Taylor Swift has been named the most charitable celebrity three years running by DoSomething.org, and it’s really no surprise why, considering what she’s done now.

The star has shocked a Texan family after being so moved by the story of their horrific car accident that she donated a whopping $15,000 to their fundraising page.

Firefighter Aaron VanRiper responded to a 911 call involving a head-on car collision, but once he arrived at the scene he realised that the accident involved his own family, leaving him to save them from the terrible crash.

According to KTRK, his wife Amber is now in a critical condition after having nine hours of surgery, and son Jonathan is dealing with a broken arm and leg.

After a friend set up a fundraising page for the family, asking for donations to help ‘excessive medical bills and lack of funds that will come in over the next year’, Taylor obviously saw the shocking news, and offered a very generous donation.

Speaking of the crash, firefighter Aaron explained: “It’s my family. My wife was laying there on the ground. I don’t know how either one of them lived. There was nothing left of that car.”

And while he added that he ‘doesn’t want anything for free’, clearly the story struck a chord with Taylor, and with the help of her donation, the family has now raised over $88,000 of their $125,000 goal.
