Fox News’ Shannon Bream Gets the Help of the Avengers to Make a Dying Boy’s Wish Come True
While on a flight, Fox News anchor Shannon Bream spoke with a fellow passenger who happened to be the uncle of a dying boy. She’s now helping to grant one of his final wishes.
Bream says the uncle reached out to her after, revealing that his nephew’s condition was terminal and that he wanted to hear from one of the Avengers before he died. Taking to Twitter to share her encounter, Bream relayed Emilio’s request.
Need your help Twitterverse – trying to help a young boy who is dying. He probably has just days and all he want is a greeting from one of the Avengers. If you have a celeb connection, please let me know. Otherwise, could you help out with a RT? Thank you in advance!
