Former AT&T spokeswoman Milana Vayntrub used her flirty pictures for a good cause through Only Philanthropy.
On Monday (Dec. 8), the actress and comedian told her Instagram followers about a "crazy idea" she had to provide monetary support for victims of the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year.
At the time, Vayntrub sold exclusive pictures to raise $170,000 in proceeds within four days for a single mother in Los Angeles.
The funds made a difference for the woman, named Bridget, who was able to replace her medical equipment, buy new clothes and a car, and cover a year of housing for her and her disabled son.
"It was the first time in a long time I felt seen. Like someone actually cared that we were still here, still fighting," Bridget told Vayntrub.
The actress decided to continue her mission over the summer and raised more than $350,000 in a week by posting more spicy pictures. She supported Altadena organization My Tribe Rise, which in turn created direct grants for other wildfire victims.
"This is the best thing I've ever been a part of. Thank you. Truly," Vayntrub wrote.
The entertainer has since developed her platform on Only Philanthropy, which shows "women can mobilize their audience into powerful, purpose-driven communities," according to the website.
Her work on Only Philanthropy comes a few years after Vayntrub faced sexual harassment online when her personal pictures circulated on social media.
"Our real world was so small," she told The New York Times about the impact of the harassment during the COVID-19 pandemic, “that the internet felt like everything."
Only Philanthropy is more empowering: Vayntrub's photos are shared one to three days after users make a donation, and the images cannot be posted on social media.
