We were so touched at the grocery store, and we said,
you know what?
She forgot an item.
I'm Robert.
And I'm Christi.
We believe in doing positive things for others.
Ellen took notice and did something
amazing for our family.
Oh my god!
So we're going to make every dollar count
by giving in big ways, changing lives and inspiring others
to pay it forward.
We're the Daniel's family, and these are acts of good.
We're on our way to see Carl, our family barber.
Hey!
What's going on, big head?
Carl is amazing to the community.
He has this non-profit no kid left uncut.
He comes over--
On his own.
And cut the boy's hair for free.
I understand that it's kind of hard sometimes
for the finances part.
So that's where I come in at.
You really, really helped us so much.
I grew up in foster care, and not
having enough when I was a kid, it always stuck with me.
So I always wanted to make sure I pay forward
and give back to the kids that is less fortunate than me.
What goes around, comes around.
We got us through.
Spreads his love.
Throughout the community.
Yeah.
I've been licensed for over 21 years, so I've said to myself,
I should pay forward a million free haircuts.
We've called it a million cuts of confidence.
How many have you done already?
A total of 6,078 haircuts.
Wow.
Yes.
And we are still moving.
We want to help him get to a million haircuts.
That's a lot of haircuts.
Now, you've got kids that come on the school bus.
I mean, is there any plans for it?
It looked like it can be a little fixed up a little bit.
OK, the whole thing is, Carl's bus is not going to make it.
OK?
What are you missing.
Pretty much right now is the finances,
so the kids can have books, you know what I'm saying?
Activities.
See I run the classroom inside the school bus, when
we doing grade for fades.
So if you got good grades, keeping it on track,
you get your free haircuts.
Can they do their homework in here, too?
Oh, yeah, that's why--
Oh my god.
No.
The dream would be a big old mobile unit.
We want to help you on this journey, Carl.
Don't do me like that.
No, we want to help you raise funds.
Like at least get this vision started.
A fund raiser barbecue.
That's going to be awesome.
This is all because of what you've been doing, buddy.
Yes.
We want to pay it forward to you with this barbecue.
For them to notice what I'm doing
in giving back to the community, it makes me feel awesome.
It makes me really feel and know that God is good
and then change is coming.
I have an idea.
Instead of barbecue, we can call it the barber-cue.
[LAUGHTER] Oh, that's a good idea.
I was really thinking about the raising money part.
I have a better idea.
Like what?
We got this money.
Let's just buy him a mobile vehicle.
Now this got to be like the ultimate surprise.
Let's just do it.
We're here at Ralph's in Hawthorne,
you guys, and we're about to go surprise some lucky shoppers.
Are these your babies?
Yes.
Hi, man.
Hi.
We're the Daniels family.
And we want to pay for your groceries today.
We want to pay for your groceries.
Can we do that for you?
And we have four boys.
Double.
So we know how--
I have four boys.
You have four boys?
We want to pay for your groceries today.
It was super important for us to go to the grocery store
and pay it forward.
Groceries are not getting any cheaper.
We would like to bless everyone in line,
and pay for the groceries, if that's OK with you.
[CHEERING]
Imagine somebody saying, I'm taking care of your groceries
for the day.
Regardless of what we're going through,
there's always somebody out there that's just--
Struggling even worse.
Struggling worse.
And now it's like we're on a whole other scale
with having $500,000 to pay it forward, that's just amazing.
Just going to create this chain of people paying it forward
and just being kind.
And it all comes back around.
Bye!
Enjoy!
Bridgette is someone we met at the grocery store.
She had four boys.
We can relate to her.
We could relate.
And we wanted to do more to help Bridgette.
We were so touched at the grocery store.
You know, your heart went out, and you just started crying.
And we said, you know what?
She forgot an item.
Oh!
Cheerios.
Yes.
It's not Cheerios.
On the behalf of the Daniels family, with $5,000.
I feel so excited.
I'm just so, so grateful for this.
But money is going to do a lot for my family,
and we really need it right now, so I'm very grateful.
All I could think about this summer
was like, what am I going to do for my kids.
My oldest son needs tutoring, and I couldn't really
afford it.
[CRYING]
Groceries was amazing, this is like--
ah!
This is such a blessing.
Like you have no idea.
Oh, we do.
We have something of an idea.
I can't believe it.
I need to pinch myself.
So today is the barber-cue.
There's going to be dancing, food, entertainment.
People getting their hair cut.
It's going to be a fun day.
Looking out in the barbecue we saw Michael Young.
My mom.
The sisters, the Watts.
Girls that we sent to prom and so many familiar faces.
Like it's just so warm.
We are going to give Carl his mobile barbershop,
and he has no idea.
But we told him that it's a fundraiser to raise money
for his mobile barber shop.
But actually, this is just--
Already done.
Done deal.
It actually feels pretty good to be given
so much love from everybody.
Let me know they was going to help me out,
all I was was floored.
I've been waiting for some help.
This young man that we've done this, or put on this event for,
he's very special.
When I didn't have not a dollar to pay this man, he was there.
Give it up for our barber, Carl.
[CHEERING]
Yeah, I got some love for him.
I wouldn;t be fresh without him.
Carl, when we start to find out about the organization
that you have, No Kids Left Uncut,
it was almost like a no brainer.
You were so impactful in our lives,
and we said, what can we do?
We was going to fix your bus up.
You cut out the bus, we were going to fix your bus.
And you know how your bus is.
We just decide to go ahead and get you a new mobile unit.
Your own mobile unit, bro.
When I seen the mobile unit pull up, oh, man.
It was just so exciting.
I was just lost for words, you know what I'm saying?
Just ooh.
[CHEERING]
So the mobile barbershop has everything.
The barber chair, and the whole barber area,
like a waiting area.
A desk for kids to do homework, a whole bookshelf with books
and cabinets with supplies and it's just
fully stocked with everything Carl would need.
I feel like a kid in a candy store, you know?
It was-- it was just, I wanted to see
how it looked in the inside.
It just-- it was just--
you just see it, it's like wow.
Look, look.
On a mission to provide one million free haircuts.
Oh my god.
I want to thank you them for believing in me.
And believing in my mission to donate a million free haircuts,
and allowing me to donate back to the community.
[CRYING]
To help me.
I want to thank them for helping me donate back
to the community.
I feel absolutely amazing.
(SINGING) It's a good day.
Like, who gets to say that you were able to give away
a half a million dollars?
To just people who are doing good, or people in need.
That is something that we would never forget.
It's a good day.
It's just a once in a lifetime opportunity,
and we're just so grateful.
It has changed our lives forever.
(SINGING) It's a good day.
