On Saturday, November 7, Michael Stars joined actresses Mariska Hargitay and Debra Messing along with the Joyful Heart Foundation to raise awareness about the need for domestic violence support services throughout California by building healing and wellness kits for women in crisis shelters. Michael Stars donated one tee per kit and enough kits were created to give one to each of the estimated 600 women currently being served in one of Los Angeles County’s domestic violence shelters. Facing one of the worst state budget crisis in history, California’s domestic violence services budget has been drastically cut, forcing many shelters to turn away or cut services to families in need. The Joyful Heart Foundation is dedicated to shining a light on this issue and to send a message of compassion, encouragement and hope to survivors of domestic violence. Michael Stars will be joining this cause and honored to partner with Mariska and the Joyful Heart Foundation to create a charity tee this Spring to help raise awareness and support for these women and families in need.
