I wish to meet my favorite football player
However, the wish granters had prepared something special for Adoni’s wish day. They wouldn’t only throw their fairy dust to encourage Adonis but some more special kids were asked to be part of that day. Kids whose wishes had been fulfilled during the pandemic period and did not have the opportunity to enjoy more surprises, were now invited to visit the field of their favorite team as well and support Adonis with all their love.
Adonis was shown around the field accompanied by this lovely company, his family and his favorite cousin. We learnt about the history of the field and the team; we visited the changing rooms and the VIP room where Adonis had the chance to ask Yannis so many many questions.
The amazing hospitality of the team PAOK made the day very special for all of us! Laughter, emotions, interesting discussions, a lot of food and a great football cake were what Adonis had dreamed of! Adonis’ parents told us the following day, “thank you is so little for what we experienced as a family thanks to you! We will always remember you for everything you have offered to us with such joy and love towards our Adoni. He told us that it was the best day of his life! May God bless you all and keep sharing smiles and love”.
