Taraji Gives Back
Actress Taraji P. Henson took time out of her shooting schedule (She’s currently filming “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”) to adopt a
New Orleans’ Single mother and her children who were victims of Katrina.
“This woman lost everything during Katrina and came back and got her little apartment. She had two daughters she was raising by herself and then her apartment caught on fire, so she lost everything twice.
“I wanted to give her something besides toys because where would they put it? They didn’t have anywhere to stay. So I collected three months’ worth of rent to make sure she got a place to stay,” she tells WENN. Source
Making sure the right kind of charity goes to who really needs it…bravo Taraji…bravo.
