Full transparency, this editor can barely see through her tears to write this, but it’s one of those times when Twitter actually does something right and good.
Which is rare.
So we have to share it.
Started here with a tweet from Shannon Bream (get a tissue):
Need your help Twitterverse – trying to help a young boy who is dying. He probably has just days and all he want is a greeting from one of the Avengers. If you have a celeb connection, please let me know. Otherwise, could you help out with a RT? Thank you in advance!

And guess what?
Twitterverse delivered.
Avengers unite!
I’m more of a “Reserve Avenger”. But happy to help. DM me.

This is truly incredible to watch!
Love seeing all this love on social media. More of this please. Super heroes on the big screen but also in the real life.
My thoughts and prayers are with Emilio. Looking forward to seeing the video shoutouts. ❤️?? pic.twitter.com/iIfmol6SJZ

So often all we see is the dark side of Twitter and in politics right now, everything seems angry and divided, but it’s encouraging to see when the good in all people comes out.
Thank you, EVERYONE! Major progress has been made because of you. A special assist coming in from @jaketapper ?? I guess Twitter can be full of love when someone really needs it. https://t.co/9tdQMdCGDB

Prayers for Emilio, and thank you Twitterverse!
**we will keep an eye on Shannon’s timeline for any updates**
