Calling all Beliebers! Just when you thought Justin Bieber couldn't get any better, he did. Justin responded to a tweet from a fan who asked the singer to spread the word about organ and blood donations and donations literally sprung through the roof!
Here's how it went down: Justin received this tweet from Helene Campbell, @alungstory. "Hey @justinbieber! I BELIEB you should use that Canadian voice of yours and help save lives like mine #beanorgandonor beadonor.ca #giveblood" OK! NEWS: JUSTIN BIEBER TELLS FANS "I'M NOT A ROBOT, LET ME PISS" According to E! News, Justin quickly responded to the young woman who's awaiting a lung transplant. He Tweeted, "i got the word...you have amazing strength. i got u. #BeAnOrganDonor" But that's not all! Justin followed up with another tweet that read, "help spread the word for @alungstory http://www.alungstory.ca/ #BeAnOrganDonor" and "and @alungstory NEVER SAY NEVER". OK! NEWS: JUSTIN BIEBER'S SHAGGY HAIR IS BACK! LOVE IT OR LOATHE IT? After she thanked the Biebs for making a "huge impact" on social media, he simply responded, "glad to be able to help. best part of what i do." Just looking at the power of Twitter and of course, the power of Justin, the Trillium Gift of Life Network in Canada noticed that donations rose to 1,200 people — more than four times their typical amount! The president and CEO told E! News, "There are over 1,500 people in Ontario waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. On behalf of all of them and Trillium Gift of Life Network, thank you Helene and thank you Justin Bieber! In Ontario if you have a signed donor card, you still need to register. Visit www.BeADonor.ca to register or check to be sure you are indeed a registered donor." Thumbs up, Justin!
