John Cena meets a Ukrainian war refugee with Down syndrome after fleeing family home
John Cena reportedly visited a fan, a war refugee with Down syndrome, when the fan's mother used her dream of meeting Cena as inspiration to flee the war-torn Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
The family's journey from Mariupol is said to have included minefields, encounters with Russian forces, artillery attacks, and crossing several national borders.
Misha's dream of meeting her hero Cena came true on Saturday when the muscular superstar gave her and her mother a chance to meet her at their new home in Huizen.
Praising her son's strength, the fan's mother said, "Misha is an example of believing in her dream and moving towards it."
The wrestler-turned-actor explained why he needed to meet the family: "I didn't want a son to think of his mother in a different light, simply because she did whatever it takes to keep her safe." He did."
