In 2015, Mr. Cullen formed Hope for the Hurting as a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization with a mission to assist the less fortunate among us and provide a foundation for people to improve their lives. With the help of several generous donors, Hope for the Hurting, which started with a single location in Los Angeles, has expanded to multiple locations in both Californian and Indiana.
The charity now has four facilities that serve men and woman who struggle with mental illness and/or drug and alcohol addiction. These facilities provide housing, food and varying levels of counseling and medical services to assist the clients. In addition, the charity through its Strike Out Against Drugs program, actively speaks to children in school settings throughout the Los Angeles area. The goal is to persuade children to avoid a pathway which leads to the experimentation and use of alcohol and drugs SOAD has touched the lives of tens of thousands of children and adults in the Los Angeles area and has received numerous awards.

Strike out Against Drugs (SOAD)
SOAD is led by individuals who are dedicated to keeping children from a life of drug and alcohol abuse. Through real-life testimonies and outreach programs, SOAD is sending a positive message to our children before they become involved in destructive types of behaviors, all of which can lead to violence or illegal activities. Through the sharing of personal experiences of how this type of lifestyle has destroyed countless lives, SOAD’s real-life messages cannot be matched by any text book or statistic. We are real people telling our stories. To date, this message has been communicated to thousand upon thousands of children in Southern California.
