Jahkil was 5 when his aunt took him and his cousin to feed the homeless in Chicago. he was immediately stunned that there were still people who didn't have basic necessities to survive. He immediately set up shop to create blessing bags, bags filled with basic toiletries, to give hope to the unfortunate. Since then, he's given over 50,000 bags to those experiencing homelessness, and through those efforts, was crowned one of President Obama's three most influential people at age 13, a CNN Young Heroes Award, and even recognized as a Marvel superhero!
