Jaime King reveals son’s secret surgery ordeal following godmother Taylor Swift’s ‘incredible donation’
She recently made a massive donation to the Louisiana Flood Relief fund, but Taylor Swift’s latest gesture comes much closer to home.
Actress Jaime King has taken to Instagram to thank Swift – the godmother of her youngest son, one-year-old Leo – for making a generous donation in honour of her little one, who battled a heart condition at birth.
The 37-year-old Hart of Dixie star – who is also mum to two-year-old James – explained: “At 20 weeks our son was diagnosed with Transposition of the Great Arteries…He had a major heart surgery that was terrifying and traumatic for us as parents, for our family. Only a few of our best friends knew.”
As the letter from Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in LA shows, Shake It Off singer Taylor recently made ‘an incredible donation’ to the people who saved little Leo’s life.
The gesture sparked a realisation for Jaime and her husband, Kyle Newman – it was time to speak out about their experience.
“Silence cannot connect other parents and people going through these issues…Our gift back is to share our story that anyone that is going through this is not alone. We understand and want to stand up to bring awareness in the greatest way possible,” Jaime added.
