The teenager who is currently at Lurie’s Children Hospital of Chicago, met Drake on Monday, August 20. She was left speechless after the rapper casually walked into her hospital room.

Sanchez was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy which occurs when a heart muscle makes blood delivery from the heart to the body difficult. It could also lead to heart failure.
