Taylor Swift recently joined hands with her mother and decided to make a joint donation for a widow named Vicki Quarles.
According to People magazine, the campaign to support the grieving family was set up on GoFundMe by DeQuanda Smith and its description read, "When the paramedics arrived to the Quarles' home to transport Theodis to the hospital for breathing difficulties, Vicki wasn't allowed to accompany her husband due to quarantine restrictions.”
“Little did she know that this would be her final engagement with her [husband and] best friend. She later received a call from the hospital that Theodis had [succumbed] to this awful virus."
"Theodis' transition will forever leave a void on the Quarles team. Alyssa, Anaya, Asia, Allie and Aryah will miss him at breakfast, at their class plays, proms, recitals, graduations, college entries ... and ultimately their weddings."
"I decided to launch this GoFundMe initiative in support of Vicki and her girls to offer financial relief and [reduce their family's] worry from things associated with basic immediate needs as well as for their continued growth, goals and [aspirations]."
"I am confident that their father, Theodis Ray Quarles, will be smiling from heaven when his little teacher, doctor, CEO, nurse or entrepreneur makes her mark in the world. As the Lord leads Vicki to shepherd them to their destinies, your donation is most appreciated in championing this family to the finish line."
