Taylor Swift donates to a young girl to help her become a mathematician

 Taylor Swift Is on the 2019 TIME 100 List | Time.com




Taylor Swift has made an impromptu donation of  £23,000 to a London-based student struggling to raise the funds to take up a maths course at the University of Warwick.

Vitoria Mario's online fundraising page details how she has lived in the UK for four years after moving from Portugal. At the time the Wildest Dream singer made her donation Vitoria had collected half of her £40,000 fund raising target.

But she is not eligible for maintenance loans or grants.

Vitoria said: "I was worrying too much about the money, what I have to do and if I have to look for a job. She actually made my dream come true."

The American singer, wrote a message on Vitoria's fundraising page as she confirmed her donation as Swift wrote: "Vitoria, I came across your story online and am so inspired by your drive and dedication to turning your dreams into reality.

"I want to gift you the rest of your goal amount. Good luck with everything you do! Love, Taylor."

Vitoria said her family could not afford to support her and she needed funds to help pay for her accommodation, a laptop, textbooks and general living costs. She said the approach from Swift had "come out of the blue".

The 18-year-old had written on her page: "Though my story is not unique, my dream of becoming a mathematician is not only a chance at social mobility for my family and I, but to inspire people who have been in similar positions to aspire to be the best version of themselves."

She added that she has always been "studious" and was unable to speak English when she moved to the UK in 2016.To follow her dream to be a mathematician Vitoria left her mother in Portugal to move to UK.

"Moving away from her was a challenge but it was a sacrifice worth being made in my family's eyes," she added.

She estimated she would need £24,000 for accommodation, £3,000 for equipment and £13,000 for general living costs including food, transport, gas and electricity.

Despite that disadvantage, she left school with two A*s and an A in her A-levels.

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

Image
40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina. She revealed this on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in a heart to heart talk with the husband Will Smith. She said it happened while the 2 were separated.          "We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship."
