Rob Gronkowski fulfills wish of woman waiting for heart and kidney transplant with hospital visit

A Massachusetts woman had her wish fulfilled Monday when Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski paid her a visit at the hospital.

In a video posted to YouTube on March 25, Chicopee resident Lauren Meizo, 27, said that she had been staying at Brigham and Women’s Hospital for the past 77 days while waiting for a heart transplant — her second in five years — as well as a kidney transplant.

“I had so much fun the first time, I wanted to up the ante,” Meizo joked in the video.

Meizo asked for anyone who “knows anyone who knows Gronk or his people” to share her video so that her dream of meeting Gronk could come true.
