Lady Gaga's Mom & BTW Foundation Honor Homeless Chicago Youth

[asana15 16,648]

It's being called putting your money where your mouth is. 

"...Cynthia Germanotta walked through the cramped hallways and tight quarters of The Crib, an overnight shelter for 18- to 24-year-old members of the homeless community, including many who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer.

Germanotta was representing the Born This Way Foundation, which she co-founded with her pop superstar daughter — whose real name is Stefani Germanotta — to create safe spaces, promote education and create a "braver, kinder world."

She also came to congratulate Kishonda Johnson, the bright 20-year-old who won the foundation's Channel Kindness Award. The foundation, with help from the Peace First organization, chose winners in eight cities on Lady Gaga's Joanne World Tour who wanted to contribute an act of kindness to their community.

For Germanotta, seeing The Crib and meeting the people who live there was "overwhelming."

"I would encourage everyone to visit a place like this and see the the hope that it brings," she said. "It's one thing to hear about [homelessness] in communities, but when you actually see what's happening, you realize what people go through." 

As part of Johnson's prize, she and Germanotta handed out backpacks filled with supplies to help those who are still experiencing homelessness. Johnson also received two free tickets to the Lady Gaga concert at Wrigley Field Friday.

Starts at 6:05.
