Carrie Underwood knows what it means to suffer from unexpected injury, so she unsurprisingly showed her heart of gold when she recently donated $10,000 to an injured Oklahoma police officer.
As it turns out, the donation was made under her married name, Carrie Fisher, to a GoFundMe page for the officer, who was injured in a rollover crash, which left him with a broken neck. On February 11, Checotah Assistant Police Chief Justin Durrett’s truck slid off the road, crashed and ejected him from the vehicle. In addition to his broken neck, Durrett suffered a bruised spine and multiple gashes on his head. He is still in the Intensive Care Unit and cannot feel anything from his chest down.
“Any donations are greatly appreciated,” the donation page reads. “I know Justin and his family could use the extra help not even just financially, if u don’t have please share and just say a prayer. He is loved by many because he has loved everyone so much the love pours out when we see people praying for him.”
According to KOMO News, Underwood happens to be a childhood friend of the Durrrets family and even attended the same church together. At time of press, the campaign had raised $17,430 towards its $20,000 goal.
