Taylor Swift is once again generous. The pop singer donated $ 13,000 each to two mothers in need.

Lavish monetary gift for Christmas: Taylor Swift (30, "Folklore") were so touched by the stories of two mothers that she decided to make a generous donation. The pop singer paid the mothers $ 13,000 each after reading an article in the Washington Post about how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting their lives.

A Nashville-based single mother named Nikki Cornwell said in the article that she had $ 5,000 in arrears on rent and she wasn't sure if she could get her kids a Christmas present this year. "It's been a terrible year for us," Cornwell wrote on her fundraising page. She should have started a new job in May, but then she tested positive for Covid-19. "It was tough because I'm not the only one looking for work. My family would appreciate any help over the holidays. I pray for miracles."

And this miracle happened: Suddenly Nikki Cornwell found a donation of 13,000 dollars – from none other than megastar Taylor Swift. The singer wrote a touching message: "Nikki, I read about you in the Washington Post and thought you were really brave to share your story. I'm so sorry for what you had to go through this year and that's why I wanted to Send you this gift. From one Nashville girl to another. With love, Taylor. "

"Nobody should feel this stress"

Shelbie Selewski from Michigan also shared her story in the article. She lost her job in the spring and had to stay at home with her little daughter, who was born with a lung disease shortly before the pandemic. She tried tirelessly to find a job, but with her sick little daughter and another seven-year-old in online classes, this was hardly possible, she describes her situation on her GoFundMe page. "We sold everything we could and that's how we paid our bills, but it feels like something new is coming in every day."

Taylor Swift also donated $ 13,000 to Selewski, writing, "Nobody should feel the stress you're under. I hope you and your beautiful family have a great holiday."

Taylor Swift often donates to her fans

It is not the first time that the singer has shown herself so generously. In 2018, Swift helped about a 19-year-old whose mother had been in a coma for three years with a donation. In the same year, she donated $ 10,000 to an autistic boy for an assistance dog. In 2019, she contributed $ 10,000 to the hospital bills of a cancer fanatic and in March 2020, $ 1 million went to hurricane victims in her home town of Nashville. Even during the Corona crisis, she secretly donated to several fans.
