Two years ago, Louis Tomlinson donated 10k dollars to a little girl named Rylee after former One Direction band member, Zayn Malik, shared her GoFundMe page. Louis then responded to the message saying, “Sending you all the love! Louis x.”
Donate if you can ππ½ Big love to you Rylee ! https://t.co/p1Mti2VsZh pic.twitter.com/1mI5eOt9VR

Rylee is an 11-year-old fan that has a rare condition that causes cerebral palsy, and although she is THANKFUL for Louis Tomlinson’s donation, her dream was to meet him and get a hug. When her family discovered that Louis would be in Atlanta at our event, we have been receiving messages, posts, and many tags about her story on all three of our social media accounts. On Monday, December 2nd, Adam Bomb, our Afternoon Radio Jock contacted Rylee’s sister via Twitter to inform her that she will be attending the event.
Hey Rylee! We have a suprise for you!!!
Youβre gonna meet @Louis_Tomlinson tomorrow! Canβt wait to see ya – @adambombshow https://t.co/xQlkXe7TNB

Meaning that Rylee will FINALLY get what she always wished for, which was to HUG her idol, Louis Tomlinson. Although, Q99.7 Atlanta helped make her dream come true, she still has her Make-A-Wish request. When we asked her what she was going to do with her wish, she said she wants to meet Louis Tomlinson again!!

When Rylee arrived at the event on December 3rd, she was all smiles, and she had a bag packed with TONS of Louis Tomlinson’s merchandise, including drawings, a doll, and an ornament she made. Adam Bomb sat down with her family to get their backstory on the entire situation.
Then, the moment she had been waiting for, Louis walked out to introduce himself, and the four tracks from his new album, βWallsβ, which he exclusively previewed for our listeners. This was a treat for Rylee and all of our listeners because his album does not release until January 31st.
After the interview and song preview, it was FINALLY Rylee’s moment she had been waiting for, and it was everything we could have hoped for and MORE! Louis was terrific with Rylee and made her feel like she was the star of the show. If you don’t believe us, check out the photos and videos below.
βthank you so much for coming and seeing meβ louis, we would come and see you anytime. thank YOU for everything youβve made happen for us. thank you @Q997Atlanta for making it happen. thank you to YOU guys for rooting for this to happen. pic.twitter.com/GEzHauMD4Z

Rylee is a STAR in our books, and we believe everyone else thinks so too, including Zayn and Louis. In 2017, Zayn noticed Rylee reacting to his and Taylor Swift’s song, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” and it is priceless!
This made my day π … β€οΈοΈ https://t.co/sMSxbVRNaZ

Now, Rylee’s goal is to appear on The Ellen Show, so we need to help her out as much as we can! Share this article and tag Ellen in EVERYTHING!
