Millions in Donations for Tornado Relief Efforts

Many donations have been coming into the city of Nashville for those affected by the recent tornadoes. There was a telethon last night that raised almost $400,000. Kid Rock donated $75,000. Today I read that Taylor Swift and the Titans (Nashville's NFL football team) both have donated $1 Million dollars each. Amazing to see the community come together during this tragedy where some have lost everything.
Taylor Swift is donating $1 million to tornado relief efforts in Middle Tennessee, where deadly storms ravaged counties this week, including in Nashville.

That is wonderful. The area is lucky to be home to so many wealthy country music stars, not that Taylor is, but those are her roots.

@CarolDM I first heard about it from Tayla's site (Loretta Lynn's granddaughter.) I follow them and she posted the devastation. Just awful.

It is always refreshing to see people doing good things like this. Because so often we only hear about the bad stuff. There were a bunch of country stars who were also making similar efforts. I applaud all of them.
