Actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry is stepping in to help a family who lost their mother in a bank shooting, WSB TV reports.

The station said Perry reached out to the family and offered to arrange for 45-year-old Tynesha Evans’s body to be flown to Wisconsin for her funeral, offered to take care of the family’s rent so that they don’t get evicted, and also offered to cover the tuition of Sharadiant Turner, who is currently a freshman at Spelman College in Atlanta.
