At Gabrielle's Wings, we believe in the “butterfly effect,” which says one small change can have a huge impact.

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.
