He provides free lawn care for the elderly, disabled, single moms, and veterans.

He uses social media to find people in each state.

What an inspiring man. Wow, I'm blown away by this guy.

He's not making any money but he is doing a good deed for disabled, elderly, etc. I wonder if he takes tips?

Doubt it, since the whole reason he's doing this is to help people who have no money, sick people......etc.

I think people give him donations, though, so he can stay in motels at night after he mows.....

But aside from that.........................

AGAIN!!!

CBS News....

Smith says he pre-plans where he is going to stop in each

state. "Before I started the tour, I showed people which

city in each state I was going to, and asked if they could

submit lawns of disabled people, single moms, vets,

whoever needed their lawn mowed for free." People can

submit suggestions for Smith on his website.

"If I don't have enough [requests in an area], I go

on Facebook or Twitter and say, 'I'm here, does anyone

know a disabled person, single mom, vet, whose lawn

needs to be cut?"

He says his social media pages have been the best tool

for the charity. He updates them often with photos from his

travels.

He says the lawn care company Briggs and Stratton

helped sponsor his trip across the U.S. and gave him a

new mower for the journey. "I also have supporters that

sponsor my rooms, and meet up with me, and give me

gas cards."
