Heal Los Angeles was founded in 2016 as a student service organization at Loyola Marymount University by co-founders John Muto and Prince Jackson. Inspired by the philanthropic efforts of the late Michael Jackson, they sought to address the needs of underserved communities in their hometown of Los Angeles, California. They recruited 25 other students to join their cause.

With a mission to end homelessness, child abuse, and hunger in Los Angeles, Heal LA embarked on a number of initiatives to serve those in need. Over the course of five semesters, Heal LA raised over $150,000 for those in need, supporting various local charities and initiatives. Their efforts have had a significant impact on the Los Angeles community, helping to alleviate poverty, hunger, and homelessness.
