Jason Aldean Responds After 13-Year Old Cancer Patient Honored By President Trump Asks For Help With Charity Concert
Finally got in touch with him.
Earlier this week, 13-year old DJ Daniel put out a call for help, asking for someone help him get in touch with Jason Aldean about putting on a concert for children with cancer.
If you’re not familiar with DJ’s story, you may remember the heartwarming moment earlier this year when President Donald Trump surprised the young cancer patient during a joint session of Congress by making him 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.
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 needed to call in a favor to make it happen.
Daniel released a video on social media earlier 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.”
Well Aldean was tagged in the comments on the video hundreds of times, so there’s no doubt it didn’t take him long to see it. And one of Aldean’s friends saw it too: Darius Rucker.
Just a few minutes ago, Darius responded to DJ’s request to get in touch with Aldean:
“Hey DJ, what’s up? It’s Darius Rucker.
Guess what? I heard you. I know Jason Aldean.”
And Aldean promised to get in touch with Daniel soon:
“Hey, what’s up DJ? Jason Aldean here. Got your message and want to get you out to a show. Let’s talk more about doing a show or doing something to help the kids like you were talking about. We’ll be in touch, man.”
Knew Aldean would come through for him. And if they need any help promoting or covering the show, just let me know. I’m always down for a concert for a good cause.
