JoJo Siwa surprises five-year-old superfan with virtual hangout through Make-A-Wish Foundation

JoJo Siwa sweetly surprises five-year-old superfan with virtual hangout through Make-A-Wish Foundation

JoJo Siwa surprised one of her biggest fans in collaboration with the Make-A-Wish foundation.

The 17-year-old YouTube personality was featured in a video posted by the charity on Saturday in which she virtually met a five-year-old girl named Ainarah. 

Ainarah, a Virginia native, was born with a neuromuscular disorder, and it was apparently her wish to get some one-on-one time with the Hold The Drama singer. 

A good cause: On Saturday, a video was released to the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Instagram account featuring a video call between JoJo Siwa and a fan named Ainarah 

Siwa was very excited to meet her fan, and in the video, could be seen exclaiming, ‘Look at you, cutie, it’s nice to meet you!’

The 17-year-old singer could be seen wearing a pink graphic printed hoodie in the video; she also wore a large pair of sunglasses and one of her trademark bows.

The two initially discussed fashion, and the singer told Ainarah that her favorite of her many bows was the one that she wears on stage; she then complemented her new friend on the bow that she had on for the hangout.

The former Dance Moms cast member then asked the Virginian to open a present that she had sent over, a bracelet from a collaboration between Macy’s and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Siwa then showed that she had a matching bracelet as well, and instructed Ainarah that every time she wore the bracelet, ‘to believe, and to always remember how awesome and how amazing you are, okay?’ 

The two were then joined by a special guest, as Santa Claus showed up for a surprise visit in the middle of the virtual call.

The big man in red assured Ainarah that, ‘although this has been a very different year,’ he would always love her, regardless of the circumstances.

Siwa first gained prominence for her appearances on the Lifetime dance show Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition, after which she was featured in seasons five and six of Dance Moms.

In 2016, she released her debut single Boomerang, which went on to be certified as double platinum by the RIAA due to its immense popularity.

The singer was later seen in numerous productions from Nickelodeon, including the 2018 made-for-TV movie Blurt and the musical comedy series School Of Rock, which was based off of the 2003 movie of the same name.

In September, Siwa was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people of the world, with her large online following being a contributing factor to her designation.
