Simon Cowell wants you to think he is this mean cruel judge that breaks the hearts of aspiring singers everywhere but the reality is Simon is just a softie..

Sophie is a 18month old girl who was diagnosed with with a neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer earlier this year. Her mom has been working to raise the $800,000 needed for an experimental treatment. One of Simon’s friends, X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke, told him of the mother’s fundraising efforts and Simon gave the girl the remaining $160,000 needed! “I’d told Simon about the situation and that there was no time to waste because Sophie needs the treatment immediately, and he decided to give her the money in a second,” Burke tells the Mail. “Now we’re hopeful Sophie will be on the flight to the U.S. today.”

The treatment is said to have the possibility of raising Sophie’s survival rate from 20 percent to 90 percent!
