Kennedy Brown, a 15-year-old terminally ill cancer patient,
a native of Houston Texas has been battling brain cancer since she was
diagnosed with the disease just two years ago, and when faced with fear that
her time was running out, her classmates arranged for her to get the full high
school experience by throwing her a surprise prom and crowning her prom queen.
They also made sure the courageous young girl received an honorary diploma in a
private graduation ceremony. But there was still one special wish Kennedy
wanted to come true — meeting Drake.
Last week, a social media campaign was launched to get
Drake’s attention with the hashtag #DrakeForKen. One student wrote to Drake:
“Hi. I am a student at
Carnegie Vanguard High School in Houston, Texas. A friend of mine has a serious
case of terminal brain cancer that she has been battling for a year and a half
now. Just recently, she has gotten much
worse. On Monday, we will be celebrating
her life, and because she is only a freshman, we will be giving her the entire
high school experience in one day (prom, graduation, etc.) She is your biggest fan, and it would mean so
much to her if you could come meet her or at least send something. We aren’t sure how much time she has left;
she has been in hospice and is immobilized.
Please help! It would mean the world to her and all of us. Thank you
#Drakeforken”
A day or so after the campaign was launched to get Drake’s
attention, an update was given that he had gotten the message and was in the
process of recording a message for her.
On Saturday, Drake flew out to Houston to meet Kennedy and she
was smiling from ear to ear! The fact that this happened so quickly…how can you
not love this guy?
