Two social media influencers used their platforms for good to help a Los Angeles family living in their car.
Financial hardship left Hugh Murray and his three young sons. For eight months, the family had been living in their van, even in the middle of the summer heat wave.
As luck would have it, social media influencer Jackie Gansky who has over 3.5 million followers, happened to walk by their van and asked if they wanted any food from the grocery store. From there, a friendship was born. Gansky knew she wanted to help this family and enlisted the help of her best friend, Anna Noel Olson, who also happens to be a social media influencer.
In just a week, the two helped raise over $70,000. With that money, they also helped secure a safe home for Hugh and his boys for a three-bedroom extended stay so the boys can enroll in school and Hugh can find a job. "I think that they’re just so genuinely nice and kind and they just want to share love and they’re so fun. They feel like they’re my little cousins right now or something," Gansky said.
