Michael Hudson,
CEO

Michael Hudson Jr. is the Founder and Executive Director of Total Blessings LLC, a Florida-based nonprofit organization committed to enriching the lives of young adults and the elderly. With a mission to bridge economic, educational, social, and generational gaps, Total Blessings fosters mutual learning and respect by pairing young adults with elderly residents. Through programs focused on vocational training, financial literacy, and communication skills, Michael aims to empower young adults to become productive global citizens while providing meaningful support to Florida’s elderly population. A Miami native, Michael’s passion for service was deeply influenced by his grandmother, whose teachings on compassion and community inspired his lifelong dedication to giving back. This dedication solidified when he intervened in an attack on an elderly woman, a pivotal moment that highlighted the disconnect between generations and ultimately led to the creation of Total Blessings. Drawing on his extensive business management experience, Michael established Total Blessings in January 2025 with a vision of creating a community where young adults and elders connect, learn, and thrive together, fostering a lasting impact for generations to come.
