Fall River Woman Gets a Sweet Video Message from Donnie Wahlberg

If you think you're having a good day, it can't get any better than what Fall River resident Racheal DeFaria experienced recently.

While the Boston Celtics were crushing the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, DeFaria received a gift that would make any New Kids On The Block fan's heart soar.

The packed crowd at TD Garden that night included an impressive roster of celebrities, including NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, UFC CEO Dana White, Boston Bruins superstar Zdeno Chara, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and actress Jenny McCarthy. It's safe to say that where McCarthy goes, Donnie Wahlberg, her husband and NKOTB frontrunner, is likely to follow.

In the midst of this star-studded event, DeFaria’s day was made unforgettable by a thoughtful gesture from her friend, Vitaly Fedosik, owner of Tosca Drive Auto Body in Stoughton. Fedosik happens to be good friends with Wahlberg (talk about a flex). He arranged for Wahlberg to send DeFaria a personalized video message.

Here's what the 54-year-old star of Blue Bloods had to say:

For fans of NKOTB or Wahlberg himself, a simple hello from the star would no doubt be a treasure. DeFaria, a diehard fan, was overjoyed by this personal connection with her idol.

It's heartwarming to witness these special bonds between celebrities and their fans, showing how a small act of kindness can create lasting joy.

Now that’s what we call a good friend.
