young boys, while the Ming Quong Home was for girls. The former Chung Mei house is today part of the Windrush School in El Cerrito, California, and the Ming Quong Home is now a part of Mills College in Oakland, California. In 1935, a third Ming Quong home—the "baby house"—was founded in Los Gatos, California. Younger Chinese American girls were taken care of here until they were old enough (age 13) to move to Oakland. That home today is part of nonprofit EMQ FamiliesFirst. Later life and legacy (1934–1968) Cameron retired from her missionary work and the Presbyterian Home in 1934. She is credited with saving and educating over 2,000 Chinese immigrant women and girls. Before her death, she was considered something of a "national icon", and her life story was told in three biographies, some with fictional elements. While most attention has been focused on Cameron, her work was made possible by Tien Fuh Wu and other aides, who also took part in dangerous rescues, translated for Cameron, and advocated for trafficked women. In 1942, the Presbyterian Home was renamed the Donaldina Cameron House. The building still stands today in Chinatown in San Francisco. It serves as a multi-service nonprofit agency serving the local Asian communities and promoting Christianity through supportive programs like youth sports, tutoring, and counseling. After retirement, Donaldina moved to the Palo Alto in 1942. She died on January 4, 1968, at the age of 98. In popular culture Miranda Raison portrays Cameron in the American television series Warrior (2019) as Nellie Davenport. The historical fiction novel, The Paper Daughters of Chinatown (2020) by Heather B. Moore includes a fictionalized depiction of Cameron.
