Ever wonder what happens when a kid with a big heart and a mom who actually says yes team up to serve their community?
🎥 Filmed at Canon Coffee in Apopka — huge thanks to this warm and welcoming local spot for hosting our coffee and conversation!
Danielle Newbold is the Founder & CEO of Miles To Go, a nonprofit born in the front seat of a car when her then 9-year-old son, Miles, asked, “Why don’t we help him instead?”
From that moment, they launched a movement — one thoughtful bag at a time.
Today, they've distributed 12,000+ Miles To Go bags filled with essentials for people experiencing homelessness. But the real magic? The hand-signed card inside each bag reminds the recipient that they matter.
We talked about:
❤️ How a 4th-grade question sparked a nonprofit
🧼 Why socks, sunscreen, and toothpaste matter more than you think
🚐 Danielle’s dream to launch a "loud and random kindness bus" (and yes, she’s serious)
