At just six years old, twin sisters Mia and Lila faced a life-changing diagnosis—an extremely rare genetic condition that caused severe blood clots. The disease led to complications so severe that both girls had to undergo leg amputations within months of each other. While the surgeries were devastating, the twins leaned on each other for strength. “When I saw Mia smile even after her surgery, I knew I could get through it too,” Lila shared. Their unwavering bond became their greatest source of resilience, helping them navigate a world forever changed.

Today, Mia and Lila, now 18, are living proof that happiness can flourish even in adversity. The sisters have mastered using prosthetics and taken up competitive wheelchair basketball, earning local recognition. Beyond sports, they have become advocates for children with disabilities, using their story to inspire others. “We lost our legs, but not our spirit,” Mia said with a confident grin. The twins continue to support each other, showing the world that joy is not defined by what you’ve lost but by how you choose to live.
