Fraternity Surprises 12-Year-Old Cancer Patient In Most Adorable Way

For some parents, having your young daughter's room overlooking a row of college frat houses would seem like a nightmare. But for the Brown family of Santa Maria, California, it turned out to be a blessing.

On October 30, 12-year-old Lexi Brown was airlifted to Mattel Children's Hospital at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) after the chemotherapy pills she was taking for recurring lung tumors caused her heart to fail.

This was Lexi 2-weeks ago, air evac to @MCHUCLA from Santa Maria when her heart began to fail. #FightOnLexiBrown pic.twitter.com/jQ8zUAUUdM

While there, Lexi and her mother, Lisa, realized her hospital room faced the college's fraternity row and decided to have some fun. They drew a sign asking for pizza and put it up in the window, according to CBS Los Angeles.

The brothers at Sigma Alpha Epsilon across the street did them one better.

"Five guys come in," Lisa told NBC News, "and they had a guitar and dozen roses and a box of pizza. They introduced themselves and said, 'We saw your sign; we're here.'"

Lisa said the frat brothers stayed for half an hour and performed a song for Lexi.

"I started bawling my head off," Lisa said. "I'm like, 'I can't believe these people are here for my child .'"

But the SAE brothers didn't stop there.

After seeing the impact their small act of kindness had, the brothers kept up the visits, even getting exemptions from hospital rules to stay past midnight to play card games with Lexi. And after learning that the seventh-grader loves soccer, they arranged a visit from the school's team as well as from Josh Rosen, the star quarterback of UCLA's football team.

It gets my mind off of things and it helps pass the days , Lexi told CBS Los Angeles of the unexpected friendship.

'Thank U!' @UCLAMSoccer for visiting our patient, Lexi Brown! You made her day! pic.twitter.com/owkZtZYjoA
MattelChildrensUCLA (@MCHUCLA) November 11, 2015

Witnessing Lexi's resiliency, smile and spirit also touched the SAE brothers. Its absolutely a very difficult situation, and shes a warrior , Kevin Autran, the president of the SAE fraternity, told CBS Los Angeles.

Before Lexi went home, the frat house wanted to do one last gesture for her.

Using holiday lights, they wrote her name on the roof of their frat house so she could see it from her window. Ever the perfectionists, they even changed the bulbs out for purple lights and added a beating heart once they learned her favorite color is purple.

The lights keep getting brighter and brighter! @UCLA_SAE @Team_Lexi_Brown pic.twitter.com/9dFNmPUkVy

Given Lexi's spirit, it's not surprising she had such a profound effect on the college students. The middle schooler has given speeches, raised thousands of dollars for charity and even appeared in a commercial for a hospital.

According to Autran, the brothers were "glowing" after visiting her that first time, and their small acts of kindness were "contagious" among the fraternity and the rest of the college campus.

"I never knew that so many young adults had it in them," Lisa told NBC News.

SAE says the "Lexi" lights will stay up through the holidays even though Lexi is now back home. Her family has set up a GoFund Me account to help cover her medical costs.
