Our Story
Life was lifeing for the Daniels family. Raising six kids in Los Angeles meant facing the high cost of living, the fear of homelessness, transportation struggles, and financial pressure that never seemed to let up. Even in those hard times, the family held on to giving back and creating hope for others.
Then came a life-changing moment. After appearing on The Ellen Show for the third time in 2018, the family was given the biggest gift in the show’s history: one million dollars. With $500,000 they were able to rebuild stability and work toward being self-sufficient. With the other $500,000, they gave back to deserving people and organizations who needed it most.
That moment sparked the birth of the Do Good Daniels Family Foundation. Since then, the mission has been clear: to Do Good, Be Good, and Spread Good through programs in housing, mentorship, wellness, and education. What started as one family’s struggle has grown into a movement helping thousands find stability, growth, and hope.
We empower youth and families to Be Good. Do Good. Spread Good. by providing relationship-centered programs and an interconnected ecosystem of services. Through housing, economic empowerment, education, and holistic care, we equip individuals and communities to thrive.
A future where youth are at the center of a strong, supportive ecosystem—where families are stable, communities are thriving, and young people are building careers, businesses, and legacies.
At the heart of this vision is the Do Good Hub in Long Beach, our anchor and permanent space where the seeds of good are planted and ripple outward to transform lives and communities.
