Lorde, who was recently spotted attending a concert with Taylor Swift, donated $10,000 to a family in New Zealand. Devora Busch, her beau Richard Barry (who is unemployed due to hearing impairment) and their three children are struggling to make a living. Their home is under repair and the family is paying rent to live at another place. Devora and Richard’s daughter, Rheegan, is autistic and suffers from pica, an urge to eat non-food items, according to JustJared.com.
A relative of the family started a page to raise funds. That’s when Lorde decided to help. “Sending best wishes and love to you and your parents, Rhee,” the 19-year-old singer said. “What an amazing young woman she is. There’s no personal connection so I’m very humbled that she would think of us,” Devora told WomansDay.com.
