The Jonas Brothers just made a teenage fan’s day when when they surprised her at the hospital after she missed their concert to get chemotherapy treatments.
Lily Jordan, 16, was supposed to see the Jonas Brothers perform in Hershey, Pennsylvania this week, but she instead found herself stuck getting cancer treatments in Penn State Children’s Hospital. Devastated to be missing the concert, Lily made an Instagram post to express her dismay and jokingly invite the Jonas Bros to her hospital room, never expecting that they would actually show up.
“I was supposed to be at your Hershey concert tomorrow but instead I’m across the street doing chemo,” wrote Lily. “If y’all wanted to pop in, I’ll give you my room number.”
Her post quickly went viral, with internet users begging the Jonas Brothers to visit Lily. Even Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry got in on the action.
“Our good friend Lily is fighting for her life in Hershey tonight, and so badly wanted to see the Jonas Brothers tomorrow night at Hershey Park, but can’t because of her urgent treatment,” he wrote on Facebook. “If there is anyway for them to visit her, we are lifting up her hopes and our prayers for help.”
The Jonas Brothers finally saw the posts, and they were all too happy to visit Lily!
“Wow. The power of social media, you guys,” Lily wrote on Instagram after the meeting. “YOU did this. YOU made my crappy chemo session into something incredibly special and unforgettable. Literally made my life.”
