Tyler Perry Pays Off More than $430,000 in Layaways for Christmas

TYLER PERRY

Christmas came early for a whole bunch of families this year. Last week, Tyler Perry shared a video on Twitter announcing that he paid off all the layaways at two Walmart stores in the Atlanta metro area.

"I know it's a hard time, a lot of people are struggling and I'm just really, really grateful to be able to be in a position to do this," he said in the video.

Perry paid off $432,635, adding that his intention had originally been for his contribution to remain anonymous.

Patrons only have to do pay 1 cent to retrieve their full layaways.

Perry closed out the video, saying, "God Bless, go get your stuff, Merry Christmas."
