Tyler Perry is the latest celeb to step up big with a huge $1 million donation to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Tyler is donating $500,000 to some unnamed charities, $250,000 to Beyonce's pastor Rudy Rasmus' Bread of Life Hurricane Relief Fund, and another $250,000 to Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church to help with the relief effort in Houston. âI know that thereâs been some controversy about Joel Osteen and him not opening the doors of the church,â Perry said. âJoel and Victoria are amazing people â thereâs no way that they would lock people out of the church or not let people seek shelter.â âThere were some safety concerns, and I spoke to them on the phone, and it all made perfect sense to me,â Perry continued. âSo, before you just run and judge someone real quick, you need to know the whole circumstances.â
