Nicole Richie visited Beyond Shelter with a friend last week. The pal brought along a video camera and recorded the whole thing. There are over 175 children and families staying at Beyond Shelter while they look for a more permanent home. This shelter is where Nicole and Joel Madden are hoping to build a playground with funds from their “Text CHILD to 909999” campaign.
In the video below, Nicole meets several people staying at Beyond Shelter.
“It’s just you and me making this happen. There is so much we can do together to help. A playground is just the beginning. We can change the world — you and I,” Nicole writes on the Richie-Madden MySpace. “I’m asking from my heart, and I cannot do it without your help. Please, you guys. Thank you for watching, texting and passing it on.”
I texted this morning! $5 isn’t really a lot to be asking. Did you text?

I’ve texted twice now… lol I’d text up to what was is 5 times? But I don’t have enough money for that… lol
This was on DCMA Collective. It’s a note from Nicole… about how her and Carlos went to Beyond Shelter…
