Bittersweet Thanksgiving Gift: Dying Houston Teen Granted Permission to See Parents One Last Time

After many social media pleas and online petitions, Qirat Chapra has been granted visas for her parents. The teen, who was born in the US to traveling Pakistani parents, has been in hospitals almost ever since suffering from an array of medical problems and now an incurable cancer. Her parents were sent back to Pakistan over 10 years ago as their visas expired, but as doctors say her final days are approaching, Qirat wants to see her parents and hug them one last time. Now she hopefully will get that chance.
