At first, Alisa started to receive letters from people in her hometown and now people all over the world have started to send their support.

Massive companies, such as Starbucks, have also joined forces with Alisa, hoping to make her dreams come true.

On March 10, Alisa received the news that the tumour has shrunk but she knows there are no guarantees.

Her dreams have already started to come true, she was serenaded by a man who she proposed to after (for a joke) and while Channing Tatum may not be available for a kiss, he did send her the below video.
