My fear friend & little soul sister Claire Wineland would have turned 25 today.
Claire was actually the inspiration for my first film #fivefeetapart. Stella’s character (@haleyluhoo) was inspired by Claire, and I originally got the idea for the film over sushi (her favorite food) where she told me that two people with CF can’t touch. She helped me develop the story, made sure everything related to CF was accurate, and even surprised the cast at our table read.
Unfortunately she passed just before I was able to show her the first cut of the film. 💔Getting the chance to hold her hand, pray over her, and say goodbye was one of the most important moments of my life. That night, I promised her I would do whatever I could to keep her memory and her foundation alive – as helping families with CF meant everything to her.
It would mean the world to me and her family if you followed @clairesplacefoundation and considered donating today in her honor. They are doing incredible work and every dollar goes to supporting families who are struggling with #cysticfibrosis .
I love you Claire, thank you for always reminding us that we can make our lives a beautiful piece of art. | Posted on 11/Apr/2022 03:49:44
