Taylor Swift generously donated $50,000 to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to help fund therapy tools for children suffering from cancer. The money will be used for a 'high-tech music therapy' program that promises to soothe and lift the spirits of patients at the centre.
The CEO of the hospital Steven M. Altschuler 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 cancer centre, went on to add: '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.'
According to Splash News the donation was originally made in 2013 but the allocation of the funds has just been publicized.
