A mental health advocate in Newfoundland has launched a fundraiser that's been successful beyond her wildest dreams, pairing her favorite foundation with tickets to see her favorite artist, Taylor Swift. Kristi Allan found two tickets to the opening night of the Toronto edition of the Eras Tour on Nov. 14 on eBay and messaged the seller, saying she'd be grateful if he would sell them for a good cause. Allan raises money for the Jacob Puddister Memorial Foundation, which provides free counseling and peer support services to people between 12 and 35. The foundation is selling about 2,000 tickets for the grand prize. Allan said demand has been so high, her email inbox has crashed several times. "Kristi has helped us more as an individual than I could ever even imagine," said Jacob’s sister, Kelsey.
