13-Year Old Cancer Patient Honored By President Trump Asks For A Favor From Jason Aldean: “Trying To Raise Money For Kids With Cancer”
Looks like the Secret Service is trying to get in touch with Jason Aldean.
You may remember the heartwarming moment earlier this year when President Donald Trump surprised 13-year old DJ Daniel during a joint session of Congress by making the young cancer patient an honorary member of the United States Secret Service.
What an incredible moment President Trump's just Direct Secret Service Director Sean Curran to names DJ Daniel a Texas boy battling cancer with his dream job to become a Secret Service agent.

DJ was diagnosed with terminal brain and spinal cancer in 2018, and has since undergone 13 brain surgeries, despite only being given just five months to live at the time he was diagnosed.
As Daniel said:
“I’m gonna keep on going until my gas tank runs out. And that’s when God calls you home. You never know when God’s gonna call you home.”
D.J. Daniel joined President Trump at the Joint Session—a 13-year-old battling cancer who has been sworn in as an honorary officer over 900 times.

But the youngster is also a big fan of law enforcement, and has been sworn in as an honorary officer by over 1,300 different departments, including ICE and the DEA.
He’s become a major celebrity in the wake of all of his recognition and the struggles that he’s faced at such a young age. But unfortunately, Daniel is facing some new struggles after his father Theodis Daniel revealed last week that DJ has three new tumors:
“He does have three new tumors. It’s rough. There isn’t a class that can teach you how to deal with it. You’re hearing that your child has a nasty disease.”
After the diagnosis, the White House offered their support and prayers to DJ as he faces these new challenges:
“We’re lifting up Agent DJ Daniel in prayer after his dad, Theodis, shared that DJ is now facing three new tumors.
DJ is one of the strongest, bravest young men—and has now been sworn into 1,351 law enforcement agencies across the country.
Agent Daniel, you’re a true legend.”

But Theodis said that his son is determined to use whatever time he has here on earth to help others:
“We’re just going around showing people, ‘Hey, you do care for one another. Let’s give compassion and let’s try to join and help each other get through things.’”
And one of the things that he wants to do is organize a country music concert to help raise money for other children like himself who are battling cancer. But he needs a little help to do it.
Daniel released a video on social media asking for help getting in touch with Jason Aldean for the event:
“Hey, does anybody know Jason Aldean? Because we’re trying to do a country show down here to raise money for kids with cancer.”
Obviously Aldean is also a big supporter of law enforcement, so it seems like a natural fit to ask his fellow Trump supporter to help him out with his charity concert.
Jason hasn’t responded publicly to Daniel’s request, but I have a feeling that if anybody can make it happen, it’s Daniel. And he definitely has more than a few connections to Aldean who can probably put the two in touch.
After all, when the Secret Service is looking for you, they’ll track you down sooner or later.
