Stranger Donates Taylor Swift Tickets To Girl After She Is Scammed

13-year-old Elsa Wiemerslage and her Illinois family were scammed out of almost $1,000 trying to buy tickets to a Taylor Swift concert. But this was just the latest in long line of issues for the family. For eight years, Elsa has been battling leukemia and recently experienced kidney failure as a side effect of her treatment. Elsa discovered a connection to Taylor's music during her third kidney transplant. Certainly, being able to see her favorite artist in concert was going to be a sweet reward, but it didn't look like it would happen.

Then, Frank Mackey stepped in. After receiving a life-saving kidney transplant last week, Frank knew all too well the bodily pain Elsa was going through. When he learned that the teen wasn’t going to be able to go to the Swift concert, he bought tickets for one of the shows in Kansas City and gave them to Elsa.

A few days before the concert, Elsa found out about Frank's generous gift and then she got to meet him before the show. "He's super sweet, super awesome," Elsa says of Mackey. "I couldn't sleep 'cause I was so excited. I was so excited all day, I just wanted to be at the concert."
