Los Angeles (CNN) Laverne Delgado is spending Mother's Day weekend crisscrossing Los Angeles with bags full of personal care items for single moms who've fallen on tough times. Her raw empathy has taken her from Pasadena to Skid Row, visiting transitional homes for mothers who've suffered homelessness, domestic violence and even sex trafficking. Delgado, 32, zipped inside wearing a striped jumpsuit and carrying handfuls of white bags packed with gifts for residents. "The vulnerable are extremely vulnerable because of Covid so we fill these bags with essential items and luxury items," she told CNN. But they also carry jewelry, makeup and gift cards donated by such brands as Chanel, Morphe and Benefit Cosmetics -- after all, it is Mother's Day.
