The 21 year old son, Michael Prince Jackson II, is following in his Pop’s philanthropic footsteps. As he continues his collegiate pursuits at Loyola Marymount College in Los Angeles, CA, he’s also wasted no time striking up his non-profit organization, “Heal Los Angeles.”
The organization has been in existence since 2016 and Prince ain’t afraid to hit the streets of L.A. to hand deliver much needed necessities to the homeless, along with his team of volunteers. It’s a beautiful thing to witness and it’s also a great representation of the grounded young man his fam’ has cultivated him into.
In an Instagram post, Prince revealed how his organization has teamed up with another to help homeless women and children in dire need of life’s most basic necessities:

princejackson- A child should never have the burden of sleeping on the floor and let alone sleep without a pillow and a blanket. Today’s youths are important as ever because they are the next generation to help lead us to a better and safer world. My organization @heallosangeles has partnered up with @asenseofhomeorg and we are providing a new decorative home for a special family. Items like: bed, couch, pillows, blankets, and kitchen equipment are just some things we need to buy. We still need to purchase other items as well. We need your help by donating to our website and you can donate by clicking the link in my Instagram bio. Thanks to everyone who has already donated!
In a recent acceptance speech for winning the ‘Youth Advocacy’ award at the Motif Awards, Prince explained his reasons for starting Heal Los Angeles:
Stating that he and his friend, John, were inspired to help people in their hometown of L.A., because “we see SO many people our age and younger that were homeless, due to aging out of the foster system, or for unstable support systems back at home.”
He went on to explain how his dad, MJ, was the inspiration behind it all. “My father did a lot of great things with his life, but his biggest passion was helping others. I learned how important it was from him…that we help others and care for our fellow man. We called the foundation ‘Heal LA’ to further his goal and his cause for ‘Heal The World’ Foundation.”
Prince Checks Fan For Disrespect
Prince honors his Pops in more ways than one on the daily. Another thing we dig about him is that despite his generous heart, one thing he won’t do, is allow folks to disrespect him, nor his daddy. We’ve seen him stand up for himself to haters on several occasions and his dad’s 60th birthday in August 2018, was no different. Here’s what happened when a hater tried to tell Prince how he should have honored his daddy on his b-day:
Via EOnline– “It’s your dad’s birthday,” the user wrote. “Expecting a post from you for him.”
Ultimately, Prince decided to share the message and his own note with his 500,000 plus followers.
“If you expect anything from me you will get nothing. I see a plethora of ignorant messages like this on a daily basis. This is my account that is public to everyone and I will use it as I see fit,” he wrote. “If you’d like to see birthday posts for my dad look at what I’m tagged in.”
Prince continued, “I chose to honor him in a different, intimate, and personal way. Also for future reference ignorance like this will be posted and blocked. So think before you speak.”
And boom! Well said Prince. Drops mic, exits stage left.
