American Idol contestant visits Gainesville Ronald McDonald House patient

Jacksonville singer Khloe Grace, who recently earned a golden ticket on American Idol, traveled to the Gainesville Ronald McDonald House Charities to visit a teenage patient recovering from heart surgery. The connection began when the patient, Kylie Poppelreiter — who was born with a heart condition affecting the left side of her heart — commented on Grace’s social media. Grace performed for Poppelreiter and other families staying at the Ronald McDonald House during her visit.
