. Enjoy Caleb.... and what a wonderful mom and dad you have... Special needs kids... they are the best.
Thank you! ❤
OMG I came across your video purely by accident and I am so grateful that I did. Your efforts to build a very unique home away from home for this family was truely inspiring. You did an amazing job with the inside of the van but it's why you chose to do this build that makes you both so special. You have picked up a new subscriber for sure. I absolutely loved what you were able to do for this family.
There aren't two better people to have given their all with such a build. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
This has to be so hard for them but with this van they can go wherever they want with their son that they love so much. To have parents like this is just what Jesus gave to him. You are the best. God bless both of you.
Kels you and Jay are 2 very special people, you always seem to give more than what you want, I believe anyone that has met the two of you are better off in their lives then you can ever hope for. You have a beautiful heart don't let anyone tell you different.
Aww thank you so much ❤️❤️
💖Amazingly awesome. Caleb for the strength of mind, body and spirit to prove the doctors wrong.Mum and Dad (Tammy and Scott) for being equal to Calebs strengths, (and then some!💖🙏💖) Kels and Jay,your passion and commitment just above and beyond..You have made what some would think an impossible dream come true😍🙏😍Thankyou ✨️🎵✨️🎵✨️💖✨️💕✨️
Another brilliant example of selfless people. Enjoy your journey Caleb. Kels and Jay, how special are you! Go and adventure!
What a beautiful story... may Tammy, Scott and Caleb have adventures and see beautiful places they never thought theyd get to have and see. ❤❤
Thank you Kels & Jay for doing this for them. ❤
watching the care and thoughtfulness of you two is humbling, honestly. Im so glad they found you and I am so proud to be your friend :)
Aww shucks Chuck! Thanks for the kind words, we miss you buddy ❤️
Your hard work and compassion is truly inspiring. Thank you for helping Caleb and his family. Also, the way the mother and son looked at each other had me in tears 😭. Daily news is full of so many horrific stories of abuse of vulnerable people and animals, but seeing this is what restores my faith in humanity.
I used to think you guys were kinda corny … “meh” at best. I was so wrong. You guys f-ing ROCK! 🥰
This is so wonderful that you built this for Caleb and his family. God bless you all.
Scott and Tammy are terrific parents! Kels and Jay, you and your friends did a phenomenal job! The van’s magnificent! I’m glad the build was so meaningful. I love how you included Caleb and his parents and how you brought your cats, brought a Valentine’s Day gift for Caleb, and how yo pushed your love of cats onto Caleb. Thank you. ❤️
Such an amazing story! So many families have this struggle. My son is home mostly homebound because of the lack of vehicle accessibility. His physical needs and the high cost of make it impossible. I am glad to know it is possible for a van to be modified in such a way! ❤❤❤❤
OMG!!!!!!!! THIS is what I wanted to do with some of "my people". Oh WOW....... sooo damn happy this has been done and praying that it will be an amazing journey for all three of you!!!!!! YES!!
Gracias porque todavía hay bondad en la humanidad y amor al prójimo, Gracias Gracias Gracias por Existir y buena Ventura para ustedes y para la bella familia ❤❤❤
Back in the 1960's, some town people had a weekend place out on the bay where we lived. They had a son who had this affliction. He had a purple dune buggy they bought for him to be rode around in because it gave him a lot of pleasure. He outlived both of his parents and passed away a couple of years after they did when he was 55 years old.
Respect,most high continue blessing those hands
Wow… just wow! In awe of all the love from all of you! Y’all did something beautiful for a beautiful family. Be proud of this one guys ❤
There are some truly GOOD people in this world--all of these folks are among them.
You all are soooooo awesome!! GOD BLESS you. 🙏❤❤💘💘💘
I pray that someone that is watching this video will be able to finance all of your gifts of love building these awesome vehicles to help people all over the world.
Calab,is truly seeing life in a new light!!😭 How incredible grateful they must be feeling! Enjoy your new journey!! Thank you, to all that made this journey possible!
Who says there are no angels on earth. Blessings to you. And blessings to Caleb and his family. ❤❤❤
Kels & Jay words can't express your magnanimous van build for Caleb and his loving parents
❤❤❤❤❤
Kels and Jay, y'all are the awesomenest of awesome people. I just stumbled across this video, and I seriously had tears stinging my eyes because of the love for this family that y'all showed. Your attention to detail was so touching. Thank you for all of your hard work.
What beautiful soul these two parents are taking care and loving their son❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You two are so gifted and have hearts of gold. Each new episode and project warms our hearts. I'm not sure how you can top this one. You are a blessing to the people whose projects you work on, as well as us who watch. You are making a difference in the life of the people you touch.
The best story ever, Kels & Jay the most unselfish people out there. Hats off to you both. ❤ From Boston
The look on Caleb’s face as he looked out on the water ❤❤❤
This is life changing for all 3. What Caleb first sees is probably a first for the parents.
What a thoughtful and beautiful gift you made for this family. Well done all 🎉
You two are very gifted builders with amazing hearts❤ …but the real hero’s in this story is Caleb’s parents, what amazing humans these people are, they are truly saints! Bring the world to Caleb is speechless and should bring tears to everyone ❤❤
They really are the absolute best!!
I cannot imagine a more deserving family! ❤ Wow! Incredible people.
I am in tears, mostly to see such good, good that is so needed in this world! TY !
Absolutely incredible! How lucky are they to have you guys help them. Made me cry
I am in tears God Bless the lovely couple that done this beautifull van for all 3 of you i pray you will have a beautifull happy life together and enjoy every day with your lovely son
With tears rolling down my face, I can only say GOD BLESS YOU BOTH for what you two have done for this family...AND GOD BLESS THIS LOVING FAMILY what a picture of unconditional LOVE!! ❤❣️
Thank u young couple. I pray that Caleb realizes in his own way, he is loved and knows what was done for him.❤❤
Kels & Jay, you've built something truly special. Thank you for allowing us to play a small part in Caleb's story.
Caleb, Tammy, and Scott, thank you for sharing your dream with us. Your story and courage are truly inspiring.
Thanks for being the best company and supporting their dream ❤️❤️
Thank you for your support!❤
What an amazing adventure!❤Lucky Caleb for having parents who are willing and able, thanks to the van builders, to explore the planet. I took my friend on a bucket list journey shortly before she died. It was a lot of work but so rewarding to see her enjoy the ocean, trees, wind blowing on the grasses…We spent time at hospitals along the way but that enabled us to keep going, She loved the planet so much and was so grateful to go…I will bet that Caleb is in awe!!! Hope it goes well❤
This was SO beautiful to watch❤ The love and care that the parents have for their son.... and the heart, soul and care the builders have for the family....is fantastic!❤ I love the fact that this was possible!!❤
What a blessing, thank GOD for wonderful PARENTS
I look after my handicapped sister and her favourite place is in the tuff port traveling and camping .. it’s tiny but we get to see and enjoy life …
So I’m so happy when I watched this… make the memories together… live and live life… cheers
That's beautiful, thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
Caleb seems like he is a very special young man. I hope that you'll have smooth sailing
I have missed you guys so much. Happy to see you back doing videos. You guys do a great job on building vans. You should not give it up. Safe travels to the family.
You 2 are the best. ❤
We missed you guys too!❤️
Kels and Jay, you are remarkable and inspirational. Watching your carpentry and creativity skillfully done took me to the time of Jesus, and how He humbly improved lives via His carpentry skills. He said He was meek and humble of heart, and I see that in you, and your selfless partner. God's blessings so profound, and I'm so grateful for this video capture of goodness. A wonderful work of mercy. God bless you always.
Thank you for persevering and making this family a van that will change their lives.
i swear a little kindness can move mountains.
Wow all the new things Caleb gets to see, smell, hear, how wonderful is that for him? Also, mom and dad get to experience the same and so much more. They still have the daily loving care for Caleb but they get to live a lot of life together the 3 of them. All the new memories... Just wow!
Thank you for the couple who built the van for Caleb. He looks so happy to see the beautiful ocean. Also thank you for taking care of Caleb. I couldn’t believe that he’s 29 years old. Wow! Keep him up. ❤❤❤ 🤟🏻😊
What an incredible skill to share with others!!! Having just finished a two year trip with kids, just being around flowing water, moving trees, seeing sunrises and sunsets in different places, it impacts us all! Love that you shared all of your gifts in this build and this video! ❤❤❤
We always hear about sad stories o rude and violent stories, thank God angels exist, they have a huge ❤
God bless them all
Hugs from italy 🇮🇹❤️
I can't even believe how much your journey is helping others ❤ Keep being beyond awesome you two! Love and miss your faces!
Honourable job you two did for the family of Kaleb....❤
There are no words. You've changed three lives in an immeasurably positive way. 😭💛
They changed our lives too!
Wow!! You two are amazing and a God send for this family! This build is amazing!
