The Game and his son Harlem Taylor have made headlines recently for the number of charitable of fundraising campaigns they've thrown themselves behind. After recently helping out a Compton teen in his quest to pilot a plane around the world, it was announced that the two would be partnering on a fundraiser to help out three-year Zachaeus and his father, Daquan Waters.
Zachaeus was shot in the face last May in the midst North Carolina shooting in which his mother and her unborn child were killed. When authorities arrived at the scene, Zachaeus was found next to the body of his mother.
Thanks to his son, The Game found out about Zachaeus, and the two continued their charitable trend by setting up a GoFundMe campaign for the three-year-old.
The Game, who was moved to tears by the story, posted a photo of Zachaeus to his Instagram account that he accompanied with this moving message:
“3 year old Zachaeus was shot in the face on his 3rd birthday & left for dead for hours laying next to his dead mother…My son @HvrlemTaylor found this story & keeping it [100], literally brought tears to my eyes so I immediately contacted the father & decided to make you all aware of this baby’s story so we could do what we do & raise $5000 quickly for him…No child on earth should ever have to experience something so tragic especially at such a young age!!! I’m starting the donations off with $1,000 in hopes my fans will FOLLOW & DONATE ANYTHING AS SMALL AS $1 & help @daquanwaters & his son pull their lives back together, THEY REALLY NEED OUR HELP.”
The campaign was established last week, and it has nearly reached $10,000 in donations.
