Rodney Smith Jr., a college student, is the founder of Raising Men Lawn Care Service, a group of young men dedicated to helping the disabled, elderly, and single-parent families in their neighborhood of Huntsville, Alabama.

On a Facebook post that recently went viral, Smith speaks of this old lady, who said she was on a fixed income and just came out of the hospital, and therefore could not afford to have her lawn maintained.

The elderly woman, who was hooked up to medical equipment, told them how the neighbor currently mowing her lawn “harasses her for the payment.”
But luckily, the boys of Raising Men decided that from then on, they would be coming over to her house every two weeks to wack weeds and trim grass — all for free.

Smith said, “She can use the money on things that she really needs like medication.” What a standup guy!
This old lady is only one of many elderly individuals who, after paying all their medical fees, have little left of their monthly allowance to allow for such a luxury as lawn care service.

Thankfully, the people in Huntsville have this fine group of young men to turn to.
