You may remember back in December when Mac Miller donated $50k to the Make-A-Wish foundation during his concert in Pittsburgh. Yesterday Mac continued working with the Make-A-Wish foundation as he helped to grant the wish of Bob Stewart (aka Yung Ka), a young rapper who suffers from a disease known as T-cell lymphoma.
