Exclusive Details

Drake‘s been in a giving mood this week, and one of his 5-figure gifts will help women and children in Miami for years to come … TMZ has learned.

Drizzy dropped by Lotus House — Miami’s only shelter for homeless women and children — and dished out toys and games to 140 kids Tuesday. He also handed out $150 Target gift cards to 130 women, and cut a $50,000 check for the organization.
