Beyonce made the wish of one of her biggest fans come true this week when she surprise face timed her.

Ebony Banks is a senior at Alief Hastings High School in Houston, who is battling stage four cancer. Her biggest wish was to meet Beyonce, so Ebony’s friends launched a social media campaign using the hashtag #EBOBMEETSBEYONCE (“EBOB” is her nickname) to make her wish come true.

Within just days the campaign went viral and word got to Beyonce, who surprised Ebony with a one on one convo via Facetime. Get into the heartfelt moment below.

Beyoncé facetiming with Ebony, a fan with a rare cancer disease whose wish was to meet Beyoncé ???❤️ ———————————————— “High school student Ebony Banks, who has stage four cancer, had her dream came true Wednesday when she received a FaceTime call from her hero, Beyoncé. Banks — who attends Alief Hastings High School in Houston, Texas — has spent most of her senior year at MD Anderson Cancer Center fighting a rare stage four cancer, according to KIAH, a local news station. Earlier this month, the school district held a special early graduation ceremony for Banks, whose nickname is “Ebob,” in the hospital. And as the ultimate graduation present, Banks’ friends and classmates created the hashtag #EBOBMEETSBEYONCE on social media so that she could meet with Beyoncé in an effort to help make one of her biggest dreams come true.” “Beyonce is one of her idols. She admires her so much, so we’re trying to put that on Twitter and Instagram to get Beyonce’s attention,” said Gutierrez. ————————————————–God Bless you, Ebony! We’re praying for you beautiful! #BeyHive ???
