Taylor Swift quietly donates to Texas car crash victims
John Salangsang/John Salangsang/Invision/APTaylor Swift reportedly donated $ 15,000 to a gofundme page raising funds to pay shape care costs to the wife and son of a Texas volunteer firefighter who were both injured in a car crash.
Not even haters can possibly still despise, despise, despise Taylor Swift.
The 25-year-ancient “Shake It Off” singer donated $ 15,000 to help the family of a Texas volunteer firefighter pay for their medical bills after a horrific accident.
Firefighter Aaron Van Riper made national headlines last weekend after responding to a 911 call of an car accident near Huntsville, Tex., only to find his wife and son were the ones severely injured at the scene.
www.gofundme.comSwift’s large donation wasn’t publicized by the singer, but was noticed by the family’s friends.
Because the family doesn’t have shape insurance, friends set up a gofundme site that has already raised $ 104,188 in four days to pay for the medical costs of Amber Van Riper and the couple’s 7-year-ancient son, John. The boy has since been released from the hospital, while his mom is still recovering from multiple surgeries.
A rep for Swift later confirmed to Billboard Magazine that the pop diva was the supporter.
“Not a lot of people are just gonna drop that,” Van Riper told Houston’s KHOU TV. “If it is her, I thank her from the bottom of my heart. She’s an incredible person.”
Houston Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt also visited the family in the hospital.

It’s just the latest in a long line of good deeds from Swift.
She donated $ 50,000 worth of proceeds from her song, “Welcome to New York” to the city’s public schools system in February. And two months earlier, Swift, 25, topped the Something.org’s Gone Excellent list as the most charitable celebrity for the third year in a row for her continual donations to multiple causes.
