Ebony Banks is a Houston high school senior who is currently battling stage 4 cancer. Though the school year isn’t yet over, Banks’ high school granted her one wish, which was to graduate early. It also pulled off another wish with the help of Houston native Beyoncé.
Banks wanted to meet Beyoncé, and with the help of her fellow students at Alief Hastings High School and one simple hashtag, #EbobMeetsBeyonce (Ebob is Banks’ nickname), Banks’ second wish came true.

Beyoncé may not be that active on social media, but it’s safe to say she knows when to answer the call of her fans.
