Singer Walker Hayes gives 79-year-old woman who just beat cancer the ultimate surprise

#eastidahonews #feelgoodfriday #walkerhayes
EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley in Idaho Falls and Pocatello are partnering to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
We recently received a message about a 79-year-old named Virginia who loves country singer Walker Hayes. It said:
I was wondering if there is any way you could try to help me out with something for my mom. She is 79 and just beat an aggressive colon cancer. She had her last chemo last week. She is obsessed with Walker Hayes. She tells her Alexa all the time to play “the Applebees song”. We got tickets to take her to the fair to see him. This will be her first outing post chemo and it would make her world after the last 9 months she has had to get his autograph or maybe even meet him for a minute? Thanks East Idaho News!
Walker performed at the Eastern Idaho State Fair last week and agreed to help us with a big surprise for Virginia! Check it out in the video player above.

Awe Walker you’re the Best ❤. Love you. You’re amazing. Georgia Peach 🍑🍑🍑

[@jacquicoder7160]

What a great story! Nate, you are amazing, the things you can arrange. And as for Walker Hayes, I think Virginia made his day, too. I hope she lives for a good many more years and tell her story so the generations to follow can hear it.

[@yvonnemurray5537]

This is the lady that probably doesn’t need any more family or friends. I bet she has plenty of family and friends. But she’s just that type of woman that I would love to be friends with. However, she’s in Idaho and then I’m in Florida. Probably won’t happen anytime soon. So very happy that she got to meet Walker, and that she beat colon cancer, which is one of the hardest cancers to get throughhave a long and happy and prosperous life. Wish you only the best.

[@patrickphillips6828]

Nate, you and the team do so much to make people feel special. What a wonderful gift you have been given🙏🏼

[@pamprier4710]

Walker, I'm in Missouri, but I enjoy watching East Idaho News, esp when they do their Feel Good Fridays. I also love your music, and your family life! Thank you so much for doing this wonderful thing for this lady! And Nate, thank you for making it happen!
