St. Joe Girl Could Soon Meet Bieber
ST. JOSEPH/CHAMPAIGN--It really is like a dream come true.
After family, friends and people who don't even know Murelle took to Twitter, #JustinMeetMurelle began trending.
That's what caught the attention of Austin Leevy who works at This Is It Furniture.
Leevy ended up shaving his head to support Murelle.
When he returned to work, his boss Mike Namoff asked him-- what gives with the new cut?
Soon after, Namoff made some calls to charity auctions, and found ticket packages to meet the Beebs during a concert either in Philly or Chicago.ABC Newschannel 15's Marine Glisovic reports.
We spoke with Murelle's dad Corey, and he says the whole family is speechless, overwhelmed and still processing this.
He adds, if he could thank each and everyone who did this, he would shake everyone's hand from the bottom of his heart.
He goes on to say that Murelle is so excited, she doesn't even know what to say.
A very happy ending for a little girl that's been through a lot and still has a long road to recovery.
To make this all happen, Namoff is counting on you to donate.
If you would like to help, checks can be made to the Plotner Benefit, and dropped off at any This Is It Furniture location, or at the First National Bank of Ogden

You'll notice that this was nothing provided by Bieber or his people. I've never been impressed by much when it comes to "the beeb" and no, I'm not too surprised that he's been unresponsive to date. I am, however, terribly proud of the people who took this little girl seriously and who tried to help bring something good into her life right now.
I know that some people have actually been kinda snarky about why anybody would WANT to meet Bieber, but this is a middle school girl we are talking about. When YOU were all in Jr High was your taste in anything fully developed yet? I know mine wasn't. Plus, I gotta say, there's an element to this that just grabs my heart. As my husband put it, "If it was my little girl I'd arrange a way for her to meet Satan himself if that was what she wanted." I think we all mutter "Thank God that isn't my child" while we reach for our checkbook and strap on a pair of shoes for the 1K.
Peace to you all. I'll update on Murelle if you like.
