Kendall Sherry’s life may have its tough moments but on Tuesday night, one of her dreams came true.
Originally from Ottawa, the 12-year-old suffers from spina bifida – a birth defect affecting the spinal column – and moves around using a wheelchair. She now lives with her adoptive family in Kelowna, B.C.
In October, she was being taped for a feature spot on Global’s Show of Hearts Telethon, a children’s charity which had helped her family by installing a new elevator in their home. Organizers noticed she had a crush on teen pop star Justin Bieber.
Global and Entertainment Tonight Canada sent a note to Bieber’s management team to get a recorded message from the teen idol sent back to Kendall. Instead, Bieber’s team decided to invite Kendall and her mom, Susan, to fly out to Toronto to meet Bieber in person and attend the concert at the Air Canada Centre on Tuesday.
“She was in terrible shock,” said Susan, of Kendall’s reaction. “I don’t think she came out of shock until (Wednesday) morning. I think it took her all night to realize that this was real because she actually asked if she was being ‘punked.’ “
Kendall, who is naturally shy, tends to obsess over things due to a mental disability associated with her spina bifida.
“The trick was that we didn’t actually tell her (in advance),” said her father Jay. “She didn’t know. It’s just her nature, so we kept the information from the whole family.”
Susan and Jay have seven adopted children, including Kendall, five of whom are Haitian, ranging in age from 12 to 20 years old.
“One of the other girls was very jealous,” Jay said with a laugh.
“Kendall really deserves it,” added Susan. “She doesn’t ask for much. She goes about life like, ‘That’s the way my life is and I’m just going to do the best I can.’ She just has that kind of personality.
“She will always remember this. It will be a big deal for her for a long time.”

OMG! Justin I am your hugest fan ever I would really like to meet you but I don’t have a car to get to one of your concerts. I was wondering if you could maybe do a concert in Minnesota again sometime soon! I would really appreciate it if u would cause then I could see u! Oh and by the way u are the smexiest boy I’ve ever seen in my life!!!!! Love you!
Like isaid before Justin I’m your biggest fan! But I found out something sad I have juvenile rumotode arthritis in my left knee and in my left elbow. When I went to the doctor they said this could kill me but that is a very rare chance. They also told me that it could take away my sight. I’m only thirteen I have a long life to live still! Guess what is funny my birthday is a day after yours is I was gonna ask u to come to my birthday party on the 2nd of march but u probably got things to do already, but it would mean so much to me!
~ love Erika your biggest fan ever (A.K.A) Mrs.Bieber
I know your song fall by heart it my favorite I also have other favorites but this one touchs my heart! I LOVE YOU XOXO KISS KISS! Here it is……
Well let me tell you a story
About a girl and a boy
He fell in love with his best friend
When she’s around, he feels nothing but joy
But she was already broken, and it made her blind
But she could never believe that love would ever treat her right
But did you know that I love you? or were you not aware?
You’re the smile on my face
And I ain’t going nowhere
I’m here to make you happy, i’m here to see you smile
I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a long while
What’s gonna make you fall in love
I know you got your wall wrapped all the way around your heart
Don’t have to be scared at all, oh my love
But you can’t fly unless you let ya,
You can’t fly unless you let yourself fall
Well I can tell you’re afraid of what this might do
Cause we got such an amazing friendship and that you don’t wanna lose
Well I don’t wanna lose it either
I don’t think I can stay sitting around while you’re hurting babe
So take my hand
Well did you know you’re an angel? who forgot how to fly
Did you know that it breaks my heart everytime to see you cry
Cause I know that a piece of you’s gone everytime he done wrong, I’m the shoulder you’re crying on
And I hope by the time that i’m done with this song that I’ve figured out
Who’s gonna make you fall in love
I know you got your wall wrapped all the way around your heart
Don’t have to be scared at all, oh my love
But you can’t fly unless you let ya,
You can’t fly unless you let yourself fall
I will catch you if you fall
I will catch you if you fall
I will catch you if you fall
But if you spread your wings
You can fly away with me
But you can’t fly unless you let ya,
You can’t fly unless you let yourself,
What’s gonna make you fall in love
I know you got your wall wrapped all the way around your heart
Don’t have to be scared at all, oh my love
But you can’t fly unless you let ya,
You can’t fly unless you let
Yourself fall in love
I know you got your wall wrapped all the way around your heart
Don’t have to be scared at all, oh my love
But you can’t fly unless you let ya,
You can’t fly unless you let yourself fall
I will catch you if you fall
I will catch you if you fall
I will catch you if you fall
If you spread your wings
You can fly away with me
But you can’t fly unless you let ya,
Let yourself fall
