Local girl Bella Thomson received the surprise of a lifetime this week when she received a care package from music superstar Halsey. 

7-year-old Bella who is currently awaiting a bowel transplant went viral recently on Tik Tok which is when the pop star reached out asking if she could send a care package as Bella's mom Kyla explains.

"And she messaged me and said that she noticed my daughter's video went viral and that sent her into viewing video after video and picture after picture of Bella and essentially she said she fell in love with Bella and our story."

Kyla says the package was filled with a mass amount of professional art supplies, as well as a new Ipad Air and Stylus pen and Bella was surprised, shocked, and stunned with the gift.

According to Kyla, she started posting videos on Tik Tok because she enjoyed it and wanted to share her family's average life but since going viral she hopes to inspire others through their videos as she explains.

"Where I want to keep going with it is just inspiring others and showing them positive happy moments. Even though Bella is a medical kid and she goes through a lot of tough stuff there are a lot of positives that can come from the life and her being her just makes people smile."

Kyla says she hears so many people say that Bella brings light into their days and this makes her want to keep going.

Most of the social media started for Kyla when Bella was in the hospital as a way of updating family and friends on Bella's progress. "I am happy that Tik Tok helps us to share the joy and the fun stuff with people and they can see what kind of kid she is and if that's bringing smiles to people that's great."

Social media has also helped Kyla to connect with other parents going through similar situations as well as medical students. It has allowed her to share and spread awareness for Bella's condition and at the same time support organizations such as children's hospitals, Ronald McDonald House and Make A Wish. Kyla is happy to get the information out there to support them. 

Since going viral on Tik Tok, Kyla says life has been much busier but in a fun and good way. To have Halsey reach out to Bella, Kyla says it was so heartwarming and kind to see someone like that notice Bella for exactly what she is, a sweet kid who no matter what she goes through loves so many things.
