Taylor Swift has donated $15k to a family that has been left devastated by a horrific car crash after being moved by their touching story.
The ‘Bad Blood’ hitmaker gifted the huge sum to the VanRiper family’s fundraising page on the website, GoFundMe after hearing that volunteer fire fighter, Aaron VanRiper had to fight to save the lives of his own family after responding to a 911 call about a head-on car collision.
Aaron was called to the scene in Riverside, Texas on the weekend when the car in which his wife, Amber VanRiper and son, Jonathan ‘Bear’ were travelling crashed into a pickup truck.
He said: ‘My wife was laying there on the ground. The look of the car, I don’t know how either one of them lived. There was nothing left of that car.’
Despite being freed from the vehicle by her husband, Amber remains in critical condition after undergoing nine hours of surgery on her pelvis, which was broken in five places according to Houston and Southeast Texas’ KTRK News.
The page has so far raised an amazing $99,435 of it’s $125,000 target after receiving donations from over 2,000 people in the past four days.
