Travis Barker gave a blind 9-year-old a gift to help them
Travis Barker was a ray of hope for a young fan in need when he attended podcaster Charlie 'Rocket' Jabaley's Dream Factory event in Los Angeles on Friday evening. At the event, the Blink-182 drummer met nine-year-old Grayson Roberts, who was running a lemonade stand to help raise money for his dream to travel the world while he still has 'a little vision in one eye'. Grayson was born with Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome, leaving him with Glaucoma and Aniridia. He has undergone 32 surgeries, including 5 cornea transplants, in an attempt to improve his vision.

Travis was impressed by Grayson's ambition and surprised him with a set of drumsticks. After introducing himself, Travis said, "I saw a video of you playing drums and singing. I brought some donations for you. I brought some money for you."

Grayson then asked the star if they could play the drums together, and Travis happily obliged. After requesting a cover of Adam Jensen's 2017 song Street Fight, Grayson's mother apologized for not practicing any of Travis' songs. However, Travis was unfazed and said, "I got it. I'm gonna learn this one on the spot."

The touching encounter between the two was shared online by both Grayson and Charlie. On Instagram, Grayson thanked Travis for taking the time to visit his lemonade stand and for allowing him to perform with him. Charlie followed with a video of Travis tasting lemonade from Grayson's stand and praised the rockstar for his kind-hearted gesture.

Travis Barker was an inspiration to this young fan, and his kind-hearted gesture will be remembered for years to come.
