Michael Che has paid the rent for all 160 apartments in the building his late grandmother lived in. The Saturday Night Live castmember’s beloved grandparent Martha died earlier this month after contracting coronavirus.
So in the ‘spirit and memory’ of his elderly relative, the 36-year-old star revealed his plan to help ease the financial pressure on some New York residents.
He explained in a statement shared to Instagram: ‘It’s crazy to me that residents of public housing are still expected to pay their rent when so many New Yorkers can’t even work. ‘Obviously, I can’t offer much help by myself.
But in the spirit and memory of my late grandmother, I’m paying one month’s rent for all 160 apartments in the NYCHA building she lived in.’ He
