Please help me reach Robert Downey Jr. So he can send a birthday message to an awesome kid with Leukemia (24 Jan 2020)

I'm a pediatric resident in Mexico. We have this amazing kid who was diagnosed with Leukemia. He is currently on chemo and bone marrow transplant.

His favorite superhero and role model is Ironman, he has been having depression and anxiety issues, he is 9yo but he'll turn 10 on February 2nd, we had this crazy idea of post a tweet to see if we can reach Robert Downey Jr. And ask him if he can send a Birthday message for Victor.

I know the possibility for this is les than 0.01% and probably 1 in 14,000,605 but it worths a try!

So if you could go to my account on Twitter <redacted> and help me with a retweet or give me any other ideas so we can make this work!!

Thanks for reading and sorry for the bad English!

UPDATE: Please help me reach Robert Downey Jr. So he can send a birthday message to an awesome kid with leukemia. (30 Jan 2020)

First of all I want to thank everyone for reading my post and giving me different ideas to achieve it.

Thanks to the fact that an excellent person (u/SuckFhatThit) took the time to look for RDJ publicist and then contact them via email. They wrote back and told us that they will send an autographed photo by Robert Downey Jr. for Victor !!! I am sure that this will make him extremely happy. (The letter it's already on it's way to Mexico)

Thank you very much, people of the Internet, thank you for helping me achieve this, at first it seemed impossible and now I can't believe it happened, I also had the opportunity to meet an incredible woman with a giant heart. thanks to everyone!!!

A hug from Mexico to you all!!!

I know this is a small thing on the relative scale of things, but it does always warm my heart when a famous person is willing to do this. I feel so sad for that kid, but I'm glad he had such a caring doctor who wanted to try and get this for him.

I hope he made a full recovery and still has his photo.

I'm also curious about OOP meeting an incredible woman with a giant heart...did this request inadvertently lead to love? I wish we could find out!
