She’s the 11-year-old girl who captured hearts of many after getting a surprised hospital visit from Drake.
Today, Sofia Sanchez has a brand new heart and is talking for the first time about her successful heart surgery and meeting her favorite artist of all time.
Sofia Sanchez told ABC News that she and the Hip Hop star “got along pretty well,” and that he even gave her his cell phone number, which she “pinky-promised” she wouldn’t give away to anyone else.
Sofia filmed a video before her 11th birthday in August asking for two presents: a visit from Drizzy and a new heart. Less than one week after Sofia’s “Kiki Challenge” dance video went viral, Drake visited her at the hospital.
Soon after meeting Drake, Sofia learned a donor heart was available. She underwent the nine-hour heart transplant. After waiting 48 days for a new heart and undergoing the successful transplant, Sofia was discharged from the hospital.
