Hailey Roser's dream came true.

The 4-year-old Justin Bieber fan from East Troy-diagnosed with a brain tumor in August-was able to meet the 18-year-old pop star at the BMO Harris Bradley Center before his concert Sunday.

Roser's parents, Eric and Sabrina, created a social media campaign to encourage Bieber to meet their daughter.

Brandon Rowe, brand manager for WNRG-FM (106.9), found out about the campaign and instead of using meet-and-greet passes the station had received from Bieber's label for promotional giveaways, the station decided to donate them to the Rosers.

The family wasn't sure if Hailey, who is undergoing chemotherapy and has had complications, would be well enough to go to the arena, but she was cleared by a doctor Sunday and transported to the arena by ambulance for a private five-minute meeting. During that meeting, Hailey told Bieber she loved him, and in turn he thanked her for the opportunity to meet her, Eric said.

"It was just great to see her smile," Eric Roser said. "To give her something good to do finally after being [sick] for two months, it felt so good."
