The Game and his son Harlem Taylor’s charitable efforts have continued thanks to a newly-launched fundraiser.

The father and son pair, who have partnered on past fundraisers, launched a campaign to help raise funds for three-year-old Zachaeus and his father, Daquan Waters.

Zachaeus was shot in the face in May, following a shooting in North Carolina that left his mother and her unborn child dead. The toddler was found next to the body of his mother.

The Los Angeles lyricist received word of Zachaeus thanks to his son, and together the two created a GoFundMe campaign for the three-year-old.

The Game, who says he was brought to tears by Zachaeus’ story, uploaded a photo of the child and his father to his Instagram profile and left the following caption:

“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.”

I wanna personally thank my son @hvrlemtaylor for bringing this story to me as well everyone who donated to “Zachaeus” & his father @daquanwaters to help them reach their goal of $5,000 !!!! I always start the donations off but today @Wack100 donated $1,000 too because he was touched by the story. No child deserves to have to go through that at any young age especially 3 years old……. I’m a father & I know far too well the love instilled inside us real fathers & the pain felt when our children are hurting…… In addition to the $5,000 me, @wack100 & our fans raised… I’m going to donate an extra $5,000 to make sure “Zachaeus” & his father are able to move out of harms way & better their lives from here on out…… I love them like I love my own & I love all of you too !!! I wish I could help everyone at once but I’m only ONE MAN…. But this one man will carry the weight of the world & do as much as I can for as many of you as I can until I am dead…… I want nothing in return but to see you & your family enjoy life as me & my family do….. Again, thank you all for helping…… Hoodnight (no typo) #therobinhoodproject #partnersinkynd [CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO TO DONATE] A photo posted by The Game (@losangelesconfidential) on
