Little 8-year-old Delaney Brown is terminally ill, having been diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia in May. Delaney wanted just one thing, for lots of people to come to her house and sing her Christmas carols, to make the Christmas season special.
She got her wish and the following video is a testament to the human spirit — with thousands of people coming together to sing her songs. The outpouring of support from the community was strong but Delaney also got to video chat with her favorite music superstar, Taylor Swift.
