Excellent on Tyler Perry's part. I just can't understand how someone driving a brand new Mercedes would be waiting in line to take food from those that truly need it.
I applaud Tyler Perry and all that he does in giving back to the community! There are many pastors at these mega churches that don't do nearly as much as Tyler Perry. I'm truly proud of him and his accomplishments!
africanvoices You are blessed
This gentleman is amazing he remembers where he came from at all times. God bless him cause it's very hard out here, at least he made a lot of people's thanksgiving. The world appreciates your kindness and good-hearted people like you. Future blessing to you & family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
pat_epstein here’s where all the turkey went.
There was over 250 cars behind us still in line?
I went. After 9 hours waitindg the line closed and we got nothing. But, the idea was very good. I must say they tried. Even though I lost 9 hours, I got to spend a great day in the car with my aunt. May God bless you Tyler and keep you safe. I wish more celebrities were like U
5,000 families x 75 dollars = $375,000
He’s a billionaire congrats
Good for you Terry! 👏🏻
Might not like his filmmaking but as a person he is a 5⭐. This is the kind of news that fills one with lots of joy :)
gabrielledoug didn’t give the white family nothing who let her stay in Iowa with them for free and bought everything for her like gabby was their daughter and trusted her with their little girls. And they help Gabrielle make billions of dollars and win 2012 London Olympics
He’s a good dude. Always gives back great and small.
