“I don’t want to get too cheesy and quote Spider-Man, but with great power comes great responsibility.” – Kobe Bryant
A year ago, Kobe Bryant launched the Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation whose goal was to raise funds and awareness for the homeless youth in LA. A year later, My Friend’s Place, the safe haven in Hollywood that serves nearly half the homeless youth of Los Angeles, are the beneficiaries of a renovated facility courtesy of Bryant and wife Vanessa.
Los Angeles has a homeless population of approximately 70,000. The drop-in center, located in Hollywood, serves about 1,700 individuals annually between the ages of 12 and 25.
