Last week, 18-year-old Packers fan, Callie Kessler, had her tonsils removed, and her parents captured a tearful, post-surgery video where Kessler professed her love for Aaron Rodgers and wished for 400 popsicles … all while still feeling the remnants of anesthesia.
The video went viral because of course it did, and word of the video eventually made its way to Rodgers’ girlfriend, Danica Patrick.
That was when Danica reached out to the young Packers fan and looked to make her post-surgery wish come true. Those 400 popsicles would be on the way.
We would like to buy you 400 popsicles. Dm your address. đ
We hope you feel better, but if you donât, the popsicles should help a little! đđź @AaronRodgers12 https://t.co/DMezMuCDWy— Danica Patrick (@DanicaPatrick) February 8, 2020
Come Monday, Patrick delivered on the promise. Kessler took to Twitter and thanked Danica and Rodgers for the 400 Otter Pops.
Thank you @AaronRodgers12 and @DanicaPatrick #gopackgo unreal!!! pic.twitter.com/nw9JgA4W2e

And sure, it wasn’t the most lavish of gifts — 400 Otter Pops go for around $20. But Kessler specifically asked for 400 popsicles, and that’s exactly what she got.
While Rodgers didn’t respond to the video on social media, Patrick and Rodgers both, according to ESPN, made the arrangements to send Kessler the frozen treats.
