<div>My name is Ben Saunders and I have a YouTube channel where we help those in need of a helping hand. Which brings me to Rick. We were clearing his garden for free when we saw the inside of his house … we were totally shocked. Rats had got in and done heavy damage, collapsed ceiling, pigeons in had been in his back room, no electricity in his kitchen, shower and sink are unusable and only having a portable heater in one room.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>See the moment we met Rick, cleared his garden and discovered how he is living..
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My dream is to get Rick’s house safe again and give him comfort and dignity in his later years. We’ve set a high target because we want to make sure every room is safe again. If we reach the full target then we can do the whole house, if we raise under the target then we will do as many rooms as possible and use our platform to try and get other donations and products to make sure that every penny goes as far as it can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We plan to surprise Rick with a 30 day stay at a hotel. During this time we will completely renovate the house and he can return to a safe, clean, and dignified home. We will release weekly videos to keep you updated and so you can see exactly where the money goes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’d also love to make some homely touches and help Rick with day to day extras. Such as getting him some new clothes, wardrobe, drawers etc.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We also are looking into setting up a cleaner to come in weekly, to help him keep on top of things.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here's the plan:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Check Rick into a local hotel, that way he can pop back and see progress, he'll also be decluttering.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Then Clear the entire house onto to the lawn for him to decide what is staying or going.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Deep clean and sanitise of house, including pest control.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Re wire the house to make sure the electrics are safe, along with a plumbing team to sort out a new boiler, radiator and a shower/toilet downstairs. Future proofing things.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>The next part we don't know what surprises we will uncover, we will need to replaster before decorating. If we raise enough that funds are left over this will cover a cleaner/companion for the year. Extra funds could go towards help with exteriors repairs as we can see issues, from guttering/soffits/fascias, to the render. I will ago above and beyond, that's a promise!</strong>

</div>
<div><strong>The journey will be shared on my YouTube channel, Myself &amp; Ashley will not be taking any wage from this fund for the work we carry out on the project. We have also lined up discounts on materials in return for exposure which is great to stretch the money as far as possible. We will be receiving the funds in a dedicated separate account for distribution! In a dream world, if we complete all the work and fully renovate the house + sort after care for Rick (Cleaner for a year) we would use any additional funds to help the next person in need!</strong>
