Rihanna does something nice
Rihanna has been working to publicize the plight of 6-year-old leukemia patient Jasmina Anema, who is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant.
The singer took Anema’s search for a suitable donor to People magazine, “Access Hollywood” and other media outlets, hoping to increase the amount of African Americans in the donor pool.
On April 2, Rihanna made time for a surprise visit to Jasmina’s room at NYU Medical Center, where the two ended up spending three hours together talking, playing and even indulging in a slumber party-like pillow fight, reports People.com.
“She’s really here!” Jasmina exclaimed when Rihanna came in, shoeless, to prevent the spread of germs. “You are such a beautiful little girl,” the singer told Jasmina.
High doses of chemotherapy often leave Jasmina tired, says Katharina Harf, executive vice president of DKMS Americas, the bone marrow donor registry that is helping Jasmina and others find a match.
“But when Rihanna walked into the room, there was no sign of that at all,” she says. “Jasmina loves Rihanna. And Rihanna fell in love with Jasmina.”
The pair even danced to Rihanna’s biggest hits including “Umbrella” and “Please Don’t Stop the Music.” “Jasmina showed Rihanna all her special ‘moves’ and tried to teach her how to do them,” says Harf.
