Beyoncé has made a young fan's wish come true with a surprise FaceTime call.

Ebony Banks, a high school senior in Beyoncé's hometown of Houston, has been battling stage 4 of a rare form of cancer, but she's always wanted to meet the superstar. She is lovingly known by friends as "Ebob," and they rallied with a social media campaign to get Bey's attention. And because of the power of the Beyhive, their efforts quickly delivered.

Just days into the online campaign, Beyoncé on Wednesday FaceTimed Banks. “I love you, Beyoncé,” she told the singer, as seen in video footage, to which Beyoncé graciously replied, “I love you.”

A stage four diagnosis of cancer has kept Banks out of the classroom much of the year. In an effort to help make one of Banks' biggest dreams come true, her friends have started using the hashtag #EBOBMEETSBEYONCE on social media. "(Banks) is a really big fan of (Beyonce) and she has so much love for her that we really want to get (Banks) to meet her," said senior Cristal Depaz. "Beyonce is one of her idols. She admires her so much, so we're trying to put that on Twitter and Instagram to get Beyonce's attention," said Gutierrez.
