Beyonce facetimes with teenage cancer patient in a very touching video

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – they don’t call her the Queen for nothing.

When Texas Alief Hastings High School student Ebony Banks was diagnosed with a rare form of stage 4 cancer, she was no longer able to attend school and had to stay in hospital for most of her senior year.

Her family and friends launched a social media campaign with a message using Ebony's nickname, Ebob, and the hashtag #EBOBMEETSBEYONCE to fulfil Banks’ greatest wish of meeting Beyoncé, who is her idol.

The pop sensation eventually found out about it and agreed to facetime with the teenage cancer patient and the result in very touching.

In a clip below from their conversation they can be heard telling each other ‘I love you’:

Beyoncé facetiming with Ebony, a fan with a rare cancer disease whose wish was to meet Beyoncé 😭😭🤧❤ï¸Â ------------------------------------------------ "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 ðŸÂÂðŸ™ÂðŸÂ½
