Taylor Swift changed one family’s life when they needed it most.
Swift, 35, donated $100,000 to a GoFundMe page to help a toddler fight cancer, her mom shared via social media.
2-Year-Old Lilah Is Fighting Cancer
Lilah — who was just 18 months old at the time — was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer in February.
“There were only 58 documented cases in the U.S. last year,” Lilah’s GoFundMe profile — which was set up by her aunt in March — reads. “She will be admitted to the hospital, and she will have 3 months of chemo and 3 months of stem cell treatment. They will be living at the hospital for 4 weeks at a time while she is getting her treatments.”
Lilah’s aunt pleaded with friends and family to “help us lessen the burden on their expenses so they can focus on taking care of their baby girl, Lilah!”
The toddler turned two in August, and her family celebrated while in the hospital.
With a goal of $100,000, the “Life of a Showgirl” singer paid it off in full with the click of a button.
“Sending the biggest hug to my friend, Lilah! Love, Taylor,” her message read.
Lilah’s Family Thanks Taylor Swift for the Generous Gift
Lilah’s mom, Katelynn, shared the life-changing news via TikTok as she danced around the hospital room with her daughter.
“Taylor Swift is my friend,” Lilah said before the mother-daughter duo danced to “Ophelia.”
Katelynn thanks the pop star, writing, “We now can just focus on being here with our girl.”
“I cannot say thank you enough. I’m truly in shock,” she captioned the video. “This means we don’t have to worry about anything other than Lilah. Truly such a blessing. Thank you @Taylor Swift.”
Swifties united in the days since the massive gift, with hundreds donating $13 in honor of the singer.
“Every time I open my phone, I cry. Thank you all so much!” Katelynn shared in a follow-up video, as Swift fans nearly doubled the family’s goal. “You have absolutely no idea what this means to us!”
Taylor Swift Has a History of GoFundMe Donations
Lilah and Katelynn’s story isn’t the first time Swift has been named in the same sentence as a GoFundMe miracle. The singer’s pal Ruby Rose recently revealed that the singer used to use GoFundMe like Instagram.
“She used to scroll go fund me like a social media app. Clicking ‘reach their donation’ like the ‘like’ button,” the “Orange Is the New Black” actress responded to a social media comment criticizing the “So High School” artist.
