STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (AP) — A teenager fighting advanced bone cancer received a visit from his favorite rapper and got to exchange messages with a superhero.
The Staten Island Advance reports rapper Joyner Lucas went to Staten Island University Hospital to spend time with 14-year-old Jonathan Morales.
Morales was diagnosed last year with Stage 4 osteosarcoma and will have to undergo two major surgeries over the next two months.
Lucas gave him a necklace calling him “an inspiration.”
Morales had a week of surprises including a private screening of his favorite movie, “Avengers: Endgame,” and a video message from Robert Downey Jr. who played Iron Man.
Downey asked Morales if he liked the movie and asked him to send a video back.
Gloria Morales says words cannot express what the surprises have done for her son.
