Beyoncé Knowles
We all know Beyonce is a famous Hollywood celebrity who’s an advocate for various charities and foundations. The most notable one is the Survivor Foundation which she co-founded with Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland. The primary purpose of this foundation is to help survivors of Hurricane Katrina to start a new life and get back on their feet again. What you probably didn’t know is that Beyonce also helped a random teen fan by living a warm message for her graduation.
The teen’s name is Ebony Banks and according to her friends, she missed her graduation because she caught a rare form of cancer that enabled her to stay and get admitted in a hospital. Fortunately, the University of Houston organized a special graduation ceremony in her honor. Her friends then started using the hashtag #ebobmeetsbeyonce to give her a present which caught the singer’s attention. You can see how happy the teen was when Beyonce greeted and told her she loves her.
Kristen Bell Calls Her Young Fan as Princess Anna

Robert Downey Jr. Gives 3d-Printed Bionic Arm to his Young Fan
We know Tony Stark as a scientist who loves to invent devices and weapons that help him save the mankind and become the legendary Iron Man. And it seems that its actor, Robert Downey Jr., had inherited his character’s trait because he gave his young fan a bionic arm. This fan of his, Alex Pring, was born with the underdeveloped left arm. Because of this handicap, Pring’s family was working with Limitless Solution to create a prosthetic arm for him. Fortunately, Robert knew this and instead, he partnered with the company to develop and present the prosthetic arm to him with no cost for his family at all. The kid was simply happy because Downey Jr. presented him, two models, one was a normal human prosthetic arm and the other was an arm with Iron Man’s design.
Memphis Grizzlies Buys a New Car For an Intern
You might think that the new intern was just lucky to get a luxurious car from Memphis himself, but once you hear his story, you’ll probably think he actually deserved it. Why?

One could never fathom the trauma or even the thought of getting involved in that kind of accident. Fortunately, Memphis helped him overcome his loss when Memphis and the other NBA team members chipped in and bought a new Nissan Altima for him. Brandon was all smiles now as he remembers the gratitude he felt for the team. He can hardly remember that he lost his car.
