Odell Beckham Jr. is ready to use the powers of social media for good.
On Tuesday, the Giants receiver, who boasts 2.52 million Twitter followers, replied to pleas to meet his biggest fan, a 9-year-old cancer patient named Jayro Ponce.
“Jayro is a fighter, hero and loved by many! As we all know he is battling cancer. … With the power of God, Miracles, Radio and Social Media I think we can make this little guy smile at this point in his life,” radio personality Tommy Joe of the Amarillo, Texas-based “Hacker Morning Show” wrote Monday on Facebook. “His dream is to meet New York Giants Odell Beckham. PLEASE help me try to make this happen.
“Jayro is in pain, and maybe we can make this 1 dream happen …” he continued.

Though Tommy Joe issued a personal plea to Beckham, the 24-year-old wideout received the message from a separate source, the father of Giants center Weston Richburg.
“@OBJ_3 time is of the essence. Weston has our number. We will find the $ to pay the jet fuel,” Danny Richburg tweeted Monday evening. “@OBJ_3 can make Jayro Ponce’s make a wish. PM me and I can get it set up. Not much time. Thanks.”
It sounded as if Beckham was ready to help.
“How could I make it happen?” he wrote.
Ponce, who was diagnosed with a malignant Rhabdoid tumor last December, per ABC affiliate Channel 7 Amarillo, received a visit from Weston Richburg, 26, in April.
