Taylor Swift Donates $50k to Help Mother Struck by Car

Taylor Swift is helping a mother recover after she was hit by a car while helping others.

The star donated $50,000 to a GoFundMe created to aid Ashley Taunton, her husband, and their three children in paying for daily expenses so that they could focus on Taunton’s health, Rolling Stone can confirm.

According to the fundraising page, Taunton saw someone in need after a car accident and pulled over during a heavy rainstorm to help. It was just “”Ashley doing Ashley things,” said her husband Joe. While Taunton was assisting, another vehicle hydroplaned towards them and Taunton pushed a person at the scene out of the way.

Unfortunately, Taunton was struck and now has a long recovery ahead. She has undergone two major surgeries with more scheduled, according to the GoFundMe.

In the comment section of the page, Swift appears to have left a message for Taunton and her family that reads, “Wishing you the best recovery possible and sending love to your family!”
