Shirley Raines, the beloved founder of Beauty Two The Streetz and one of the most respected humanitarian figures in America, has tragically passed away at the age of fifty-eight. Known around the world as Ms. Shirley, she dedicated her life to serving the homeless community, especially on Skid Row in Los Angeles, where she provided food, clothing, hygiene supplies, hair, makeup, emotional support, and most importantly, dignity.
From growing up in Compton, California, to surviving the devastating loss of her two-year-old son Demetrius, Shirley Raines transformed unimaginable pain into a global mission of compassion. What began as small feeding missions eventually became a powerful nonprofit organization that touched the lives of thousands of people living on the streets.
In two thousand twenty-one, Shirley was honored as CNN Hero of the Year. In two thousand twenty-five, she received the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Social Media Personality and was named one of TIME’s TIME One Hundred Creators. Her TikTok and Instagram platforms reached millions, not for entertainment, but for real human connection.
Shirley Raines passed away on the twenty-seventh of January, two thousand twenty-six, in Las Vegas, Nevada. While the exact medical cause of death has not been publicly disclosed, her organization Beauty Two The Streetz confirmed her passing and asked for prayers and privacy for her family.
