Hernandez was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis at age 3. She received a liver transplant from a donor at the age of 9, but unfortunately the disease came back in that liver.
Last summer, Chance the Rapper had hooked her up with tickets to see Coldplay at Soldier Field after her boss at Lou Malnati's reached out to the Chicago rapper.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin then learned that Heidi is a huge fan. He was en route to Cleveland for a tour stop and stopped by the Lou Malnati's Pizzeria near Midway International Airport on the Southwest Side.
Hernandez gave Martin a long hug when he arrived at the restaurant. The two took selfies and talked at the restaurant, where Hernandez works.

Before leaving, Martin invited Hernandez, her boyfriend and her Lou Malnati's manager to fly to Seattle to see the band's show and sit in the front row. He also got Hernandez tickets to a Bruno Mars concert at the United Center.
