We help out and donate a lot of our time and resources to charities that hit close to home, such as Los Angeles Youth Network, and Haven House. LAYN has been providing services to runaway, homeless, high-risk and system youth since 1983, and as of 2009 I became a member of the board of directors.

Other Ways I Make a Difference in The WorldWe recycle, and teach our children the importance of recycling and giving back to the community. Our children to regulary lemonade stands and bake sales that benefit the charities that we are involved with. Slash has personally gone out of his way to contact or meet up with terminally ill children whose last wish is to meet or talk to him, as well as performed at countless benefit concerts that raise funds for various organizations. Having been former addicts, Slash and I both have given a lot of our time and resources to help get people off of drugs and on their road to recovery.
Other Ways I Would Like to Make a DifferenceIt is a goal of mine to one-day start an organization that helps children that have been pulled out of meth-labs. I feel that methamphetamine addiction and production is an issue that has taken this country by storm, and the children are innocent victims in this situation. Being thrown into the fostercare system isnt the best solution in my opinion for these children. They need alot of nuturing, attention and love to help them grow and overcome the situation that they were in.
