Taylor Swift has donated 5 million dollars, equivalent to approximately 78 billion rupiah, to help communities affected by Storms Helene and Milton in Florida, United States. This donation is channeled to Feeding America, a nonprofit organization committed to ending hunger in the country.

The CEO of Feeding America, Babineaux-Fontenot, expressed her gratitude to Taylor Swift via Instagram on Thursday, October 10, 2024. She appreciated the generous donation that will support post-disaster recovery efforts.

The contribution from the 34-year-old singer-songwriter will be used to meet various needs of the affected communities. Babineaux-Fontenot added that this aid will help communities rebuild their lives, by providing staple foods, clean water, and essential supplies for those impacted by the disaster.

Hurricane Milton hit the Gulf Coast of Florida on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, causing severe damage in an area that had not yet recovered from Hurricane Helene two weeks earlier.

This hurricane resulted in 200 deaths and created tornadoes that destroyed homes and cut off power for nearly 2 million customers.

Although Floridians are accustomed to facing hurricanes, many officials warned that Milton could be the worst storm. The U.S. National Hurricane Center stated that this storm has the potential to inundate low-lying areas with dangerous waves.
