Shaq Changes Lives with Heartfelt Visit to a Texas Family of 11
Shaquille O’Neal isn’t just a basketball legend—he’s also a legend in generosity. Recently, he surprised a Texas family of 11, known online as The Collins Kids, with a series of incredible acts of kindness that touched hearts across the nation.
It started with a simple dinner at Babe’s Chicken. But for Shaq, who’s made it his mission to do one good deed every time he leaves the house, that was just the beginning.
After the meal, Shaq surprised the family with a brand-new 15-passenger van, replacing their old one with unreliable air conditioning—a life-changing gift for mom Carissa, dad Mandla, and their 9 (soon-to-be 10) children. Mandla, a former Harlem Globetrotter and current Mercedes-Benz manager, was later gifted a brand-new truck to replace his old one without heat or A/C.
