Last year while the entire nation was falling in love with Louis Tomlinson as he mentored the boy’s category on the X-Factor, a little boy called Harrysson got to meet him with the help of the Make A Wish Foundation. Louis recently made contact again after hearing Harrysson had been unwell and sent him some gifts and a letter.
Harrysson’s Mum Karly shared news of the kind and heartfelt gesture on her Twitter.

Where she also thanked two of Louis’s update accounts, run by fans @LouisTeamFrance and @LouisPromoSquad who have kept in contact with Karly and regularly post updates about Harrysson for the rest of Louis’s fans to see.
Karly posted a video of a very happy and excited Harrysson receiving his gifts.

The Make a Wish Foundation is a charity that helps grant the wishes of children who have terminal or life-limiting illnesses.
Harrysson who is five years old. He is has been ill on and off since birth. He has restricted mobility and he deals with a very complex condition that affects his bladder and kidneys. Harrysson has endured 20 operations, 3 in the past year alone but the cause of his medical condition is still unknown.
In November last year, Make A Wish contacted Louis, who has supported the charity a lot over the years, as well as being one of most charitable singers we know and supporting many other causes over the years ( far too many to list here as much as we’d love to).
Louis then made Harrysson’s wish come true and met him at X-Factor. They even shared a bowl of fish fingers and had a little picnic together.
Karly has also nominated Harrysson for a Pride of Britain award for his bravery and is asking others to do the same. You can nominate Harrysson here.
