Getting Rad in Carlsbad

I read this on Fashionita but the story is here and here. I got really teary eyed.

Meet Nikki. She's 14 and her mother teaches at Savannah College of Art and Design. She made friends with some of her mother's students who eventually moved to NYC. And when Nikki was diagnosed with cancer, her New York pen pals flew her up to New York to take fashion obsessed Nikki to the Superhero exhibit at the Met.
The story spread and soon Nikki was touring Marc's studio, lunching with Andre in Oscar's showroom, getting her own WWD cover and chilling on the Ugly Betty set.
If you need your faith in humanity restored please read.
