SPOKANE, Wash. – Lucas, a Spokane native with a large online presence, is making a significant impact in his community. Known online as “Ghoulz,” Lucas has accumulated over 1 billion views and 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube. Despite his fame, Lucas remains focused on giving back to those in need.
Lucas’s charitable efforts are benefiting seven local organizations, including the Salvation Army. He is dedicated to helping families in need, especially during the holiday season.
“There were a lot of people that really needed some help. So, I thought it was the perfect connection to take our presence and really give back to those people,” he said.
One of the key recipients of Lucas’s donations is Sally’s House, a foster care home through the Salvation Army that helps children in unsafe situations. “It’s heartbreaking. These kids don’t deserve to go through what they’re going through,” Lucas stated.
Lucas’s success on YouTube has led to brand deals, but he chooses to share his earnings with those less fortunate.
“I’ve just been so content, like I have everything that I need. And so, you know, I just want to help people that don’t have what they need. So that’s my ultimate goal,” he added.
The Salvation Army’s Commander Cain appreciates Lucas’s generosity, saying, “Isn’t that what Christmas is about?” Lucas’s donations are helping to provide Christmas presents for more than 60 families.
Lucas’s rise to fame was rapid, growing from 3,000 subscribers to 100,000 in just a week. Despite this, he remains grounded, attributing his success to his faith. “Ultimately, I would never be here without Jesus,” he said.
