The 'Stay' hitmaker and the tech mogul Jack Dorsey are lending their hands to help domestic violence victims as they are turned away from shelters during the lockdown.

AceShowbiz - Rihanna has teamed up with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to boost the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles by over $4 million.

The fund has been helping get relief to city residents struggling with COVID-19, and now the "Umbrella" singer and the tech mogul have joined forces to specifically help domestic violence victims.

Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation and Dorsey announced the cash hand-out on Thursday, April 9, 2020, after learning as many as 90 people per week have been turned away from full domestic violence shelters in Los Angeles since the Safer at Home Order was issued in mid-March.

Their funding will provide 10 weeks of shelter, meals and counselling for 90 domestic violence victims per week, with an additional 90 victims every week thereafter for 10 weeks.

The news comes just days after Dorsey announced he will be donating $1 billion to help fund COVID-19 relief efforts, and a week after Rihanna's CLF partners and Jay-Z's Shawn Carter Foundation announced $2 million in grants to COVID-19 response efforts in New York City and Los Angeles.
