Taylor Swift donated $50,000 to little girl Naomi Oakes – who is fighting a serious illness.
Naomi Oakes is an 11-year-old girl who was just diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on June 25. According to doctors, Naomi needs 6-9 months of continuous treatment in the hospital to achieve positive results. Therefore, she will not be able to go with her close friends to Taylor Swift ‘s show in Phoenix on August 18 as planned. As a loyal fan of Taylor Swift, Naomi Oakes chose her idol’s song Bad Blood to cheer her up before the battle against the evil disease.
Naomi’s family made a special video telling the story and her love for Taylor Swift with the hope of receiving encouragement from the beautiful female singer. And thanks to Taylor’s fan community called Taylor Nation, Naomi Oakes’ message reached her idol.
2 days after the video was posted on YouTube, Taylor Swift generously donated $50,000 to Naomi through the GoFundMe fund with the wish: “To the beautiful and brave Naomi, I’m so sorry to hear that you will pass away.” I had to miss the show but I still have many other opportunities. Now let’s focus on treatment. I want to send you and your family tight and warm hugs.”
