Schools are closed. NBA games are finished. Disneyland has shut down. But one thing that’s not canceled in the age of coronavirus is compassion. Just look at Shirley Raines, who's delivering virus-fighting essentials to people living on skid row.
Schools are closed, NBA games are finished and Disneyland has shut down, but one thing that’s not canceled in the age of coronavirus is compassion.
Raines, who lives in Long Beach and is a mom of six, runs a nonprofit organization called Beauty2TheStreetz, which normally provides services like hair color, makeup and mobile showers to skid row’s homeless up to four times a week. They also hand out food, drinks, blankets and any other necessities they can get their hands on.Raines has done this for the last three years, but in March everything changed.
So, she decided to do both — adjusting her usual routine to cut out physical contact and still get her community the amenities they need to make it through this crisis.
