We are a non-profit organization dedicated to giving elementary-aged children of color in systemically vulnerable communities the kind of experiences, access, programs, and exposure that Gabrielle had during her short life. We are committed to equipping children with the tools they need to soar above their backgrounds, circumstances, family history, or socioeconomic status.
Gabrielle was a kind and energetic little seven-year-old girl. She suddenly and tragically gained her “angel wings” on June 6, 2017. While her family and friends remain heartbroken over her loss, they are now focused on extending her legacy by helping other children around the world.
With a heart for children and service, Gabrielle’s Wings was started by Gabrielle’s mother, Michelle Hord.
“As a mother, I worked hard to create the types of opportunities to ensure my daughter could reach for the stars. Now, my Gabrielle is with the angels. Gabrielle’s Wings exists for children who may not otherwise have the educational or cultural exposure they need to truly soar.
I hope you will join us in fighting for these children. Every child is Gabrielle. Every child is our future. We stand in the gap for them.”
Gabrielle’s Wings partners with various organizations and individuals around the world to help children soar beyond their circumstances and reach their full potential. Please contact us if you are interested in partnering with us.
Gabrielle’s Wings believes that children have unlimited potential with equal educational opportunities. Not only do these opportunities strengthen a child’s ability to succeed in life, but can also inspire others to do the same.
