The devastating wildfires in Southern California have left thousands of displaced residents without many of their basic needs. And while firefighters have been working around the clock to contain the flames, stars are using their platforms to find help for the victims – including Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry who just made a beautifully generous donation of her own.
The “X-Men” star responded to Sharon Stone who put out a call to her followers in a January 9 Instagram post for donations of gently used clothing, shoes and accessories along with new underwear and gift cards to an LA boutique called COOP.
Stone’s post got more than 27,000 likes and nearly 1,000 comments, including one enthusiastic response from Halle Berry.
“I’m there. Bringing all I have !!” the actress said in the comments.
Berry then dropped a post on her own IG page, asking her nine million followers to give what they can as well.
“I’m packing up my entire closet and heading over to the COOP! If you live in the Southern California area, I urge you to do the same,” Berry captioned her post. “This is something we can do right now today to help all of the displaced families that are in need of the basics today! Thank you @sharonstone for your leadership. Love you Lady ❤️.”
Berry’s post inspired another Catwoman, actress Michelle Pfeiffer, to make a donation of her own.
“Can I do tomorrow?” she commented.
One of Berry’s followers noted the actresses’ connection to their infamous comic book character in the comments.
“@halleberry Leave it to the Catwoman ladies to get shit done!!! Thanks so much for this! @sharonstone,” wrote someone.
