Magic Johnson Helps Katrina Victims

(1/1)

Tha G In Deee:
Associated Press: "Magic Johnson promised jobs to some Hurricane Katrina victims living at a shelter in Los Angeles, in addition to helping provide them with shoes, food and entertainment.

The former Los Angeles Lakers superstar runs his own corporation, which includes local TGIFriday's and Burger King restaurants, 24 Hour Fitness centers and Starbucks.

Johnson told more than 300 families staying at the Dream Center in Echo Park near downtown that he would find jobs for some of them.

"We want to make sure that you understand that somebody loves you and cares about you," he said Thursday. "It may be tough. It may be a little dim and bleak, but you know what? It's going to be all right."

Johnson signed autographs and met with hurricane victims at the center, where more than 60 people were expected to arrive Thursday night, Pastor Matthew Barnett said.

"I've greeted the families and hugged them and high-fived them," Johnson told Fox 11 News. "They're so happy to see myself, but I'm happy to see them."
