The family of a two-year-old girl named Lilah, who is battling cancer, have spoken out about the effects of a generous donation from Taylor Swift. The girl's mother Katelynn Smoot talked to TMZ about the Karma singer's $100,000 (£74,700) donation to a GoFundMe set up for the toddler. "We had had no communication with Taylor Swift or her team before or after," she shared. "It was like a very silent, 'Let me just drop this here' - and bless our lives!" Smoot continued, "The donation, we just stumbled upon it because my husband decided to refresh the GoFundMe page and just saw it. I don't even know - it's just such a shock. "I posted a video thanking her because I felt like I had to say something about it. It's just such a large sum. I couldn't just let it sit there." Smoot said that after she made her gratitude for Swift public, the Grammy-winner's legion of fans began flooding the GoFundMe with more donations. Lilah is battling a very rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, according to the GoFundMe page set up for her. The total raised currently sits at $325,996 (£243,449).
