The Game $1million to the town of Flint as it faces horrific water crisis

 The Game took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal he had made a $1million donation from his charity to the Flint, Michigan water crisis – half of it from his own personal bank account.
While making his generous pledge, the 36-year-old called out Jimmy Fallon and Madonna for only donating $10,000 each to the crisis.

‘I just figured Madonna has gotta be close to a billionaire,’ The Game said on TMZ Live. ‘I just thought that the $10,000 was sort of a joke to me. No one else has to share that opinion or feel like that. I just felt like if we’re going to donate some water, let’s donate some water.’
Residents of Flint complained for more than 18 months that their water was contaminated.
After an emergency city manager switched Flint’s water supply to Flint River water in 2014, the corrosive water caused lead to leach from old pipes, and elevated lead levels were discovered in children.
