Charity Work
Like her mother, Ines, who was active doing charity work with the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in San Francisco, Folger continued to be involved with volunteer work. She registered as a volunteer for the Los Angeles County Welfare Department in September 1968. Earlier, in the spring and summer of 1968, she attended fundraisers set up by her mother to aid the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic. It was around the same time many of the Manson family women were being treated there. Back in Los Angeles, Folger spent long days in the ghettos doing her job as a volunteer with children, waking up at dawn each day.
Folger's work as a volunteer soon began to take a toll on her and she became depressed.
