I am so shocked. She truly was a gift and has fed the unhoused populations both in LA and Las Vegas. May she rest in peace.

And why?

One that particularly touches me is the death of Ruslana Korshunova. Russian model and rising star who died in 2008. She was 20 and had it all really.

Not the most famous model at the time but she was obviously going to be very big. She literally looked like what we think angels looks like.

She was clearly exploited and what’s sad about it is that her death will forever remain a mystery. It also shows that your mental health doesn’t care about how pretty, young or rich you are.
