Psychiatrist Michelle Nichols asked a family friend if he could get some of her favorite musicians to play for her as she undergoes treatment for Stage 4 breast cancer. Many of them jumped at the chance to help.

Dr. J. Mack Slaughter of Fort Worth posted a heartfelt video message to his Instagram asking for help reaching musicians to fulfill one of the requests for his friend, who is suffering from a decade long bout of breast cancer.Social media can be a cesspool of cynicism, intolerance and name-calling, but every once in a while it warms our heart.

The request paid off. Word reached several of the artists on the list including Folds, Hay, Daigle, the blues-rock trio Porterdavis and Heather Maloney, all of whom are working with the family to do livestreams or even live concerts in the the Nichols' home. Nichols and her family went through treatments and sometimes recoveries over the years, and through it all, Slaughter says she never let it interrupt her life.
