He only has a couple of months to live, we need to make his wish come true before it's too late ❤️ pic.twitter.com/R3wPqahE8r
URGENT HELP!
A friend of ours has been given the terrible news that he has only a couple of months left to live. So we desperately need your help!
He is Josh, who has struggled to survive since the day he was born. He has been fighting Leukemia, and at age 15 he was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma multiforme. You have had two brain surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy. After his first surgery he was paralyzed from the bottom of one side of his body, needing 24-hour care and a wheelchair. He is only 17 years old!
His only desire is to meet or at least receive a message addressed to him from some actors, specifically from the Marvel actors. It would be best to contact Ryan Reynolds or someone from the Deadpool cast, as this is his favorite character.
I wouldn't normally ask for something like that, but he and his family are going through a lot of pain. If someone could help me contact someone who could get the attention of celebrities, it would mean everything to me. And for him and his family!
Please comment, like and share as much as you can. A couple of months is not much time, so let's try to make it possible. We can do it!
And as we have seen in other similar cases, the Internet responded. His post has been retweeted more than 173,000 times and fortunately, he managed to reach the person they were waiting for: Ryan Reynolds, the actor behind Deadpool.
Through an account that his parents made to publish updates about his illness, they shared the emotional video that the actor sent to Josh, in which he sends his love and support:

"After hearing about you and knowing your story and everything you've been through, I think it's a fact that you have more courage and strength in your little finger, than any superhero in your entire body"says Ryan Reynolds, admiring Josh's bravery.
But the support of other people continued and not only did he send a message of support, but more videos of other Marvel actors, such as Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine in the X-Men saga began to arrive. Chris Evans, Captain America of The Avengers.

Their message is one full of love and support, in which they show that the admiration is also directed by Marvel superheroes towards Josh.
Little ones gestures of kindness like these seem to be small, but in reality they have a much greater impact than we think: One study found that fulfilling the wishes of sick children helps generate more positive emotions, at a time when they may feel overwhelmed by loneliness or depression.
No doubt these superheroes have come to his call, and They have given a boy what he so longed for: the support and love of the characters he admires so much.
