Despite the fact that she’s going through a tricky divorce with husband Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner isn’t letting it consume her every thought. In fact, the “Alias” actress decided to pay a visit to a young fan named Henry Shepherd, who has been battling bone cancer, this past Sunday (July 26) in Atlanta, Georgia.
Shepherd’s mother Carrie told People that Henry loves Garner’s film “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” "I think she was flattered that he recognized her. She visited with us for a while, and it's hard to explain, it just felt so natural. She was so down to earth, so genuine.
Someone said they saw her crying at the nurses' station after seeing all of the sick children with cancer. I think it really got to her, especially as a mother. She is a very sweet person with a very big heart."
