Operating primarily in Wichita, Kansas, Spencer often receives recommendations from local residents about lawns requiring care. Many of these situations come with touching stories that explain why the homeowners struggle to manage their yards.

“After receiving a call from a friend at the city about Beth’s situation, I decided to visit her home. Upon arrival, I was shocked to see her lawn had grown wildly out of control,” Spencer recounted. “She had been trying to find help, but no one was responding to her requests. The city had issued her a warning about the overgrown grass and was prepared to charge her $240 for lawn care, a fee she simply couldn’t afford. I completely transformed her lawn at no cost, and seeing her happiness brought her to tears.”
Community Support: SB Mowing Raises Over $542K
Following Spencer’s heartfelt gesture, the TikTok post received an astounding 83 million views, sparking overwhelming interest from viewers eager to support Beth further. Recognizing the urgent need for additional assistance, Spencer launched a GoFundMe campaign aimed at enhancing Beth’s homestead with accessibility improvements.

After SB Mowing completed the work on her property, Beth expressed her gratitude, saying, “Your work makes me twinkle.” With this support, she now has the opportunity to enjoy a living environment that exceeds her expectations and enhances her quality of life.
