Justin Bieber meets Mia, a sick fan
Mia was among the fans who met Bieber prior to his concert at the Scotiabank Place in Kanata Friday.
Heather Pruder said the meeting with Bieber was everything her five-year-old daughter had expected it to be.
“He's very polite. Mia was the last person they brought into the meet and greet and as soon as he saw her his whole demeanour just completely softened,” she said.
“I think he wanted to have a few more minutes with her but his schedule didn't dictate it,” she said.
Mia Pruder is being treated for muscular dystrophy and mitochondrial depletion syndrome. Since late February, Mia has undergone numerous surgeries, life-threatening situations and a full tracheotomy due to her condition.
She was the focus of a Facebook campaign, Biebs for Mia, aimed at getting her a meeting with Bieber.
In June Mia received a video message from Bieber and her mother says she seeks out anything Bieber-related she can find on the Internet.
“She knows how to Google him.”
The family knew they had tickets for the show in April but it was not until last Wednesday that they found out for sure that they would meet Bieber in person.
In addition to meeting the singer, the family enjoyed VIP treatment at the concert.
“She absolutely loved the concert,” Heather Pruder said.
“We were treated really, really well.”
Originally they had seats right in front of the stage platform.
But show organizers decided the seats were not safe for Mia, so the family was moved to front row centre before the curtain went up.
“The show was delayed because of our movement,” Heather Pruder said.

good to know
And yeah, he wore this to his M&G. He met Harper the next room over at the arena right after he left this girl.
Sadly, it doesn't excuse his horrible taste (I mean overalls AND yellow shoes?). But it explains things at least :P
Too bad he had to rush off to meet Harper in the next room and couldn't spend more time with her.

“I think he wanted to have a few more minutes with her but his schedule didn't dictate it,” she said.
Tho if you're referring to his obvious lack of self-respect and all the regrets he'll have about his fashion choices in a couple years, then ia.
and its not bc she's ill or w/e, doing the most tbqh
I mean that is an awkward picture lmao, but he looks awkward i nearly every picture he takes - but the fan stories and videos consistently show him to be giving and engaged, and he goes out of his way to do this kind of charitable stuff often enough that it's obvious it's not something he dreads or finds gross.
I blame the overallsObviously he's so dumb that he's afraid he'll catch her disease.
