(AllHipHop News) DMX’s wife Tashera Simmons has officially launched her new organization Women of Strength Group, a new, tax exempt, non-profit organization aimed at helping children, women and families deal with abuse.
Simmons has started raising funds for the non-profit by hosting an auction on eBay, where a rare Roc-A-Fella plaque with Jay-Z’s signature is being sold.
The authentic plaque’s starting bid is $5,000 and features numerous platinum plaques bearing some of Jay-Z’s best known albums.
Additionally, the plaque features a message from Jay-Z, which says “16 million and counting. Thank you for your support, Jay-Z.”
Women of Strength is a foundation that dedicates its time and resources for women and children who lives have been affected by drug abuse, abandonment, and other social conflicts,” Mrs. Simmons told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “Our goals is to shelter and guide them to a new start in life by providing workshops that focus on the mental rehabilitation needed to re-enter society. We help kids of women affected by unfortunate situations that they have no control over and help them get through their emotional detachment.”
DMX is currently finishing a six-month sentence in Arizona for failing a drug test last June
“Woman of all ethnic backgrounds, religions and social classes can benefit from Women of Strength nationally,” Simmons stated. “Pregnant teens, runaway woman, and domestic abuse victims can find open arms and a place of hope at the woman of strength foundation.”
