Gabrielle's Story

Gabrielle was a remarkable seven-year-old whose kindness and vibrant spirit touched everyone around her. When she gained her angel wings on June 6, 2017, her mother Michelle Hord made a promise: to create opportunities for other children to soar as Gabrielle did. We honor her legacy by creating meaningful opportunities and support for children, ensuring her spirit of generosity and compassion continues to make a positive impact in the world.

As a mother, I worked hard to create opportunities for my daughter to reach for the stars. Now that my Gabrielle is with the angels, we exist for children who may not otherwise have the educational or cultural exposure they need to truly soar. Every child is Gabrielle. Every child is our future. We stand in the gap for them.” — Michelle Hord, Founder
