As Shirley Raines said, “The lack of a home does not mean a lack of humanity.” That’s why the mom of six from Long Beach, California, has made it her mission to bring dignity, beauty, and friendship to Skid Row
Shirley understands hardship. She nearly lost her home and herself after losing a child. Thankfully, she found hope and purpose in providing meals and building relationships with Skid Row’s homeless population.
She also learned that she shared some of the same interests with the women she met — namely, hair and makeup.
That gave her an idea. Everyone should feel beautiful and be seen for more than their circumstances, so she started a nonprofit called Beauty 2 The Streetz to make it happen.
