Louis Tomlinson has donated $10,000 to a young fan to help fund her medical care.

Little Rylee Sanford has a rare brain malformation bilateral close-lipped schizencephaly which causes her celebral palsy and her parents recently set up a YouCaring page to help with funds.

The page reveals that Rylee is a massive fan of Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Liam Payne alongside other artists including Taylor Swift.

On Monday, Tomlinson donated a generous $10,000 (£7,000) to the little girl’s page and left a sweet message reading: “Sending lots of love!”

Former One Direction bandmate Malik has also reached out for the cause by sharing a link to the page alongside a photo of the girl on his Twitter account.

The money will be used to allow her parents to adapt their house in alignment with Rylee’s needs and provide the right treatment.
