National News - Television and movie mogul Tyler Perry, of Madea fame, has pledged $1 million dollars to help with Hurricane Harvey victims displaced and challenged by the brutal storm. He is very concerned about his donations getting into the right places and hands of people with "boots on the ground" according to Perry.
He is presently concerned about this because he alluded to giving a lot of money to Hurricane Katrina efforts but suggested some of his money wasn't utilized in the ways he had intended. He wants to make sure his money this time is going into the right hands.
