comeback win. 66-65, the final. there is a lot going on right now. we will know more about the college football playoff later in the morning. >> i mean, the number of like the four-team list i have seen on social media over the last few hours, it's crazy. i don't even know college football, but i know this is a very important day. >> a big deal. thank you, carolyn, for your careful handling of this story to true georgians. all right. the next hour of "cnn this morning" starts right now. good morning to you and welcome to "cnn this morning." it is sunday, december 3rd. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm isabel rosales. >> overnight israel continued to bombard hamas targets in gaza. this is the third day of fighting since the truce collapsed. israel says it plans to continue its mission to eradicate hamas and free the hostages. idf hit multiple targets, tunnel shafts, command centers, weapons storage facilities. hamas launched a barrage of missiles towards tel aviv which were intercepted by israel's iron dome. >> but israel recalled its team of negotiators in qatar. that not good news when talks broke down saturday after israel insisted that hamas release a group of william from gaza and hamas refused. hamas blames israel and the u.s. for the hostile till tease in these talks and said there will be no hostage negotiations with israel until there is a ceasefire. cnn's ben wedeman is covering all of this for us in jerusalem. ben, what is the latest? what are you seeing on the ground? >> reporter: well, what we've seen is fairly intense israeli airstrikes throughout the gaza strip. yesterday it appeared that many of them were focused in the northern part of the gaza strip, which israel has said is no longer under hamas' control, but there was on social media the arabic spokesman for the israeli media told people in areas to the east and north of gaza city to leave their homes immediately, but what we saw was no those areas there were multiple strikes. one them hitting a six story building, which according to people in the area had more than 100 people who had fled from other areas. and the local hospital reported that dozens were killed in that instance, dozens were killed in another strike in the area east of gaza city. now, we don't have a clear idea how many people have been killed in gaza within the last 24 hours, but i think it's fair to say hundreds is probably safe. now, we understand that according to the israelis they were able to kill one of the hamas commanders who helped plan the 7 october attacks on israel. the israelis are also saying that they have until now managed to locate 800 hamas tunnels and destroyed 500 of them. now, today also the israelis are announcing that two of their soldiers in gaza have been killed. now, as far as the humanitarian situation goes, according to the palestinian red crescent society, 100 trucks were able to pass from egypt into gaza through the rafah crossing. those trucks contained food, medicine, and body bags. a spokesman for the u.n. agency that looks after the -- after palestinian refugees said that, however, the amount of aid getting into gaza is, in his words, a drop in the ocean. they are increasingly concerned about the spread of disease given that especially in the south of gaza it is so crowded and the sanitary conditions are deteriorating. victor, isabel. >> we heard here in the last hour from the unicef spokesperson those conditions just worsening by the day and that sun self spokesperson in the hospitals and seeing up close and personal the struggles people are going with. ben wedeman, thank you so much for your time and your perspective. let's go now to cnn's camilla at the white house. when it comes to releasing more hostages, the coordinators for both israel and the united states, they have been meeting. what can you tell us about that? is that a sign of something positive? >> reporter: that's right. we're told that the u.s. coordinator and the israeli coordinator met on saturday where the israeli official just thanked the u.s. for the continued support of israel since the conflict began on october 7th and its commitment to ensuring that all of the hostages held in captivity by hamas are freed. now, what we've seen this entire weekend from vice president kamala harris attending a dubai summit where she made public remarks about the conflict and reiterated the u.s.'s support of israel to just this meeting that took place is the white house is pushing for these talks to resume for hamas and israel to come up with an agreement to resume a humanitarian pause because what we've seen in the past is that without a truce in place, then that means that the possibility of more hostages being released are very slim. when the seven-day truce lasted, we saw more than 50 hostages be released, including a little american girl named abigail who turned 4 in captivity, isabel. >> right. and still 17 women and children under captivity in gaza. thank you so much. >> for more information how you can help with humanitarian relief efforts for gaza and israel, please go to cnn.com/impact. the u.s. says it is pledging $3 billion to combat global climate change. vice president kamala harris made the announcement saturday at the cop28 summit. >> that's earmarked for the green climate fund. >> today i am proud to announce that the united states is launching a new partnership to help build clean energy supply chains around the globe. we are also announcing $568 million in concessional lending as part of this partnership to help drive investment in clean energy, manufacturing. >> cnn's david mckenz zpli is monitoring all the developments happening at cop28. he joins us now live from dubai. david, the u.s. had been previously criticized by some climate experts and advocacy groups for not contributing enough funding. so what changed? >> reporter: good morning. well, the kind of funding that the u.s. has provided, it did give a relatively small amount to the loss and damage fund. that is a fund that goes to countries that are dealing with the worst ravages of the climate crisis. but this $3 billion announcement by the vice president is certainly substantial. that's going to a different fund that will help countries transition to cleaner energy. all of today though has been about the health impact of the climate crisis. you know wev have seen in the northern hemisphere the heatwaves, the ravages of hurricanes, and the impact of pollution. it has a significant impact on people's health. across the globe, and the world health organization says this needs to be front and center as we combat global warming. >> so they think they have been negotiating with carbon emissions. the message we are bringing is you are actually negotiating about human lives and how many human lives you can save both by preventing the health risks of climate change but also saving lives by climate action through clean energy. >> reporter: here is a big number. more than 7 million people die every year from the pollution spewing out of mostly fossil fuel plants. that is one impact. of course, it's just the searing heat we've seen from the warming planet that has an impact on health. more than 50 million different physicians and nurses and others in the health industry have banded together to try to put pressure on the negotiators here through the world health organization to do better in terms of adjusting our world both to help poorer nations deal with the health impacts and also, of course, limiting emissions to try to stop global warming. >> david, we also understand that the vice president spoke with the president of egypt, president el sisi. what do you know about that conversation? >> reporter: that's an important meeting that happened on the side of these climate meetings that the vice president had with president el sisi, as well as other electronic leaders. according to the sideline's office they talked about the fact that the u.s. would not respect any move by israel to change the borders of gaza or to move people out of their territory elsewhere. there was also, of course, discussion about egypt's role in negotiating the release of further hostages. but as we have been reporting, without a pause in the fighting, that's probably unlikely in the short term. but the vice president was working with and speaking to u.s. allies in region here on sidelines of the meeting. victor. >> david mckenzie in dubai. thank you. coming up, donald trump spent the weekend in iowa trying to convince voters they should fear a biden second term. more on what he had to say. that's next. welcome back to "cnn this morning." now to the 2024 presidential race. former president donald trump took his most direct aim yet at president joe biden on the campaign trail in iowa. as he faces 91 criminals charges himself, he told his crowd of supporters last night that the biden administration is full of, quote, criminals. >> the white house warns a second trump term would threaten american democracy. kristen holmes is in iowa. >> reporter: good morning, victor and isabel. well, this speech really served as the most forceful rebuttal we have seen from former president trump. t to president biden's argument that a second trump term would be bad for democracy. trump referenced the speech in which biden essentially said that maga republicans were bad for american institutions. that trump himself was bad for democracy. trump in this speech trying to really turn the tables on the narrative and say that it was joe biden who was bad for democracy. take a listen. >> but joe biden is not the defender of american democracy. joe biden is the destroyer of american democracy. so if joe biden wants to make this race a question of which candidate will defend our democracy and protect our freedoms and i say to crooked joe, and he is crooked, the most corrupt president we have ever had, we will win that fight and we will win it very big. very big. >> reporter: at one point the former president said his campaign is a righteous crusade to liberate our republic from joe biden. begs the question, what is joe biden doing that is anti-democratic? he raised several topics. one electric vehicles, saying that the biden administration was trying to force people to drive specific cars. but the main crux of the argument was really one we had heard before, which was about joe biden and his administration and about the charges, multiple charges that donald trump is facing. trump saying that the biden administration was using its powers to essentially interfere with the election, to punish him because he was running for president, to work against him, and in that way he was against democracy. just a reminder here, that former president trump is currently facing charges for his efforts to try to overturn the 2020 election. just when it comes to the iowa caucuses in general, we should note that he remains a clear favorite. his polling numbers are extremely high and it was really fascinating being in the room during his speech earlier before he started talking. we heard someone, one of the intro speakers asking how many people in the room had never caucused before. it seemed about half raised their hands. so he clearly has a lot of support and a lot of new support here in iowa. victor and easy bell. >> joining us for analysis is aaron murphy, des moines bureau chief at the gazette. we are about six weeks out to the iowa caucuses and trump is dominating in the polls. what would you say are the primary objectives of both trump and desantis for the hawkeye state? >> well, for trump, it's to just make sure that he has locked down that support that he sees at these events here, that were just described. he gets still big crowds to count and as was noted, a lot of these people are new to the process still even after his run in previous years. so it's the campaign's job now to make sure that those people know how to caucus. it's different than a normal primary election. you have to be in the room at the exact right time. and a lot of people don't know that when they come to the events. so that's the campaign's job, is to inform these supporters so that they know that on jan 15 the where to go and express their support for former president trump. as far as governor desantis, it's simple task of trying to create some momentum. there is still time. iowans are notoriously late breakers, late deciders in caucuses. so even another we are getting down to the wire, we are counting weeks now instead of months, there is still time for someone like governor desantis or perhaps ambassador haley to make a charge. so that's what they need to do, is to coalesce basically that, for lack of a better term, anyone but trump laying and start to mount a serious challenge to former president trump in polls because right now, as was just noted, former president trump still has a commanding lead in the polls. >> yeah, right. as long as iowans aren't late to the caucuses, 7:00 p.m., that is the cutoff time. let's dig deeper into florida governor ron desantis. he completed a tour of all 99 counties in iowa. so he is clearly going all in on iowa. he has devoted a lot of resources, time to the state, but as you that matter? will it give him the edge that he needs? >> you know, i think that's the big question. we will find out. i will say iowans value that. iowans want to see the candidate face to face. they want to see him multiple times, really. they want to shake hands, look them in the eye, ask them a pressing question they may have. that historically has been a good strategy. it's helped iowa caucus winners in the past like santorum and huckabee. we are in a different era of politics now with president trump. he didn't do that eight years ago and he finished a strong second here and, obviously, went on to earn the nomination. so governor desantis is putting that strategy to a test. it still valuable? we haven't seen, like i said, seen that rise in the polls yet, but if he continues to do this, maybe he starts to coalesce that group of late deciding people and maybe we do see a surge here in these last few weeks and that would theoretically help governor assassination moving into new hampshire, south carolina, on and on. >> and desantis, he finished this 99 county tour behind trump. a nikki haley is turning her attention to iowa. so can you talk about what a candidate's performance in iowa says about the overall strength of their campaign? why are all the eyes on iowa? >> yeah, well, i mean, the easy answer is because we're first. what iowa does is two things really. it sourtrts out the field at th bottom and kinda determines who is strong enough to create a campaign and get voters' attention and if they are unable do that, that shows up and candidates drop out of the race like we have seen this year and as we have seen in other previous cycles. then at the -- for top polling candidates it sort of givers, you know, information go those next steps. iowans will ultimately decide on a few candidates and the old phrase is there is three tickets out of iowa. i don't know if that's true this year. i think it may be two. but the meaning behind that is that iowans vote and then the next states say, okay, here's who finished at the top in iowa. maybe i should give that candidate a look. and it's a springboard. it's not the decider. it's a springboard into the early states. so that's why donald trump has to make sure he locks down that support and why either governor desantis or ambassador haley needs to improve those numbers to show those next few states that they are a viable challenger to former president trump. >> yeah, and that retail campaigning drushl, cr crucial, crucial, crucial for iowa. coming up, after canceling his trip, pope francis was still able to deliver a message to the world. in order for small businesses to thrive, they need to be smart, efficient, savvy. making the most of every opportunity. that's why comcast business is introducing the small business bonus. for a limited time you can get up to a $1000 prepaid card with qualifying internet. yep, $1000. so switch to business internet from the company with the largest fastest reliable network and that powers more businesses than anyone else. learn how you can get $1000 back for your business today. comcast business. powering possibilities. the pacific northwest is bracing for more heavy rain and snow. those storms will pass through over the next several days. >> and winter weather alerts in place for multiple states and some regions could see up to four feet of snow because of those atmospheric rivers. here to explain the science of all, meteorologist allison chinchar. what should we know? >> we have got a lot of rain and snow, but also some very gusty winds. that could lead to power lines down as well as some trees. here is a look at the live radar. a lot of that moisture really starting to surge back across portions of extreme northern california, oregon as well as washington. but also this snow from yesterday and the day before is now starting to spread eastward. you have got some winter weather alerts stretching farther off to the east. here is a look at going forward. i want to em phasize, this is going to be a new run practically every day. you have this next one arriving early into the morning. that's going to begin to spread out as we head into sunday afternoon and sunday evening bringing more snow to areas of the intermountain west. monday the next system pushes into the pacific northwest. that being more of a focus for washington. today is really more of a focus for oregon. by monday night, that wave continues to slide back in and yet another wave begins to push in into tuesday. that spreads to the east heading into wednesday. back-to-back rounds here essentially of atmospheric river events. when we talk about atmospheric rivers, not all are bad. level ones and twos are mostly beneficial rains that these states need to kind of fill up that water table. once you start sfweting to level fours and fives and we have a level four or much of oregon here it's more hazardous than beneficial because of how much moisture you are putting into these areas. you are talking about widespread along the coastlines of washington, oregon, and even northwestern california. four to seven inches of rain. inland into the higher elevations, now you're talking a lot of the snow being measured in feet. one to three feet not just for the olympics and cascades, but also going into most of the rockies as well. winds have also been a big factor, too. look at some of these, 61 miles an hour, tacoma 64, seattle airport at 52. more winds will kick up later today and even as we go into monday and tuesday of the upcoming week. it's not just wind, also rain. look at the forecast for portland. pretty much rain every single day for these areas for at least the next seven days. >> wind and rain and potentially snow. they are getting all of it. allison chinchar, thank you. this weekend pope francis was unable to attend the u.n. climate summit in dubai over health concerns. >> cnn's vatican correspondent christopher lamb joins us from rome. we learned how the pope is getting better, but he is still struggling. what can you tell us? >> reporter: really, yeah, the pope today said he is feeling better p but he was still unable to deliver his angelus prayer and reflection he does every day from rome at noon. an aide read out his reflection. it took place not from the usual spot of the vatican's palace overlooking saint peter's square but in the pope's home. the pope was advised not to go out because of the change -- any possible changes in temperature. now, francis has been suffering from severe bronchitis, which has led to certain difficulties in him giving speeches, and this is something that he has been slightly vulnerable to recently. he was hospitalized earlier this year with bronchitis. as a young man, he suffered serious pneumonia and had part of his right lung removed. we saw today there has been small improvement and it seems that the canoe a in his hand to administer the antibiotics has been removed. so the pope is slowly getting better, but still unable to give those longer reflections because of the lung infection. isabel. >> yeah, it's great to hear he is doing better. whenever the to pope is feeling unwell, all eyes of course go to the vatican. thank you so much. coming up, a warning for parents with small children after a rise of respiratory illnesses. we will discuss what parents need to know with a doctor. that's next. this morning on health news, a triple threat of covid-19, the flu and rsv. that's causing an uptick in respiratory illnesses here in the u.s., especially among children. that is according to the centers for disease control and prevention. officials say november data shows hospitalizations have been increasing for months and more than 10% of doctor visits mopping children under are than 5 were for flu-like illness. that's three times higher than the national average. joining me is dr. jane morgan. thank you for your time. and for your expertise. >> thank you. >> so, great. what can we expect this season? and talk to me about these numbers, these cases happening in china and whether that's of significance to us here in the u.s. >> it is. and we are all interconnected in this global society. what we are seeing in the united states really are probably cresting at our rsv, that respiratory syncytial virus, and flu is still yet to come. we have lower numbers of covid than we were anticipating. yet, we see this mix of viruses coming in. we want to actually be careful. we look at china, they certainly are having a bigger surge than we are, and part of that is probably because they came out of lockdown a little bit later. so we see these viruses really tearing through the community. they are highly contagious, just as we have seen in our children here in the u.s., that's also what's happening in china. with a mix of viruses, bacteria, and fun guy. >> that's a rebound that they are going through? >> there is a rebound from so long not having exposure to all of these viruses. we actually get exposed to multiple viruses and illnesses, even if they are not evident to us, throughout the year. and we miss that. america had its sort much big rebound last year. i think that's what we are seeing in china this year. >> the cdc reports on vaccines about 6% of children have gotten the new covid-19 vaccine. so how does one make the decision of which vaccine to get and when? >> we are looking at it's really driven by intent. and who intends to get these vaccines and why? and what is the reason? the two primary reasons are do the parents have trust in the medical facility and the medical establishment, and also what is their level of concern about the viruses. we see when we look at parents and what they are expecting to do, the highest number, more than 70%, really plan to get the rsv vaccination, next at about 60% the flu vaccination, and at 40% lags is the covid vaccination. what that shows is what is their level of concern. the highest level of concern for parents is rsv this season followed by flu, followed by covid. and you know what else is interesting. when we look at men, men are more likely to vaccinate their children than women. >> that's fascinating. >> fascinating. >> do you know why? >> fascinating. it's an anomaly at the moment and we are trying to take a look at why that is. but men respondents were more likely to vaccinate their children than women. >> interesting that rsv of course is the primary concern for parents. >> it is this year. >> of young children. what advice would you have for these parents as they are seeing these seemingly alarming numbers, because there is so much advice out there. what is the one sticking point? >> something we need to remember is that even though covid is the laggard here, it is still the primary cause for hospitalizations and deaths. and we really should not take our eye off of that such that there is not a resurgence as these variants begin to move through and begin to change. something else to consider as a cardiologist, is we see emerging data that twins to continue to support that flu vaccinations actually decrease heart attacks by 26% and decrease cardiovascular events by 33%. than he is because there is apoverall decrease in inflammation in the body and that stabilization of those plaques that can be disrupted and lead to heart attacks. so it may be that we need to begin to think of flu shots as part of cardiac prevention tools as well as protecting our respiratory viruses and so more of that to come. getting the flu vaccine makes your hart healthier? >> can make your heart healthier and protect you from heart attacks and heart disease. >> okay. let's talk masks. are people still wearing them? what do you advise? obviously, there are cultures, especially in asia, this he wear that anytime they are feeling a little bit down. is that something we should be considering? >> i don't think we are at the point of bearing masks. i think we need to consider individual situations and people that you are around and whether they are vulnerable and what your behaviors have been prior to being in that situation. but currently i don't think we are at a point we w he need to wear masks. certainly not uniformly. we always need to make sure that we keep that in our arm meant and have situational awareness for where we are and who we are around and have consideration not just for ourselves, but for others as well. >> okay. and as you're looking ahead as the temperatures drop, we get further into the fall and eventually winter, what is your outlook for the season? normal, above average? >> so i think this year we will probably have a normal to maybe slightly above normal flu season. think i this we are starting to normalize. last year we kind of had our catch-up year with all of the viruses and we saw it really sort of tear through our communities. these viruses are highly contagious. i think this year we are really beyond that ground zero, that catch-up and we will see a normal flu season, maybe slightly a greater uptick as we see this confluence of rsv, flu and covid. don't forget. pneumonias and things are caused by other things like micro plasma, streptocaucus, we have to make that in as we get our exposures back to normal. >> doctor, thank you for your time, for your expertise, and it's that time of the year. >> it is that time of the year. >> thank you. coming up, yeah, it's that time of year. also the time of year to buy presents. but if your money is funny, my next guest says try spending only $100 on gifts. not on each gift. total. thatat's next. it's the holiday shopping season. if you are having some financial anxiety, you're all right. experts say that this is normal. especially about buying gifts and deciding how much money to spend on friends and family. here to helphere to help us is singletary, a personal finance columnist for "the washington post," also the author of what to do with your money when crisis hits a survival guide. michelle, good to see you again. let me talk to you about this $100 budget for gifts. this excludes food for the big meal. but, michelle, $100 for everybody? >> everybody. and happy holiday to you. and, yes, $100. that's right. >> how? >> it's based on this -- $100 holiday by bill mcgibbon. basically, you are going -- first of all, have a smaller list, right? and then you are going to think about the kinds of things that people want. how often, victor, are you looking for a charger for your phone? right? you know, you are like little small things. you want one for your car and desk and things like that. and then the other way you can do that is think of alternative gift giving. one year my daughter gave me three home cooked knmeals and i can invite three guests. next time you are in d.c., you can be one of those guests. >> i will be there. >> i love it. a person wrote me and told her monday i am trying to save money. what do you want? she said time, baby. she said, how about if i help you declutter your house because you have been talking about that? and the mom said yes. that meant several hours with your adult child because you know they only want to spend about five minutes with you. that means going through photos and things like that. and grandparents can take on their phone, because grandparents got those phones, too, reading their grandkids' favorite story, you know? and then the parents can play for them if they are out of town at bedtime. it's about realizing that what we mostly want from folks is time and presents and not the presents. so i could go for some metal collar stays. so there is some things on the list. but you're talking about all adults here. what about the kids who have been good all year and are expecting santa to make it rain on the 5th and you are at 100 budget and santa mate be on your plan, too? >> well, you know, way we are talking about people financially struggling, right. manage your children's expectations. my husband and i would go, santa's had a difficult time. you know, some elves didn't show up for work. >> oh, my gosh. y'all, the elves op strike? my goodness. >> they are trying to unionize. and so we say come on. bring your list. you are only going to get two or three things off the list. when they were little, i know you are going to fall out your seat when i tell you this. when they were little, like under 3, i would look through their closet and their toy bed and find things that they hadn't been playing with or maybe they got a gift that they didn't care and i wrapped it up and put it under the tree. >> no. >> yes, i did. >> no. >> yes, yes. the kids love unwrapping stuff. that's what they really like, right? and they usually only like one or two things anyway. so that gives them the ability to unwrap stuff and have that fun and you don't have to spend a lot of >> your kids must have horrible memories, that they already had this three days ago, but okay: this is a good segue into your piece on regifting. you give seven tips here. i don't think i've ever regifted anything. i have a person in my life who for the last ten years has given me a gift every year and i immediately put it in my car, because when i stop by good will i want to make sure i donate it. it's never anything i use, but they are adamant about giving me something. if you're regifting -- go ahead. >> i love that you're doing that, that's great. raise money for charity, help somebody out. say you're a working person and living paycheck to paycheck. you go to a party for you or your child and you get something and it's not what your child likes. people give my son trucks. he loves books. he doesn't care about that. some of it you donate. i have a regifting closs set. when they're little, they've got all of his birthday parties. one of his friends love trucks. i've got a truck and a kid that likes a truck. you wrap it and give it to that kid. we have so much stuff in our homes, in our lives, it would help the environment, it would take the stress off of always trying to find something. in the case of regifting, give something that the person would like. my best friend is a delta. i'm not going to give her a pin -- >> you better not. >> i better not, right? if you've got a pair of earrings and you know your best friend would like that, it's okay. we don't have to tell people where i got these gifts. i'm not saying that you're going to regift everything that you give to everybody, but you know there have been times that you've been invited to something at the last minute, a birthday party or something. you have something in your closet that's new. it has to be new. all the parts have to be there. it's okay to regift that to that person. i have a rule. don't ask, don't tell. if you suspect somebody gave you a regift, don't embarrass them. if you're regifting, don't put it in a saks box when you bought it at costco. >> that's true. that's a good thing. don't try to fool somebody. i have receive many scented candles that i know people didn't go to the store and buy themselves. michelle singletary of "the washington post," thank you very much. >> all right. i wanted to regift from you. you know where i live. >> all right. i will. michelle, i'll be back. -- welcome back. actress felicity huffman is opening up for the first time about how she cheated to get her daughter into college. she was one of 33 wealthy parents charged in the college admissions scandal. >> huffman said she did it to give her daughter a chance at a future so she would not feel like a bad mother. cnn's stephanie elam explains how huffman says she's now making amends. >> felicity huffman was one of 33 wealthy parents using their money and influence to cheat to get their children into some top-notch colleges. she says in this interview with cnn affiliate kabc, she went on to say, to the students and families that sacrificed to get where they are going legitimately, she's apologizing to them as well. she says in this that when the whole incident went down, she actually didn't even think it was real. take a listen to her here. >> they woke my daughters up at gunpoint. again, nothing new to the black and brown community. then they put my hands behind my back and handcuffed me. i asked if i could get dressed. i thought it was a hoax. >> she continued that in hindsight, looking back, she really thought she would be a bad mother if she didn't help her child in this way. listen to more of her thought process here. >> i had to give my daughter a chance at a future. so it was sort of like my daughter's future, which meant i had to break the law. i kept thinking turn around, just turn around. and to my undying shame, i didn't. >> in december of 2019 huffman was sentenced to 14 days in prison, a year of probation, $30,000 fine as well, and she was also told to do 250 hours of community service. so if you're wondering why is she telling us all about this now, it has a lot do with that community service. she started working with an organization called a new way of life. it's a non-profit here in the los angeles area that works with previously incarcerated women, helping them with housing, clothing and job training. she came in and the founder of the organization was actually prepared to just sit her at a desk. she says, because she was also there for part of the interview, that huffman was like, i want to work. she came up with organizing donations, coming
