 Once in a while (more like all the time), Taylor Swift likes to reach out to her fans on a personal level.From interacting with them on Tumblr to sending Christmas presents with handwritten notes, Swift, 25, is all about giving back. But what she did for Naomi, a young girl battling cancer, was life-changing – and once again changed how a company conducts its business.Due to her diagnosis, Naomi was forced to miss Swift's upcoming concert. After hearing about her situation, Swift donated $50,000 to Naomi's GoFundMe campaign "To the beautiful and brave Naomi, I'm sorry you have to miss [my concert], but there will always be more concerts," wrote Swift when giving the donation. "Let's focus on getting you feeling better. I'm sending the biggest hugs to you and your family."Because the site's donation limit was set at $15,000, Swift made four separate donations, totaling $50,000.The company was so inspired by Swift's generosity that it raised the giving limit to match the singer's donation. People can now donate in transactions up to $50,000."Taylor Swift's donation was so generous that it required us to increase the donation limit on the platform," said Rob Solomon, GoFundMe's CEO. "What Ms. Swift has done for Naomi and others can inspire the next generation of giving."Naomi and her family were so blown away with Swift's donation that they posted a video response to thank the singer.This isn't the first time that Swift's influence has caused a company to change its policies. Earlier this summer she wrote an open letter to Apple asking for the company to pay artists during the free trial period of its streaming service. Apple execs took notice of Swift's concerns and complied with her demands ||||| On July 7th, a young girl battling cancer named Naomi got a huge surprise when her favorite singer, Taylor Swift, donated $50,000 to her GoFundMe campaign.

 The mega-star donated $50,000 to Naomi Oakes, a 11-year-old girl battling leukemia. Her family posted a Youtube video on June 5, showing Naomi singing along to Swift's hit (and her fight song) "Bad Blood." Unfortunately, she has to miss the singer's concert in Phoenix next month due to extensive treatment. Naomi is expected to spend six to nine months in the hospital. 
 
 
 
 
 
 Swift saw the video and donated to a GoFundMe page set up for the girl's medical expenses. She wrote, "To the beautiful and brave Naomi, I'm sorry you have to miss it, but there will always be more concerts. Let's focus on getting you feeling better. I'm sending the biggest hugs to you and your family." 
 
 
 
 Swift's donation left Naomi speechless!
– When Taylor Swift heard that Naomi, one of her young fans, had to miss her concert because she had been diagnosed with cancer, Swift jumped onto Naomi's GoFundMe page and promptly donated $50,000, People reports. "To the beautiful and brave Naomi, I'm sorry you have to miss [my concert], but there will always be more concerts," she wrote. "Let's focus on getting you feeling better." But because the site caps donations at $15,000, the singer had to carry out four separate transactions—a limit that's now been lifted after GoFundMe got word of Taylor's gesture. "Taylor Swift's donation was so generous that it required us to increase the donation limit on the platform," CEO Rob Solomon said in a release, noting that now the max users can give in one pop is $50,000. He adds that Swift has given more to various GoFundMe campaigns than any other donor in the site's history. As for how Naomi felt about her idol's donation—well, you can see her reaction in this video. (Taylor recently got Apple to bow down before her, too.)
