Singer Taylor Swift is definitely a contender for good deed of the day as she has donated $50,000 (€37,000) to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
The money will be used to help fund therapy tools for children who have cancer, and it is hoped the “high-tech” therapy will help lift their spirits.
Steven M. Altschuler, CEO of the hospital, stated: “Taylor Swift’s gift will help lift the spirits of many patients during a difficult time.
“Taylor Swift’s music is an inspiration to so many of our teen patients”.
Lamia Barakat, director of the Psychosocial Services Program at the children’s cancer centre, added: “We can think of no better way to use her gift than to grow our Adolescent and Young Adult initiative designed to support the emotional well-being of our teens with cancer.’
It is thought the donation was made in 2013 but it is only now that the news has been publicised, according to reports from Splash News.
Twenty four-year-old Taylor is currently on her worldwide Red tour which continues until the middle of this month.
