The first episode of the series features 11 year old Jeffrey Lopez Jr., founder of Jeffrey's Hope, born with spina bfida, one kidney, rocker feet and no bottom, who relies on a wheelchair for navigation. Jeffrey's mission is to build a Universal Playground in his hometown of Corona, California, where able bodied and disabled body people of all ages can play together.  The City of Corona's Parks and Recreation Commission is now fundraising for $1 million dollars to build a Universal Playground. The Carter Lay Charitable Fund kicked off the fundraising campaign by being the first to donate and is fully financing the production of the "Do Good Mob" as his team travels the world to uncover stories to share with the world further highlighting Carter's mission of raising awareness and funds for non-profits.

"Jeffrey has so much to offer, he's such a little man and takes everything so well and is always so happy, you can't help but want to help," said Carter Lay, whose grandfather Herman founded the Frito-Lay company. 

In the Jeffery Hope episode, "The Do Good Mob" bring together a mob of people to help Jeffrey, including West Coast Customs CEO Ryan Friedinglaus and his team, City of Corona Mayor Karen Spiegel and her council members, police, firefighters, teachers, family, friends, supporters. This touching and emotional episode is full of surprises for Jeffrey including gifting the hard working boy with a one of a kind pimped out wheelchair designed by West Coast Customs and Colours Wheelchair. Producers surprise Jeffrey at Buena Vista Park in Corona with a large gathering of supporters all there to honor the boy and Carter Lay opens up the surprise with the mayor announcing an initiative to build a Universal Playground along with surprise visits from the Corona Police and Fire Departments. "Us as adults need to take a look at how a little kid can inspire so many of us," shared City of Corona Mayor Karen Spiegel. Rapper Andre Legacy was brought in to voice over the episode.

"Recently Carter Lay and Crystal Fambrini came to me with a vision to help share the untold stories of the non-profit world and efforts to make the world a better place. We immediately knew we were going to distribute the series on YouTube because it was the best way to reach and engage with a global audience and within we transformed a vision into a reality. You don't get the chance in Hollywood that much to work on a series that impacts so many others in a positive way and I am beyond honored to have had the opportunity to be involved. I can't wait to share the stories of so many of the other non-profits we are working with," said David Beebe.
