SB Mowing’s heartwarming story has captivated millions, as Spencer, the face behind the brand, has once again demonstrated the power of kindness and community.
Known for his lawn transformations and philanthropic initiatives, Spencer’s latest project involves setting up a GoFundMe for an elderly woman named Beth that has already raised over $430k.
SB Mowing received a call from a friend in the city, alerting him to Beth’s plight. Her lawn had become overgrown to the point of attracting city warnings and fines. Unable to afford the $240 fee to have her lawn mowed, Beth was at a loss. Enter Spencer. He didn’t just mow her lawn—he completely transformed it, leaving Beth in tears of gratitude.
“She’s been trying to get someone out to take care of it, but nobody was answering their phones,” Spencer explained. “I couldn’t let her go through this alone.”
A few months later, SB Mowing shared the video of Beth’s lawn makeover on his social media platforms, where it quickly gained traction. Spencer's followers were so moved by Beth’s story that they urged him to start a fundraiser to help address her other challenges. Spencer listened.
Through GoFundMe, he launched a campaign with the goal of not only maintaining her lawn but also improving her quality of life. According to SB mowing, the funds raised will be put to good use addressing several critical needs:
- A Ramp: To replace the stairs at her front door, making it easier for Beth to move in and out of her home.
- A New Driveway: Her current driveway is broken and poses a significant tripping hazard.
- A Chair Lift: To help her access her washer and dryer in the basement, eliminating her reliance on neighbors for laundry.
- Lawn Maintenance: A professional service will take care of her yard for years to come.
- Broken Windows: If funds allow, these will be repaired to improve her home’s safety and comfort.
- A New Bed: One that is more accessible and better suited to her needs.
Here's a video that Spencer posted on his SB Mowing YouTube account that has garnered more than a million views in 2 days.
