Athena Gives Back
with her mom, Shannon
Athena: Heart Warrior - Gives Back to Ronald McDonald House
"As we navigated Athena's health care and prepared for her open heart surgery, there have been so many sources of support. I wanted to find a way to give back. One day, a friend sent this new nail polish for me to try and it was exactly that little bit of happiness I needed. I saw they had a design to support heart disease and I knew this would be a fun way to raise money. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these fun fabulous nails will go to Ronald McDonald House Charities which has provided us with a place to stay during the surgeries and recovery. "
