I've bought the song - even though I'm broke and surviving on disability benefit. The thing is, I have a roof over my head and Toby doesn't. I hope his music career is a HUGE success xxxxxxxxx
You just cannot predict how life turns out. I just hope Toby finds somewhere to live and 'pay it forward' ....by helping someone else out when he's got a home xxxx
Sometimes I just get reminded how much of a beautiful family you are...you do youtube for nothing and spend hours editing and filming for us. You don't care about whether people are rich or poor, homeless or not, and you treat everyone with complete respect...you helping Toby in a way other people would never do, shows how amazing you all are. I'm so glad you stay true to who you are and youtube doesn't change that. it's weird how I've been watching you for 3 years now and I feel like I somehow know you, GOOD LUCK ON THE NEW BABY❤️ (I think it's a girl) xx
Respect Respect how do you know that? Everyone will be making videos if it was that easy to make money on RU-vid! These guys work so hard and it definitely shows in their videos (unlike so many other RU-vid videos)
Respect Respect anyways they have adressed that and said that most of the money from RU-vid goes to paying for the music rights, that's why they have great music on each vlog (:
Respect Respect: The Michalaks do not make money off of their videos in the way most other RU-vidrs do because they do not use royalty free music. Of course their sponsored videos make money. They don't pretend to be poor, but they also COULD be making a lot more. They care about the quality of their videos, which is obvious by each vlog's beauty. They aren't out for views. Just the fact that they used their platform to help Toby is a testament to their character. "They don't do this out of the goodness of their hearts lol."...Interesting username, Respect Respect.
I am so sad about Widgey :( my mum runs a lost and found pets group where I live and said to share with you to follow some of these tips to help him get home! Pour the contents of your vacuum on your lawn. Hang some of your dirty/worn clothes on your line. Leave something of his or yours strongly scented by your front and back door. If he has a litter tray put it outside it may help him smell his way back home is basically the gist of all of the above! Sorry if you already tried these, just thought I'd share incase they help :) have a great week guys :)
What you guys are trying to do for Toby is so beyond sweet; the perfect example of using your platform for a good cause. Lovely vlog as always but even lovelier because of this :)
Hey! I filmed Toby and his band a couple of months ago before all this happened, so sad to hear everything that went down but if you'd like to see them perform i'm a tree or their other song EZtoPLZ then check out facebook.com/GardenSessionsOfficial/ and it's on there! Hope he gets back on his feet and love the vlogs!
I'm beyond honoured to hear my music over these wonderful films of yours. Especially considering this one is partly about helping out another musician. Fantastic job as usual!
I'd like to share a little bit here if that's ok, last year like Toby I too was homeless and relied on the kindness of other people I'm very thankful and lucky that I had good friends at the time who looked after me until I got back on my feet. I've watched you guys for years now and I leave a comment on most videos saying how much I enjoyed it but this is above and beyond, seeing you guys make the choice to help him out and listen to him without judging or criticising is truly truly amazing and it truly warms my heart just the sheer size of your generosity. Thank you for being such wonderful people x
Bloody hell steph, this is my third comment and I never comment! What you've done for this man is so generous. I can't even put into words how happy this has made me and no doubt him! I can't wait to buy his song x
Hey Stef. Humbled by your actions with Toby. Another way to boost Toby's song is to perhaps submit to BBC RADIO ONE introducing for your area. Could get him the publicity he well and truly deserves.
I´ve just bought the song. It is so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes... You are such a sweetheart, Stef! You are an inspiration - in so many ways! Thank you!
I love the fact that you willing to help people out that need it! What you have done for Toby is amazing and so inspiring! I have so much love for your family ❤
Homeless he may be. But boy does he already have the X Factor. That's star quality. Rock star quality right there. Right there in your sitting room. No cheesey backing singers or special stage effects. Just one man and his raw talent. Well discovered Stef. He's doing you the favour 😉xxxxx
That first shot and what you guys have done for Toby in such a dignified and amazing way so his talent can be heard is amazing. All of the respect and love to you all xx
His music is right up my lane ! I love what you are doing for him !! This made my day, recently I volunteered at a place for a day where homeless people can come for a meal and help if they need anything. Its so important to help each individual as much as you possibly can. Love this
Even with all the words in the dictionary theres not one that can describe what you have done for Toby. I don't think I have ever known anyone do such an amazing kind thing like you have. Grayson is so lucky to have you and Hannah as such amazing and inspiring role models and baby on the way is damn lucky too. What you did for Toby really touched me, I do a lot of work for disabled children in Cambodia and watching someone help someone in the UK really reminds me that there are still good people in this world. As a family you guys are amazing and as individuals you are extraordinary. Thank you for sharing your life with us, introducing us to so much that we wouldn't have done without you. Enjoy your week off and prepare for the beautiful little baby x
You guys taking creating an ad to the next level, and your basement looks so cute and cozy, you did a great job with it! Also I did download Toby's song and would love an update on how he's doing.
stupidly hormonal + watching this about Toby = in floods of tears i feel so proud to be a viewer of such an amazing family who does such little random acts of kindness for others the song is awesome, hope each download helps toby
Toby's music is beautiful and I hope his music career is a huge success. What an amazing thing to do Stef. I have downloaded his song (more for the fact that is actually really good) and this has restored my faith in people a little bit on this dreary Sunday afternoon.I never comment but I just really wanted to say how much this has got to me- what an inspirational and kind thing to do. I hope this act of kindness creates ripples. x
I so want to be your mate Stef....you are the epitome of a great, well rounded human being. It's all man love from me! The family room looks wonderful. Enjoy your week off and make sure Hannah gets some extra rest.
Time stops. Your videos are so enrapturing, it honestly makes me feel like time stops to allow me to enjoy the half hour or so every Sunday. Your capability to beautifully allow us to be as close as flies on the wall to your life is truly outstanding. Thank you for all that you do and all that you are as a family. Beautiful
Song bought- what a mad society we live in, an artist like Toby left to struggle on the streets, offering the gift of his music to the people who pretend to be blind, they don't see the musician, but they hear his words, his chords, his passion- and they take it for free, and he keeps on playing. Thank you for giving us a chance to help someone who deserves the joy, because he has already brought joy to my world with his music x
What you did for Toby is so inspiring. You are an incredible role model for your son and new child. This is just the reassurance I need that there are still good people in the world. Ps: I hope widgey turns up ❤️
Sup Guys, We've been watching your vids for a little while now and I think you guys edits are insane and I love your transparency on camera. The Intro to this particular episode is off the chain!! Much love guys and all the best....The Grimwade Family xx
As an early years practitioner student in training I am all for the dulux inhabited play campaign! 'Play is a child's work' as a great child theorist once said. Making mess is fun and tidying mess up can be equally as fun! I think ALOT of parents are hesitant of letting children make mess because of the tidying up factor. Tidying can be a game it doesn't have to be boring for both adult and child and end in tantrums from both adult and child. Fully support the dulux ad! Good luck with the home birth!❤
What an amazing thing you have done for Toby 💕 I have purchased the song & wish him the best of luck for the future! Love you guys! By far my favourite youtubers 😊

What you have done for Toby is inspiring Stef. It makes me want to do better whenever I see a homeless person! It also proves that the world isn't full of awful people as the media sometimes portrays so thank you for that! Loved this vlog! And that intro! 😍😍😍 As soon as I saw that I knew it would be an amazing vlog!
So loved Toby and bought the song as a present for my muso son. We must get behind these gifted people who can bring such richness to a somewhat dull old day. I gather Widgey isn't back home yet. xxx and nearly x.
Bit of a random one for Hannah x Your confidence in yourself and being a mum inspires me in the aspect that I struggle to just relax in public with my kids x I'm currently at a park all on my own with my 2 (6 yr girl 2yr boy) because of you x norMally il go home and create something fun to do x I would love it if you could do a video on mummy adventures in public if it interests you any tips and advice etc x enjoy your time off 💕
What a wonderful thing to do for Toby! I'm sure he will remember you for the rest of his life. I bought the song and gave a little donation, really nice song and would love to hear more from him. I can't wait to see your family dynamic change as a new little one joins :) praying you're going to film the labour and birth, but I can imagine I won't stop crying if you do 😂
Stef, you'we done it again. If this video had only the first shot....it would be worth it. And then Toby. ❤ Have a week off. That baby has picked a very special duo for parents, lucky. 👌
Your weekly videos are so worth the wait 💕💕💕 Also what camera do you guys use ??? I can't see it in the description ?? Please reply Your videos give me goosebumps everytime! I hope he gets a place to live soon! I'm going to buy the song as it's so fucking beautiful and Stef you filmed and documented this perfectly! And I loved that you introduced a stranger / character into this vlog with such meaning and everything! I really hope he gets a roof over his head soon! Stef you should make a gofundme page for him! Also I love that you are still vegan xxx
Before watching this I was sat here (eating my cheesey pasta) thinking f**k I only have £130 to last me the rest of this month. You guys have totally just put things into perspective. What you and your family do, Stef is admirable. I have so much more than Toby (other than has talent...I certainly don't have that). I hope everyone joins me and buys his song. I would love if you could keep us updated on his journey xx PS. Come home Widgey
Stef.. 10/10 man. I don't usually comment but I felt compelled to do so. I love your genuine intention for this guy. So unlike those self centred, glory hunting morons who film themselves 'feeding the homeless' etc. My dad works with the homeless so I'm fairly aware of some individuals situations. Thanks for being such a good egg in such a big, bad scary world. Sending love to you all from Edinburgh. ❤
Thanks for sharing your platform Michalaks! You make being a viewer feel like such a privilege, I'm so proud to be a part of this little community :) And that opening shot was amazing, way to go the both of you :)
Hi Michalaks! I am usually a silent viewer but what you've done for Toby is incredibly touching I just needed to comment. I have been watching your family for a few years now and your love for others and your ability to show true beauty in this world is incredibly inspiring. I've purchased Toby's song and wish him tons of success! Love from Canada.
Hello Hannah and Stef. I like Toby's song 'Tree' for its melody, but I must say I couldn't pick up the lyrics. It might be because English is not my first language, but I doubt that. Couldn't find the lyrics on internet either. I also listened to the other rendition on Facebook in Garden sessions. Also here I didn't get the words. Can I find the words of this song somewhere? Hope Toby will do well and your/our help will make a real difference. Thank you for again a beautiful and inspirational video.
Just when I thought I couldn't love you guys anymore! And the you do this ❤️ ive download the song I really love it, my style of music too, so happy you guys are having some rest you deserve it ✨ And to Toby, man the talent you have is amazing, I've been homeless before and I understand how your feeling just now, but I promise you it will get better, I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏻 xxx And I hope one day to see you busking I'm Glasgow xx
A few things, firstly, how good and kind of you to help Toby, I really hope that he is successful and gets off the streets, secondly you don't have to apologise for wanting a week off! Most people have holidays and don't apologise. And thirdly my son was a nightmare in the lead up to me having my daughter, he knew what was happening and it lasted about 4 months after she was born. But now it's all getting easier, also I think three year olds are just a pain!
amazing video michalaks, you guys are fantastic people, thank you for helping toby out, its things like that which inspire me to think bigger than my own self, and encourage me to think about what I can do for others rather than myself. Ps, that shot at the beginning blew my flipping mind stef, you should go pro, cheers mate
You know, it's utterly wonderful to see someone using their influence to help someone who needs it out, spreading kindness for no selfish gains. Really proud to be a viewer and will share Toby's work around. Also, the opening shot of this weeks vlogs was stunning!
Toby's story is humbling and your love and your act of kindness is the most amazing thing ever. I have been a silent viewer for years! I am always so scared to comment. But i want you guys to know how much your vlogs mean to me and i know they are a highlight of my week and many others!
7 лет назад
you are a very beautiful family ❤️️ this thing you do for toby is just amazing 🕊
So much love to you all for trying to help Toby 🖤🖤🖤 Small acts of kindness remind me that we have hope when I see some of the shitty stuff that went on this week xxx
I do hope I get to randomly meet you one day it's one thing typing the words 'I think your videos are legendary' but to see what that means to you that'd be cool
