Justin Bieber Proposes to 8-year old Girl; Breaks Make-A-Wish Record with 200th Meeting
Looks like 19-year old pop superstar Justin Bieber has taken a break from giving his fans not-so good news about him.
Bieber granted 8-year old Annalysha Brown-Rafanan's wish on August 10 by allowing her to meet him backstage after the pop star's Atlanta concert. According to ET News, Brown-Rafanan first knew that she would meet her idol on Christmas day of 2012. She was also very excited to know that she will be watching his concert in Atlanta, GA.
"Justin Bieber makes her happy, and through all her illness and poking and all that, it just takes away from 'I'm sick,'" said the young girl's mom, Contrina Brown, in a report by ET News. Brown-Rafanan suffers from a life threatening liver condition.
Bieber and the young girl enjoyed a good conversation during the meet. The young girl spent much of her time asking her idol everything she wanted to know about him. According to New York Daily News, Brown-Rafanan asked JB what his favorite song was and where his favorite place to travel was. Huffington Post says the young girl even asked Bieber about him having to wear make-up to which the pop star responded with "that's one of the most emasculating things for me."
The young girl reportedly proposed to Bieber during their meeting with a Ring Pop. The pop star responded "I'm supposed to ask you," then dropped on one knee to place the ring on her finger, reports Yahoo! news. The girl was also granted her first kiss on the cheek.
Bieber is the first recording artist to have granted 200 wishes via Make a Wish Foundation. According to the foundation's official website, Bieber has been granting wishes ever since 2009. The first wish he ever granted was in Los Angeles, California.
David Williams, President and CEO of Make a Wish America said in the foundation's website:
"Despite his relentless schedule, Justin has been genuinely committed to granting wishes since the very beginning and a strong supporter of Make-A-Wish. Justin understands the impact on a child of a wish-come-true and how it can create positive changes in their outlook, help them feel better, and even influence their health."
