Gaby is always happy when her collections have been a part of giving back to our veterans and families. Her limited edition collection with The Yankee Candle Company debuted May 2015 with a portion going to support Homes for our Troops. Her fabric Collection which included her first quilt Collection “Be Strong, Be Brave, Be There” she was very proud that it was a part of the Quilts of Valor Challenge this year with the proceeds going to the Quilts of Valor Foundation.
Her Homefront Girl® Teddy Bears debuted with the first four bears that with every sale a portion goes back to Operation Homefront. Her gift books are available through Amazon and make great gifts.
She spent the better part of 2016 and 2017 fighting and beating stage 3 Breast Cancer, Gaby is committed to being an advocate and support for her fellow warriors drafted into this unexpected battle. As she often says, “I’m no hero…but I lived a lifetime among them.”
In 2019 Cancer came calling again and Gaby has spent the better part of 2020 fighting it again, but that hasn’t stopped her from moving forward with projects she is energized by including speaking to women’s groups on moving forward despite life’s challenges and continuing with her brand, Homefront Girl®.
“Everyone serves in a military family,” says Gaby, ” They miss the ‘firsts’ of life’s milestones many take for granted and they make that sacrifice just as much as their loved ones that wears the camo and boots, and, we do so proudly for our nation.”
