Spencer runs SB Mowing in Wichita, Kansas. KWCH reported that he mows overgrown yards for free and raises money so neighbors can fix things in their homes. GoFundMe put him on its first Kind 50 list, a new list of people the company wanted to recognize. The mowing is free to the people whose yards he cuts. The money he raises is for their home repairs, which is a separate kind of help from the grass.
