latest album was titled believe but in July 2011 Justin's efforts to spread hope and heart turned personal when he learned about the berry family whose lives were torn apart for a tragic car accident Josh and Robin berry both in their early 40s were marathon runners with beaming bills good health but more than anything they cherished the three children Peter nine Erin eight and Willis six the berries were driving home to Texas after a vacation in Colorado when the vehicle was struck head-on Josh and Robin were both killed but all three kids survived the boys Erin and Peter will have paralyzed from the waist down they were in the midst of a much anticipated road trip when it came to a tragic end Saturday night Robin Barry was driving in West Texas when investigators say a car veered into her Lane causing a head-on collision she died instantly her husband Joshua died at the hospital Josh's brother Matt and his wife Simon became the kids legal guardians Matt and Simon along with their two kids Misha and Noah approve that love and support no no limits still the medical cost of rehabilitation therapy in school are explosive and have become a constant stress for the couple this is where Justin Bieber stepped in and Peter Aaron áwillá it's just in here I just wanted to let you know my prayers go out to you guys and the whole world is thinking about you and we are all trying to help as much as we can love you and stay strong experts say it's going to eventually cost millions so justin bieber is encouraging folks to donate to the family today show your hearts is trending big today on Twitter from all over the world as far away as China people are getting involved in donating they're helping out the berry family I found out about these kids roughly about a year ago I found that they got in a car accident they lost their parents I thought this was a crazy crazy story and I wanted people to you know I wanted to raise awareness about it so I put a picture of me holding my heart up like this and we got a bunch of other celebrities to put their heart up as well and before we knew it you know all the world knew about this Oh on October 30th 2012 just over a year after the accident the believe tour made its way to Houston Texas the concert happened to fall in Peters 11th birthday and Justin and guided the berry family to come meet him and see the show young Hollywood was there to capture the special moment hey what's up guys in the hose up there did you come on man are you doing good to see you are you doing good good hi give me a hug how are you thanks good you excited for the show yeah yeah the word believe' is so inspirational you know believe in hope in their dreams and although you know bad things have happened you know there's still hope for the future all right your ball thank you girl do you play pool more why not a bomb you're bad we'll come on you want you can be on my team cause heavy deez nutz to sir it's your birthday nothing entry where would I be Peter Aaron and Willa learned at a young age that life can change in an instant do you guys have any specific moment or memory where everything that has happened has just hit you sometimes all son you're thinking about something and then also and you're thinking about your mom and dad like a second Lane and you're like oh I was checking to see one word to them what do you guys think that one word would be lucky I wish it was really depressing and and annoying because once you lose somebody like if you're not with them you don't get to say something right before and um once they go you'll never get them back sometimes I go to school and then services some of the kids mom's coming up and they're like sitting with in Moraga I'm like oh I wish I could do that with my mom but they're not here anymore so I can't do that but what the berry kids can do is pick up the phone and text Houston Texans defensive end JJ Watt and once visited them at the hospital and we built up a relationship they took down my cell phone number so they started texting me and calling me and now we're good buddies and they're great kids are unbelievable and they're kind of an inspiration to me the thing is they're so busy they're hard to get ahold of I mean they're doing basketball they're in school they're doing all these activities so it's actually harder for me to get a hold of them than it is for them to get a hold of me but we're doing great I'm excited I'm gonna go see one of their basketball games soon so I'm really excited about that that'll be fun yeah I want to teach kids that you can do anything you want this world as long as they're willing to have big dreams and work hard to get there dreaming big is only half of it you have to be willing to put in the time in the effort and that's really the message I want to get across if you did Justin not only tweeted the berry kids to front-row seats at his show he also gave them something money can't buy hope and a reason to smile everything's gonna be alright Keita Aaron and Willa or a true testament to the word believe it was so much love surrounding them their belief in themselves were stronger every day so the fire hi Stuart everything's gonna be all right cuz everything's nice to serve nothing if you are didn't treat me where would I be see Oh if you didn't play
