Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/a> lifted the spirit of a young Wicked<\/em><\/a> fan who is battling stage IV cancer with a sweet package and a special message.<\/p>\n

Kid influencer Brielle Bird, known online as Brie Stronger Than Cancer, took to Instagram<\/a> on Wednesday, August 6, to share a video in which she showed off the package she received from Grande, 32.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, everybody, today I\u2019m gonna open another package, and today\u2019s package is the best one yet,\u201d Brie, 9, began. \u201cIt\u2019s from my favorite person in the whole wide world, Ariana Grande, who plays [Glinda in] Wicked<\/em>, and I am matching this little Funko Pop here, and she sent me two packages, and I am so excited to open them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brie showed the camera her Glinda the Good Witch Funko Pop before opening up one of Grande\u2019s boxes to reveal a pink Wicked<\/em> tumbler and several Squishmallow stuffed toys. The collection included the Cowardly Lion, Glinda, the Tin Man, Elphaba, the Wizard of Oz and the Scarecrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the Wicked Witch of the West, but it\u2019s Elphaba, and she\u2019s pretty kind in the movie, just the wizard \u2026 he is not smart. He wants to stop animals from talking, and I think that\u2019s crazy,\u201d Brie said. \u201cSo she\u2019s a good person, not a bad one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brie also received a bunny stuffed animal dressed in a Glinda costume, nail polish, makeup bags, a full size bottle of Grande\u2019s Cloud Eau de Parfum, products from Grande\u2019s r.e.m. beauty and a tote bag.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi Brie, it\u2019s Ariana. A little birdie told me (your mom told me) that you are a fan of Wicked<\/em> and of Glinda\u2019s, so I was inspired to put together this little care package for you that you will receive today. I hope you love it,\u201d the actress said. \u201cMy personal favorite part is the Squishmallows. They\u2019re very comfy and very cute, but I hope you enjoy it and I hope it makes you smile.\u201d<\/p>\n
