Singer Jon Bon Jovi spent over an hour with a fan, battling cancer, and her family at his restaurant in New Jersey.
The 54-year-old Bon Jovi rocker surprised Carol Cesario, his fans who is battling Stage 4 lung cancer. He signed a guitar, played songs from his upcoming album and took pictures with her, reported Aceshowbiz.
It was Cesario's daughter Rosie Skripkunis who started a campaign on Facebook a month ago.
"This is my mom Carol Cesario. The most loving and caring person you will ever meet," Skripkunis wrote along with a picture of Cesario on a hospital bed. "Her dream is to meet Bon Jovi."
"Since the 80s she has loved him. I remember dancing around our home when I was little to Bon Jovi with her and when I was older rocking out in the car with her on our way to the beach in Seaside Nj. She deserves to have her dream come true so please share this everywhere and help her dream come true."
The star met Cesario and her family at his restaurant, JBJ Soul Kitchen.
"It was a very emotional and amazing day for our whole family and we thank you all so so much," Skripkunis wrote on Facebook. "You have no idea what this meant to us. This is a day we will never forget. Thank you so much for these memories with our mom and her Bons," she wrote.
