South East Real Estate and Home issued the following announcement on April 17.
“Saturday Night Live” star Michael Che lost his grandmother to the novel coronavirus last week. And he’s honoring her memory by covering one month’s rent for her old neighbors in a New York City public housing building.
The “Weekend Update” host revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post last week that his grandmother, Martha, died April 5 after contracting the coronavirus disease COVID-19. And he also signed off from “Weekend Update” during the first-ever “SNL: At Home” edition on Saturday as “Martha’s grandbaby.”
Che said that his grandmother moved out of the New York City Housing Authority building in the 1990s. Now he’s covering the rent for all 160 units in the complex to honor her spirit and memory, as well as to raise awareness for the millions of unemployed Americans struggling to make ends meet right now.
