Another woman, Marcy, who was raised in the foster care system, got into an abusive relationship and became a mother at 19. And now, she wants to help foster children find the resources to advocate for foster rights.

Third, a Los Angeles poet, Angela, who struggled to find a permanent residence, now wants to tell her stories to the homeless women and children through her art.

In the video, Bieber gifts backpacks filled with school supplies to the young women Marcy mentors, a new car to Bahri to help her get to school and time in a studio to Angela to enable her share her poetry.

The video ends with a message that read:

Thank you to the Alexandria House for opening your doors and your hearts to Bahri, Marcy, and Angela and this entire community in times of need.
