Gabriella Banda - New York Fashion Week or bust!

Gabriella Banda is a 10 year old Deaf child whose dream is to become a model and actress! Through hard work and determination Gabriella has accomplished little in the eyes of the fashion industry, but much in her own eyes and in the eyes of her parents, family and supporters. Earlier this year Gabriella was given an opportunity to walk for a new designer during the Dallas Fashion X runway show. Char Franey an amazing designer gave her an opportunity to showcase one of her many talents. Gabriella has been invited to walk in Char Franey's runway fashion show during New York Fashion week, February 10th. This is a dream come true for her! We have been blessed by a dear friend who has helped us with the flights to NYC, and now we need a little help to pay for hotel, and other expenses. Our goal is to not only raise money for Gabriella’s adventure, but to also raise awareness. We would like to pledge that 10% of the profit from the T-shirt sales will go toward a non-profit called Aid the Silent 98%. This is a local non-profit in San Antonio that helps to bring awareness and help to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Texas. Please help us by purchasing a T-shirt. The more we raise the more we will give!

Gabriella wanted me to mention that Nyle DiMarco is her hero- he has broken barriers in the fashion industry and she wants to do the same. #Deaftalent #GabriellaBanda

Thank you!
