A mother of three swiftly took it upon herself to help teens who hydroplaned during a rainstorm in Rhode Island and were then struck by a car. Now one of music's biggest names is ready to help her.
According to recent donations sent to a GoFundMe page supporting Ashley Taunton, Taylor Swift seemingly contributed $50,000 to the 42-year-old certified nursing ***** istant from Connecticut, who was severely injured while driving on I-95 South in Rhode Island on July 18. While she helped a group of teens on the side of the road, another vehicle hydroplaned and hurtled directly toward them.
"Wishing you the best recovery possible and sending love to your family!" reads a comment left by Swift on Aug. 28.
"In a split-second act of pure bravery, Ashley pushed the other person out of harm's way, taking the brunt of the impact herself," the GoFundMe description reads. "Because of her selfless courage, Ashley is now facing a very long and difficult road to recovery. She has already undergone two major surgeries in the last 18 hours alone, with more scheduled in the days ahead."
The fundraiser is going toward medical expenses not covered by insurance, daily household bills and expenses, gas and travel costs for commuting back and forth to the hospital and groceries for Taunton's three children.
