Katy Perry recalls living on food stamps and 'busking on the street as a teen for $20'... 6 years after starting foundation for kids with sister Angela
Katy Perry opened up about her upbringing as the daughter of devout Pentecostal parents who often had to rely on food stamps and food banks to survive.
Katy – who jetted to Australia for Taylor Swift's gig Friday in Sydney – and her older sister Angela Hudson Lerche founded the Firework Foundation in 2018 as a means to help kids in underserved communities have access to the arts. The kids come from areas in and surrounding Los Angeles and while at camp attend songwriting classes, choreography sessions and shoe design workshops. 'We [want to] support these young people throughout their whole education journey,' Perry continued, disclosing that a number of her former campers have participated in the foundation's Leaders in Training program.
