A GoFundMe page set up for the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, the woman killed in the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade, has caught the attention of Taylor Swift.

Swift made donations on the Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan Memorial page totaling $100,000 early Friday morning.

Along with the donation was a note that said, “Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift”

When Swift donated, the page was almost at its $75,000 goal. As of 7:30 a.m. Friday, the page has reached $183,648.

Around 1,300 people had made donations when Swift pushed the total beyond the goal in the early hours of Friday morning, first making a donation of $50,000 and then making a second donation of $50,000 eight minutes later.

Swift’s team confirmed to Variety that the donations by the singer appearing on the page were hers. 💕😘

NATIONAL CAREGIVERS DAY

National Caregivers Day on the third Friday in February honors the healthcare professionals across the country providing long-term and hospice care.

National Caregivers Day

Around the nation, dedicated healthcare professionals serve those who require long-term or hospice care. They provide vital services, reassuring patients and the families who care about them. Often loved ones require care we are unable to provide due to our inability physically or not having the skills or means to provide the care. Expert caregivers are trained to provide round-the-clock services in safe environments. Their care enables the family to focus on their loved one’s healing process. In hospice care, a caregiver allows the family to spend time with their loved one without worrying about medical responsibilities.

Caregivers deliver a variety of duties from personal care to medical services with compassion and professionalism. Their days may be long and demanding, but they provide support to those who need it most.

The celebration recognizes caregivers who provide quality, compassionate care every day.

Sheba, Congratulations on 10 years. You are awesome, and loved here and your thread is a reflection of you, your insight and artistry. ♥
What happened at the Parade is beyond awful. It’s hard to imagine and it hits so close to you as well. Glad your hubs and son are home,

Xango, wise post to Sheba.

I hope you are feeling better from this morning. Scary stuff yesterday. I’m sure this will be a very special Lent and Easter for you.🙏 The good Lord was watching over you and your family.

Getting chilly tomorrow, may have some snow Friday night into Saturday.🥶❄ Mom and sis leaving just in time. Have an electrician coming tomorrow to add a line and switch.

Spent the day with mom and sis since I haven’t seen them for almost a month with being sick.😣 Didn’t want them to catch anything before the trip.

Here’s to a brighter tomorrow, hugs and love to you, hubs, son and Poppy.🤗💖

Hello my friend 🌹🌹🌹
Having read your thread over some years now, I know you are no Debbie Downer. You are a really strong person and on top of that a Leo with passion and experience.
Your thread is so very important to many of us, and you inform us on lots of items we may want to purchase. As for myself, I have purchased many of the items you bring to our attention. I don’t necessary comment on everything I buy here.
I truly appreciate the work you do here. ♥️♥️♥️

What happened yesterday was dramatic, let alone having your husband and son attending the function is very upsetting. You need time to get back your thoughts, and nerves the way it was before give yourself time.

Family in Brazil are well, Carnaval has ended and Lent has stated. Don’t remember if I told you, I have a cousin that’s a priest. He’s in his fifties, he has studied and lived in Italy for several years, went back to Brazil several years ago. I met him in Brazil back in 2009.

Another cousin that is also evolved in the Catholic church. She works with children, gives lessons and teaches.
My niece, the mother of the one who still start college soon, she also is evolved in the Catholic church. However, she works full time and volunteer her time to the church some evenings and Saturdays.

Well looks like we here are going to get some cool days and chilly nights next week and then warming up again.

Take care Sheba 🌹🌹♥️♥️🌹🌹
