“San Diego is going to be one of my saddest places that I’ve been to in a while because there’s so much youth out there,' Shirley Raines, the founder of Beauty 2 the Streetz, said.
Raines experienced housing insecurity when caring for her firstborn child, Demetrius. At the time, she moved from hotel to hotel to provide shelter for her son. However, just five days before his 3rd birthday, Demetrius passed away in a tragic accident.
That conversation prompted Raines to find a purpose, which became caring for communities impacted by homelessness. “I certainly have been there myself, and I wish that I have had a little help and [then] my son would have still been alive … maybe not,” Raines said. “But at least we try to offer that help to others so they don’t have to experience some of the things we’ve gone through.”
“San Diego is going to be one of my saddest places that I’ve been to in a while because there’s so much youth out there in San Diego,” Raines said. “I’ve not been to a homeless community where I’ve experienced that amount of pregnancy and that many young kids on the street.”
