Doctors say 25-year-old Marissa English doesn't have much time left. Her failing health meant the huge Keith Urban fan would have to miss the country star's upcoming concert in her town. And that's when her caring nurses posted a desperate plea on social to get the singer's attention.
Marissa English has been fighting to live since the day she came into this world. She was born with several health conditions, including cerebral palsy, severe scoliosis, and a cyst on her brain.

Marissa is a huge Keith Urban fan and had tickets for his show in Toledo, Ohio. But when the 25-year-old's condition took a sharp turn for the worse, her declining health meant she would have to forfeit the show.
"Go home and enjoy her for possibly a year. That might be the longest you have her," doctors told the girl's mom.
That's when Marissa's nurses decided to step in to try and make the young girl's dreams come true.
Marissa's caring nurses couldn't stand to see the sweet girl miss out on the concert. She was too sick to go to the show. But maybe, the nurses thought, they could get Keith Urban to come to her.
“We knew how important it was to Marissa to be at that concert," said nurse Jan Cassity. "Since she wasn’t able to, we were hoping to try and find some way to have Keith make a connection with her.”
Marissa's nurses turned to social and pled their case.
@KeithUrban @mercy_health Keith will be in Toledo for a concert tomorrow (10/18). His “number 1 fan” is a patient here at St. Vs in Toledo! She had tix for the concert but is now facing hospice. Trying to reach out to see if Keith can possibly give this young girl her dying wish
