A generous donation of Taylor Swift concert tickets and kindness from a total stranger are bringing in thousands of dollars for a charity in St. John s, N.L.
Kristi Allan loves Taylor Swift, and she loves the Jacob Puddister Memorial Foundation, too. When she put both of them together, it resulted in the biggest fundraiser the group which provides counselling and other services in Newfoundland and Labrador has ever seen.
When its wait-list was opened on March 1, the Jacob Puddister Memorial Foundation received more than 100 requests for counselling within six hours. The demand, says director Kelsey Puddister, has stayed consistently high every since the organization first saw a surge in March 2022, causing it to temporarily close its wait-list.
