An amazing thing to do.

Taylor Swift has been shown in the past to be very caring to those in need of a little help.

Over the past few years she’s donated to multiple small causes like parents struggling to pay their child’s hospital bills.

This year she once again came to the aid of mothers in need when she donated $26,000 to help two mothers struggling amid the pandemic.

Mother-of-two Nikki Cornwell and new mum Shelbie Selewski found themselves in dire straits this year when they both experienced major financial difficulties.

Nikki Cornwell feared she and her children were about to become homeless after she fell behind on her rent.

According to Independent.ie Taylor donated $13,000 to Ms Cornwell along with the following message;

“Nikki, I read about you in the Washington Post and thought it was really brave of you to share your story.
I’m so sorry for everything you’ve had to go through this year and wanted to send you this gift, from one Nashville girl to another. Love, Taylor.”

Shelbie Selewski also found herself in extreme difficulty after losing her job as a medical receptionist.

Things only got worse when her newborn baby suffered a lung collapse.

Taylor found and donated another $13,000 to Ms Selewski’s GoFundMe page and wrote;

“Shelbie, I’m sending you this gift after reading about you in the Washington Post.

No one should have to feel the kind of stress that’s been put on you. I hope you and your beautiful family have a great holiday season. Love, Taylor.”

Ms Selewski and Ms Cornwell are only two of people Taylor has donated to this year.

Earlier on in the pandemic Taylor donated to several fans who she found out they were financially struggling, even going so far as paying thousands towards one fan’s college tuition.
