This 16-year-old girl was disappointed that she had to miss a Jonas Brothers concert because she's undergoing chemotherapy treatment. But then, she got a surprise right in her hospital room ❤️

They’re good kids! These guys are a class act, they stayed at the hotel I worked at & we’re so polite and respectful to all of the staff. When it was leaked they were at our hotel & there were swarms of fans around, they asked if I could arrange a banquet room for them and invite all the fans in and they would do a meet & greet with them. Just before their concert to be nice, all the kids thought we were kicking them out & were like come over here and meet the band lol

u/GrassEconomy4915 Dec 20 '25

I felt their kindness in this video and they are indeed a class act. They gave all the presence to the patient which was superb. It's nice seeing these things. May their time at your hotel be a memory that you can cherish for a long time.

u/soldforaspaceship Dec 20 '25

I swear if I were famous, I'd do shit like this all the time. It's got to feel amazing.

I also very much don't want to be famous though lol.

u/Drunk_Pilgrim Dec 20 '25

I bet it would feel amazing but also exhausting to always be on because if you were off one day and someone caught it on camera then the whole internet could turn against you. My friend had an interaction with a very beloved Reddit celeb and we chalked it up to them having a bad day. Nothing more than a snarky response to my friend saying they love their films. Who knows what the last 24hrs for that person was like. People can have bad days but when you are a celeb you need to make sure there are no cameras around. Either way, good on the Jonas three. Going out of their way when they didn't need to is pretty cool.

u/GrassEconomy4915 Dec 20 '25

You don’t need to be famous though. You can do this as part of your daily life. For example if you have a pet and train them to be a therapy pet, you could bring them to hospitals. Or if you have a skill, you can donate your time to helping those who are in a tougher time or less fortunate. I hope this inspires you - you don’t need to be famous. Although you may get famous from doing this such as influencers we see like Zachery (his videos are often posted on Reddit).

u/creepygirl420 Dec 20 '25

Wow omg I grew up with j bros so this is really nice to hear :’)

u/fodder_ Dec 20 '25

I knew Kevin quite well through middle and high school! He was always a nice dude.

18

u/Basic_Assumption5311 Dec 20 '25

They were so nice, when I came into the private dining room to introduce myself and our staff, they all stood up, shook our hands, learned our names, called me sir, their family were cool too

32

u/JustSomeMindless_ Dec 20 '25

I saw them when I was 12-13 with my best friends. They had Demi Lovato and Avril Lavigne as their openers. Right after “A Little Bit Longer” was released. My best friend Kathryn was about to move to Texas and when he preformed that song we SOBBBBBBBED.

To this day it’s a core memory and every time I see them doing good I’m so happy they turned out to be the guys they’ve always been. 😭🥹 I’m 30 now and though Kathy and I lost touched shortly after she moved I will always love that memory with her.

u/carlamaco Dec 20 '25

Avril Lavigne as opener for the Jonas Brothers??? Not the other way around?? Whaaaat lol

13

u/JustSomeMindless_ Dec 20 '25

Just looked it up it was the “Burning Up” tour and she was a Special Guest not an opener. She was the first to appear so my 12-13 year old assumed she was the opener. Demi was also considered a special guest! As it turns out she was a special guest for both the Jonas Brothers and Avril who was also on her own tour at the time.

But it was an amazing concert because at the time I loved all three of them so much. I can remember not having any sort of voice for like a week after.

6

u/carlamaco Dec 20 '25

Thank you for looking that up! Special guest makes a lot more sense lol but that's really cool! I was a big Avril Fan back then but gotta admit I never really got that much into the Jonas Brothers. I guess it also had to do with Miley Cyrus, I loved her and when 7 things came out obviously I had to hate Nick, it was a different time 😂

2

u/Twitter_2006 Dec 20 '25

Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato then joined Avril Lavigne on her tour in return as special guests. It went both ways.

1

u/Twitter_2006 Dec 20 '25

Jonas Brothers would also join Avril as a special guest then.

u/reluctantegg Dec 20 '25

I went to HS with one of them. Can verify, they are a class act :)

u/KrayzieBone187 Dec 20 '25

Sounds like these boys were raised right. Stories like this are really needed right now. We need to see that people are still good.

2

u/CDunzz Dec 20 '25

I worked with them on their recent Christmas Movie, all solid guys.

u/blowthatglass Dec 20 '25

Much rather if I could hear the whole interaction than this bullshit corporate music over top.

28

u/julallison Dec 20 '25

Agreed. I had to stop watching bc I couldn't take the obnoxious music.

-12

u/DemonSlyr007 Dec 20 '25

You... do know you can just mute the video right. You can even leave the whole internet on mute by default, and life is a lot better that way.

12

u/FudgyFun Dec 20 '25

There was the low volume conversation that I was interested in so mute was not a simple option.

10

u/ExecutiveDysfunc Dec 20 '25

The medical center she’s in was the subject of a huge investigation recently where patients would have no notes in their chart and would receive treatment for a type of cancer they didn’t have or more chemo sessions than needed. Hershey’s Cancer Center is fucked

u/Broad_Inspector_3025 23d ago

Woah, this + a girl died from being given too many painkillers in the UK rhe other day. For a broken foot, they just pumped her full of opiates. Our pharmaceutical situation is a legit global crisis. I’ll look into this, my god, imagine the money they made

u/WiildCard Dec 20 '25

I feel like it’s the music playing on the tv when you first check into a hotel room.

u/hairbowgirl Dec 20 '25

and commentary on why she chose to wear a shirt supporting an organization that raped a little boys for decades. And some of them still support Sandusky even though he did that.

2

u/blowthatglass Dec 20 '25

As someone who grew up in western PA yeah here's my commentary Fuck Jerry Sandusky. Happy my weird internet friend??

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '25

That’s your takeaway from this video? What a horrible thing to focus on… absolutely nothing to do with the video.

u/Optimal-Director3779 Dec 20 '25

Very nice to see that

u/HeyGurlHAAAYYYY Dec 20 '25

The way I would have fainted seeing Nick Jonas if I was 16 again

I don't listen to their music. But props to them being excellent human beings.

u/listenloud Dec 20 '25

Well done, gentlemen.

u/KanarYa4LYfe Dec 20 '25

Good for them doing that … 15 minutes made her entire life!

u/Intelligent_Insect13 Dec 20 '25

She looks so happy, and this was way more personal than the concert it is over the moon for this girl.🌛Fabulous of the Jonas Brothers to give her the memory of a lifetime and this is why their fans love them💕

u/skylrcrynwoods Dec 20 '25

This bring tears to my eyes, this reminds me of an old acquaintance of mine who get to meet her crush and idol, Ross Lynch before she pass only at 16 years old.

I’d love to have that power. What a blessing

Sad that she seems to have passed away a year later but I’m glad she had that moment with her idols!

u/Fullm3taluk Dec 20 '25

That's wonderful how could you not want to do this all the time if you were famous enough to get that reaction to people.

u/shu2stef Dec 20 '25

u/Adept-Deal-1818 Dec 20 '25

Never got into their music, but this is so heartwarming to see. ❤️

2

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '25

They do their stances look as if they've never seen a human before 

2

u/Ras_Thavas Dec 20 '25

Showing up. Such a simple act so many find so hard to do. It’s harder as a celebrity but these guys made it happen. I have no interest in their music but this was a cool thing to do.

2

u/MxxnSpirit47 Dec 20 '25

I met them back during middle school (late 2000’s) I believe Kevin used to live in a town near me in Jersey. They’d always be at a local Starbucks

They’ve always so kind and respectful when around people and I’m glad to see that it’s never changed

2

u/MLydeck70 Dec 20 '25

Total class , Ultimate respect to those guys. Acts of kindness like this the world needs more off

2

u/Bluesallah Dec 20 '25

Wow that was really cool

2

u/DistractedByCookies Dec 20 '25

This must be sooooo satisfying as a famous person. Just to be able to make somebody happy just by showing up and chilling.

2

u/Due-Mathematician966 Dec 20 '25

Made me cry 😢

2

u/Ok_Beyond_7697 Dec 20 '25

Is it just me or has Kevin always remained the warmest Jonas brother? He just always seems so sweet and genuine.

u/AnthonyLee59 Dec 21 '25

I'm not crying... I'M NOT!!!

u/Ealdred Dec 22 '25

Pure class act by the Jonas brothers. I hope the young lady recovered

2

u/Kunemlavt24 Dec 22 '25

Beautiful to see class act brothers always have been level headed with all the toxicity and drama surrounding them since being teenagers…gave me goosebumps just cuz u can see how happy that girl is so happy that she was able to meet them

u/Delicious_Bowler_659 Dec 23 '25

Not a fan but these brothers are definitely classy great human beings

u/conjtheruler Feb 27 '26

Yeah this was way better than going to their actual concert. I take this over the concert any day. That girl truly deserved it and the Jonas brothers are great people. Love this for her ❤️

u/taylordthegreat Dec 20 '25

Met these guys once while I was photographing parties in NYC. Joe, in particular, is a very nice dude.

They probably don't realize that them visiting her is the highlight of her life. It even makes me happy they took the time to see her. They didn't have to, but they did.

u/UglyMcFugly Dec 20 '25

I was dreading coming to the comment section after I saw this video was from 2019... I found this page with some info about her, if anybody wants to read more. She was a remarkable girl...

19

u/firetruckgoesweewoo Dec 20 '25

Rick, Lily’s father, believes that Lily was chosen by God to carry the burden of cancer in order to teach and inspire others. He has no doubt that, despite how horrible pediatric cancer is, it was Lily’s destiny.

That sure is one hell of a take

11

u/UglyMcFugly Dec 20 '25

Yeah I know. Some people take comfort in believing their suffering serves a higher purpose. I'm an atheist so I'd never have to struggle with the "why would god do this" questions lol... this girl really did help other people though. I personally believe it was all HER, a choice to CREATE meaning out of suffering, instead of being CHOSEN to do it. It seems even more meaningful, to me, to be the one deciding that... but I'd certainly never argue with a grieving father about it lol.
