Taylor Swift's Hospital Visit Triggers Wave of Donations to 3 Young Patients

Taylor Swift's proving that just showing up goes a long, long way.

Just days after her visit last week to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, FL., a surge of donations have hit GoFundMe accounts launched for three young patients who find themselves in the battle of their tiny lives.

After Swift visited a handful of patients at the hospital, photos and videos of the visit quickly started circulating social media, prompting Swifties to start fundraisers for the young patients or find, share and donate to the GoFundMe accounts.

One of those patients is 7-year-old Majesty, who five years ago underwent a heart transplant. She was born with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and diagnosed with Noonan syndrome, which is a genetic condition that causes heart problems in a child. 

"We as parents try our best to make sure she doesn’t look like what she goes through," the fundraiser states. "She is truly an amazing little Princess. She loves to dress up and go places. She loves princess dresses and glittery things." 

Swifties soon flooded Majesty's GoFundMe with $13 donations, Swift's favorite number. The fundraiser has so far raised more than $14,000 of its $24,000 goal.

Then there's Zoe, who has been battling neuroblastoma for almost seven years. Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer in children. According to her GoFundMe, Zoe is "a brave and resilient 10 year-old girl."

"Despite her young age, Zoe has faced countless treatments, hospital visits, surgeries and medical challenges with incredible strength," the fundraiser states. "Her journey has been long and difficult, but she continues to inspire everyone around her with her courage and positive spirit."

Aaliyah is 2 years old and battling brain cancer. Swift posed for a photo with Aaliyah's mom alongside the child's hospital bed. In her very young life, Aaliyah has already undergone brain surgery to remove a tumor. She'll undergoing chemo for the next six months, all the while Aaliyah's mom's boyfriend takes care of their 11-year-old daughter, 9-year-old son and 5-month old daughter at home.

"They are in good hands, but it ain't mama taking care of them, so it's not the same," the fundraiser states. "Having to pay for medical bills, traveling, food, rent, and utilities while still trying to make my baby girl feel at home away from home, things have been difficult."

The fundraiser has raised more than $57,000 of its $100,000 goal.

Swift visited the hospital the day after she and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, attended Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. 

After Swift's visit, Dr. Jill Whitehouse, chief of surgery at the children's hospital, praised Swift for being "undeniably one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting."
