It's nice to see when a celebrity extends a helping hand to their hometown community, just like Zendaya is doing today. The actress/singer is taking to her socials to help spread the word about a GoFund me set up for murder victim Lnefarius McGinnis' daughters and wife. Zendaya is also sharing the post because she had a personal connection to the victim. Her mother was one of his teachers, which is how Zendaya came to know the 30 year old victim. She and Zendaya are now donating and raising money for his family, which includes Vanessa Gonzalez, who works as a security guard in San Francisco, and daughters Zuri, 2, and Saniaa, 9, all of whom live in Oakland.
