Taylor Swift has donated $100,000 to a GoFundMe page set up for the family of the woman killed in a mass shooting in Kansas earlier this week.
Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a radio DJ at Kansas City’s KKFI-FM, died Wednesday after a shooting at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs parade.
A memorial page for Lopez-Galvan was set up yesterday to raise $75,000 for her family and Swift donated two sets of $50,000 in the early hours of Friday to bring the number way over its target. At the time of writing, the page has hit more than $173,000.
“Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift,” wrote the singer. Deadline has reached out to her reps for further comment.
Lopez-Galvan, the host of KKFI’s Taste of Tejano, was one of hundreds of thousands who attended the rally celebrating the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win when a gunman opened fire.
A total of 21 others were wounded in the incident, including three Lopez-Galvan family members.
The GoFundMe page reads: “This fund has been set up to benefit the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan. Lisa was celebrating the Chiefs Super Bowl Victory parade when senselessly killed.
“She is survived by two children and her husband of 22 years. She was an amazing mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend to so many. We ask that you continue to keep her family in your prayers as we grieve the loss of her life. This fund will help provide vital financial support to her family as they process this unthinkable tragedy. Any amount is appreciated.”
