CHICAGO -- Rapper Drake made a birthday wish come true for a young heart patient in Chicago.

"I just had surgery three weeks ago. The surgery was to help my heart pump," she says in her video message to Drake. "I love your music and I was hoping that you could come and cheer me up for my birthday."
