Taylor Swift is sending a message in a bottle after a stranger’s act of kindness.
After Connecticut mom Ashley Taunton was severely injured in a car accident following a selfless act, the Grammy winner publicly shared her support by donating $50,000 to a GoFundMe page organized to help with the cost of her recovery, E! News can confirm.
Swift sent a sweet message on the fundraiser’s page alongside her donation, writing on Aug. 28, “Wishing you the best recovery possible and sending love to your family! Taylor.”
According to the GoFundMe—which was set up by Taunton’s family friend Laura Ortelt—the mom of three was recently involved in a tragic accident after she intervened to help others who had been in a car crash on a highway.
“On Saturday, July 18th, during a severe rainstorm on I-95, Ashley did what she always does: she put others before herself,” Ortelt wrote. “Seeing someone in urgent need after a car accident, she pulled over to help. As [Taunton’s husband Joe] so perfectly puts it, it was just ‘Ashley doing Ashley things.’”
