In addition, a local non-profit organization called “Jamie’s Dream Team” has stepped up to help Aubrey’s “dream” of seeing Taylor Swift in concert become a reality.

“Aubrey is strong and deserves anything she wants or anyone that can give her,” said Jamie, founder of Jamie’s Dream Team, a nonprofit that helps people in need achieve their dreams. Ward said in an interview with CBS affiliate KDKA.

In addition to getting tickets to see Swift in Indianapolis this November, Aubrey and her mother will also be traveling to Disney World.

“I just wish Taylor would have met with this girl while she was in Indianapolis or given her a hat, something,” Ward told WPXI. “Let her know she is loved by the one she loves.”

The fatal car accident occurred at around 12:30 a.m. local time on July 20.
