In 2020, Antonia's family was preparing for a ski trip when everything changed—Antonia was diagnosed with lymphoma. After enduring months of intense treatment, her wish was simple: to reconnect with her family and reclaim the time they had lost. Antonia and her sister, Clara, found joy together on the slopes, sharing laughter and being sisters again. “It was like a celebration of everything I’ve gone through and how strong my family is together. Now, we can just live.” Antonia's wish came true; now it's time to grant another child's wish. Act now and donate at https://lnkd.in/egtJTKYJ to change lives today. 💙✨ #makeawishcwnc #wishfulgiving
