S U C C E S S ST O RY DANIEL

Morales Family Keeps Their Sights On Helping Daniel Kids Local philanthropists Zoie and Michael Morales are all about kids. They have lovingly parented their three children, while also staying focused on local kids in crisis that need their help. Zoie has been connected with Daniel – Florida’s oldest child service agency – from an early age. Her late father, Hank Haynes, served on the Daniel Board of Trustees for more than 30 years. She and her husband have honored his legacy by continually supporting a wide variety of community causes that benefit children, most recently by becoming the leading benefactors behind Daniel’s Woodcove Cottage renovation. Woodcove Cottage is one of several mid-size residential treatment cottages initially built on Daniel’s Belfort Road campus in the 1960s. Approximately 30 girls, aged 9 to 17, stay at Woodcove each year to receive intensive counseling and behavioral therapy for an average of three to six months. Many of these girls were abused, others struggle with behavioral or emotional issues – all need the acute, in-patient care that the Daniel team provides. Yet over time, Woodcove Cottage began showing significant wear and tear, requiring not only necessary repairs, but also a brighter look that would enhance the therapeutic treatment provided there.

The Morales Family

The Morales family made a generous contribution that enabled Daniel to update the cottage’s bedrooms, make the bathrooms ADA compliant, beautify the common space and more. The work began in 2020 and is estimated to be fully completed by February 2021, offering Daniel kids a brighter, more comfortable environment in which to heal. Special thanks to the Morales family who made this transformation possible along with contributions from David Weekley Homes and Reliant Roofing. Daniel is currently raising funds for similar renovations to their Creekside Cottage. To learn more about how to help, including options with naming opportunities, please contact Madison Shelly at mshelly@danielkids. org or 904.296.1055 ext. 1031.
