Ebony, who attends Alief Hasting High School in Beyonce’s hometown of Houston, Texas is batting a rare form of stage four cancer according to local news outlet KIAH.

Earlier this month, the school held a special graduation ceremony for Ebony alongside family and friends inside of the Houston facility.

This is not the first time Beyoncé has made a dying fan's wish come true. In 2009, Blue Ivy’s mum pulled Australian cancer patient Chelsea Lee James on stage and sang Halo to her during a show in Sydney at the Acer Arena. Chelsea, who passed away in April 2014, hugged the star and cried as she performed the song in her honour. Beyoncé was reunited with Chelsea again in 2013, during a backstage meeting at the Mrs. Carter World Tour. After the show, Beyonce sent a special text to Chelsea and her family that read: "My beautiful angel! Thank you for the pictures. You have no idea how happy you made me seeing you. I will see you next time I’m in Australia. Love, Beyonce."
