Shirley Raines passed away. She helped thousands on Skid Row in LA.:

Shirley Raines, hero has died too soon - at 58.
She lifted so many lives. A community activist, she provided food, clothing, hair & makeup services, hygiene and safety items to thousands of homeless people in Skid Row, LA.
Thoughts with her family and friends. Thank you Shirley Raines. God speed 💔
