...Daniels and her friends got to work first thing Monday morning after the storm hit. The needs were immediate — roofs had to be tarped, relatives and elderly neighbors needed to be checked on. Power was out everywhere, and it was obvious water, food and other necessities needed to be distributed.
So the Baton Rouge native used her large Twitter following, built up over her career as an adult film star and director, to get in touch with people who needed help.
“We didn't wait for help to arrive, but I have a group of friends here that are very self-sufficient and caring and work together really great,” she says. “My friend Irin Sarx and her husband Jaysen Craves — even though she ended up breaking her toe and their roof caved in — they were the first people to have a generator. She just automatically started cooking and delivering meals and tarping roofs, and we just kind of came together and did what had to be done.”
Since then, the team of around 20 people have cooked and distributed hundreds of meals to New Orleanians, cleaned out fridges and collected and delivered critical supplies to people in need, such as water, ice, diapers, period products and tarps. It’s been a community effort, with local business owners Janya Mercado of Bar Redux and Scott Wood of Courtyard Brewery donating their food and offering up their spaces as distribution and supply drop-off locations...
