Taylor Swift and Her Mother Donate $50,000 in Support of a Man with Five Kids who Passed Away Due to COVID-19

Singer Taylor Swift continues to make a difference in people’s lives with her kind and giving heart.

She, along with her mother Andrea Swift made a joint donation of $50,000 in support of Vicki Quarles who lost her husband, Theodis Ray Quarles owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. It happened a week before Christmas as confirmed by her close friend, DeQuanda Smith who is also responsible for organizing the GoFundMe fundraiser.

The donation by the 31-year-old singer and her 63-year-old mother helped reached the goal of $50,000. The fundraiser was organized on December 22. As of now, the fund has raised an amount of $61,268.

Theodis Ray is survived by his wife Vicki and their five daughters Alyssa, Anaya, Asia, Allie, and Aryah.

Smith wrote about the sad demise saying, “When the paramedics arrived at 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.” She also went on to add, “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.”

The friend continued, “The supportive friend continued her heartfelt message, writing, “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].”

She warmly writes, “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.”

The contribution by Taylor Swift will be fondly remembered by the family.
