Daniel and Josh of “Damn, Daniel” fame birthed a meme that exploded overnight. Suddenly, these two Inland Empire teens were famous. That fame, and Daniel’s appreciation for white Vans, led to an appearance on Ellen where Daniel was given a lifetime supply of Vans among other things.
However, it seems that Daniel and Josh aren’t the kind of kids to take fame and exploit it solely for personal gain. The teens partnered with Vans and Loma Linda Children’s Hospital to visit sick kids there and give away a hundred pairs of shoes.
It’s nice to see stuff like this, especially the smiling faces of everyone involved. Check out more pics below.
