Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is among those who have helped Yuri Williams make people smile.
When Yuri Williams was 8 years old, his mother sometimes took him with her to work at the Los Angeles County’s Central Juvenile Hall when she couldn’t find a sitter. Lynda C. Hubbard worked there, with troubled children and young adults as a juvenile correctional officer, for more than three decades.
“My mom always told me when you do something, try to do it different from others,” Williams said. “I figured by wearing a costume it could be a distraction, because it was rare that people see others in costume coming out to help.” “Yuri has been amazing,” said Rita Goshert, director of the center’s Child Life Program. “He’s been partnering and collaborating with us for several years. He just surprises us with these donations and it just makes all the difference in the world.
“Some of these parents haven’t seen their kids smile in awhile, or they haven’t been able to provide the gifts they’d like to for their kids,” Williams said. “Sometimes, they need this just as much as their kids.” Williams also visits homeless veterans in Los Angeles and Orange counties, providing hygiene kits, clothing, food, gift cards. He organizes art classes meant to help them cope with their struggles. And, he listens.
