Tyler Perry helps family of murdered Georgia single mom
The family of a woman who was murdered Saturday in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, Georgia received a surprise helping hand from film and TV mogul Tyler Perry.
Forty-five-year-old Tynesha Evans, a single mother of four children, was shot and killed March 16 at a local Wells Fargo bank, allegedly by an "on-again, off-again" boyfriend, police said.
Evans had reportedly fallen on hard times recently and went to the bank because her ex, who's been arrested for her murder, had offered to help her cover her rent when the family was threatened with eviction.
According to Atlanta's WSB TV, Perry gave the family a call after hearing about the story.
Evans' daughter, Audrey Turner, said she almost didn't answer the phone when it rang.
Perry reportedly offered to fly Evans' body back to their home state of Wisconsin, where her funeral will be held, and also offered to pay daughter Sharadiant Turner's tuition at Atlanta's Spelman College, where she's a freshman.

Dramatic video captures moment teen saves toddler falling from second-floor window
A fast-thinking teenager saved a toddler's life when he stopped the young girl from falling from a second-story window of an Istanbul apartment, video shows.
Feuzi Zabaat, an Algerian 17-year-old, told AFP that he was walking down the street last week when he saw 2-year-old Syrian Doha Muhammed playing near the open window.
"I was just walking in the road when I saw the little girl at the window. She fell, and thanks to God, I caught her before she hit the ground," he told the French news agency.
Feuzi told Reuters that when he noticed the little girl, he positioned himself underneath the window.
CCTV footage shows Feuzi in a yellow t-shirt standing just off the sidewalk and looking up. He raises his arms, and from the top of the frame, Doha plummets down.
Miraculously, Feuzi was able to catch Doha and break her fall. The video shows him comforting and rocking the young girl in his arms as a crowd forms around them.
According to Reuters, Doha suffered no injuries, and her family gave Feuzi 200 Turkish Liras, about $35, for his heroic act.

3,000 strangers show up to funeral of Vietnam veteran with no family
Approximately 3,000 strangers came to the funeral of a Vietnam veteran with no surviving family.
On Wednesday, strangers from Florida, Tennessee, and Iowa reportedly drove to a Michigan funeral for 67-year-old Wayne Lee Wilson, who died on May 28. The former truck driver “proudly” served in the military from 1971 to 1977, including during the Vietnam War, according to an obituary from the Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Services.
“He was passionate about helping his fellow wounded veterans and encouraged others to give to the Paralyzed Veterans Association,” read Wilson’s obit. “Mr. Wilson has no surviving relatives.”
The notice stated, “All members of the public are invited to attend to pay their respects for an American hero.”
Drew Mikel, a 20-year-old intern at Brown Funeral Home, wrote a press release about the service for the local newspaper. It landed on Facebook and was shared thousands of times. “I had never written a press release before, but I typed up something and sent it to our local paper,” Mikel tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “We were hoping just a handful of people would show up.”
Mikel says that when he drove Wilson’s hearse into the funeral, “a swarm of people parted.” He estimates that 3,000 people were in attendance.
"Dignitaries have funerals like this," Charlotte Andrews, Wilson’s friend of 20 years, who also co-planned his funeral, told the Detroit Free Press. "Who would have thought that a simple man with simple ideas and a simple way of life would have been able to have such an enormous amount of people to be able to send him off?"
She added that Wilson flew a flag on his motorized scooter and made a habit of decorating veteran gravestones with flags.
Wilson had a military service, including a 21-gun salute.
The mayor of Niles, Michigan, Nick Shelton, also attended the funeral. “General George S. Patton Jr. said it best: 'It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived,’” Shelton said, according to WNDU. “Thank God for Wayne Wilson and thank you all for being a part of his legacy.”
Wilson’s friend Andrews tells the Detroit Free Press that the turn-out would have humbled Wilson. "He would have had his head in his hands, shaking his head, tears flowing down his face, and he would have said, 'Baby girl, what did the two of you do?'"

Batman walks 3-year-old to preschool after bullies gave her a black eye
After a three-year-old girl came home from preschool with bruises on her face and a black eye, she finally opened up to her mother that she was being bullied by her classmates. That's when Batman stepped in. He walked the little girl, Lydia, to school to inform her bullies that she was his "best friend" and he would be back to check on her.
Lydia's mom, Erica Calculli, of Spring Hill, Fla., initially believed that the marks her daughter came home with were accidental, possibly from other children unknowingly playing too roughly.
"At first it was very minor and I thought it happened just playing around, so I let it go," Calculli told WTSP. But, toward the end of August, Lydia came home with a swollen red and black eye.
"She told me that a bunch of girls and one boy hit her, and a girl threw a shoe at her eye," Calculli said.
According to Calculli, the bullying caused changes in her daughter's temperament. Where she was once bright and bubbly, she noticed that Lydia’s behavior was changing, and she even started to get violent with Calculli.
The mom reported the incidents to her daughter's school, but little was changed, so she aired her frustration on social media, where the hero of Spring Hill took notice.
"Lydia's mother and I have been friends for a bit," says Jack Asbury III, who revealed his secret identity to Yahoo Lifestyle. "I saw her post on Facebook about Lydia having a hard time. I knew she liked superheroes, so I asked if I could walk her to school [as Batman]."
Asbury, who works as an EMT when he's not visiting children in the community who need a little cheering up, arrived outside Lydia's school on Aug. 28 dressed as the Dark Knight, which he admits can be a bit intimidating for young children.
"At first, Lydia was a little shy and nervous," Asbury tells Yahoo Lifestyle. "But when I told her I had a gift for her, she came out and started talking."
Asbury also brought Lydia her own superhero outfit, Supergirl, and told her that she was just as brave as the hero.
"I asked if I could walk her and if she could show me the way [to her school]. So she grabbed my hand and led me in," Asbury says.
As Lydia brought Batman into her classroom, he says that other kids stood in a bit of shocked silence, while others yelled, "Batman!"
There, Asbury told Lydia's classmates that she was his "very best friend."
The lesson of friendship seemed to stick with the children.
"A little boy came to Lydia as soon as we walked into school this morning," Calculli wrote in a message to Asbury. "[He] said, 'Hi, best friend Lydia,' took her hand, and walked her to class. Seriously, made me cry. Thank you so much for being there for my baby."
According to Asbury, Lydia has also been put in an advanced class in her preschool and has been "doing great."
A "Batfund" has been set up to help Asbury continue to visit children in the community and beyond. Donations to the fundraiser goes to purchasing gifts for children he visits as Batman, and to items that a struggling family may need.
"Unfortunately, I am not the real Bruce Wayne and my salary is limited after my bills and kids are taken care of," Asbury says. "Right now, I'm in the process of putting a care package together for a little one in Texas... The [donations] are to help me be able to do more and help families."
