Taylor Swift is known to be an incredibly generous person, as she and her husband, Travis Kelce, donated $26 million to charity ahead of their wedding. Now, she has proven her kindness is everlasting by donating $50K to a random GoFundMe. Keep reading for more details on this sweet gesture.
Taylor Swift Saw Someone In Need
When Dolly Parton received $2 million from Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift for her Imagination Library, she was blown away. She made a heartfelt video honoring the couple before their wedding day. Moreover, she asked for the couple’s firstborn, knowing it would be a special baby. This is just who Taylor has always been and likely always will be. Recently, a CNA named Ashley Taunton, 42, was driving on I-95 in Rhode Island. She had her daughter with her when she noticed an accident, and her nursing instincts kicked in.
Taunton pulled over, exited her car, and told her daughter to phone her husband, as she wanted to assist:
“When I see there’s somebody in trouble, I tend to want to go help.”
The teenagers in the car were banged up but okay, but as Taunton was chatting with them, another car hydroplaned. It came toward her, so she grabbed one of the passengers who was nearest and was struck by the vehicle:
“It just felt like a big explosion. I just remember being on the ground and I could see my ankle was just hanging there. I went to try to get up and I couldn’t breathe.”
Ashley Taunton was praying she would live, although she could sense that she had internal bleeding. She had no idea what was next or if she would make it. As of now, it looks like she will be working on her recovery for around a year. A GoFundMe was set up to help her recover, and Taylor Swift came out of nowhere with a $50K donation.
Hope For The Future
So far, the GoFundMe has raised $76K, with the goal being $110K. Followers of the story appreciate Ashley Taunton and Taylor Swift for different reasons. They believe they are incredibly selfless, and that is what has brought them together for this:
- Such a big caring heart she had to run and help the teens in the car. I believe a divine intervention is why she is still among the living. That was a major blow. May God continue to bless her and may her recovery go well. Thanks to Taylor for helping so selflessly.
- I admire Ms Taunton and Taylor…they remind me of Dolly…all three have God in their hearts…In Christ Alone….
Many noted that Taylor Swift does donate anonymously but attached her name this time to draw more attention to Ashley. What she did was incredible and selfless. Hopefully, she heals extremely fast.
