Art finds beauty in the unexpected. Imagine a cup of coffee—not as a drink, but as color on paper, becoming art.​

Today, on , we're sharing Ana's story because her technique of treating coffee like watercolor shows us that imagination can transform even the most ordinary things into something precious. Just as coffee becomes art in her hands, we too can turn our lives into something beautiful with what we're given—even if it doesn't seem special, even when it feels painful.​

Ana says when she's in her studio, the world stops. It's her escape from the long daily routines that living with requires. It's a reminder for us all: we need spaces where life's demands can wait, and we can simply be ourselves.​

Strength isn't always loud—it can also be found in the authenticity and the courage to show yourself.​

That's how Ana grew up: learning never to hide her condition. Her parents encouraged her to face life with confidence, which made her strong, self-assured, independent in her choices and determined to follow her dream of becoming an artist.​​

When Ana speaks openly about , it can be disarming at first, but it helps break down prejudice and ultimately puts others at ease. For Ana, talking about her condition is both a personal act and a way of advocating for the community. ​​

Today, Ana has become the example she once wished to see as a child: a confident woman, an artist, a person to look up to.​​

On this , Sandra's story reminds us that kindness does not always come easily, especially when you are going through a lot. Yet, it can make a huge difference not only for others, but also for yourself.​

Sandra experienced this first hand when she had to face disease diagnosis, struggling to find anything positive in that moment. Once she found a way to cope with it, she started helping others and realized this was beneficial to her too. That is when she finally found the bright side she was looking for: the people she met along her journey and the relationships she built within the community.​

For most, touch is the simplest way to connect, but for those living with , every touch is both a longing for closeness and a moment of vulnerability. Even the lightest contact can mean pain because of the fragile skin. That’s why the fist bump has become more than the community greeting—it’s a symbol of respect, resilience and human connection. It’s a gesture that says: “I see you. I stand with you.”​

This is the core of the new awareness campaign “Every Touch Tells A Story” that goes beyond the disease and considers the patient as a human being with a story that deserve to be seen, heard, and understood.​

During , help us amplify every story that every touch conveys. ​

Seeing Patricia today — playing pickleball, practicing karate, taking a walk with her dog, surrounded by the love of her family and friends — it’s hard to imagine she went through so many difficult years, marked by the weight of undiagnosed . And yet, the woman she is now was built day by day — through small steps, quiet determination, and a mindset guided by positive thinking.

As Patricia says: "For me, it's been a long, hard journey to get to where I am now, to know what to do, how to deal with it. I felt like my life was over. I have a fantastic life now, I mean, I really have a fantastic life."

Her story shows that the courage and perseverance to believe in better days can help make them real. Just like Patricia did.
