Bon Jovi Surprises Fan at Soul Kitchen in Toms River

Jon Bon Jovi surprised a very special fan at his JBJ Soul Kitchen in Toms River over the weekend!

Carol Cesario is battling stage 4 lung cancer and the staff at Soul Kitchen and Bon Jovi himself worked hard to surprise the mother. Her lifelong wish was to meet the rocker.

Cesario's family set up a gofundme page to help raise money for medical expenses.

Cesario's daughter Rosie wrote on her Facebook page about the experience...

“Today my mom’s dream came true! After loving Jon Bon Jovi for 30 years she finally met him. He invited our family to his restaurant for dinner and surprised her. He spent almost two hours hanging out with her and just chatting with my family.”

What a good dude!

The JBJ Soul Kitchen is a community restaurant that serves paying and non-paying customer. Diners can earn their meal by volunteering at the restaurant. Paying diners directly affect change by purchasing a "Pay It Forward" gift certificate. By paying $20 or more, they help the cost of a non-paying customer that's in need.

The Toms River location is the second for Bon Jovi - the original JBJ Soul Kitchen is located in Red Bank.
