Vanessa Bryant and the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation donated Nike sneakers from the late Kobe Bryant’s signature line to children affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

On Friday, footage of Bryant and members of the five-time NBA champion’s foundation handing out boxes of sneakers to children at Dodger Stadium circulated online. The Mamba and Mambacita Foundation also provided children with socks and other necessary items.

Bryant had shared in a social media post earlier this week that the first home that she and Kobe lived in L.A. was located in the Palisades but was destroyed by the fires.

“Kob and I used to live in the Palisades when we first got married (sadly, that home was on the street where the initial fire started 💔). We have so many beautiful memories from living in L.A.,” she wrote in her caption. “There are no words to make all the loss and devastation any better. My heart and prayers go out to everyone in LAwho are affected by the fires. Our @mambamambacitasports is currently working to help the L.A. community. We love you, L.A. ❤️ #LASTRONG #We LA! We Love you @baby2baby! less ❤️.”
