in honor, remembrance, & love
The Isabella Joy foundation is dedicated to celebrating Bella's life and legacy. Our goal is to keep her memory alive by sharing her love, light, and story with the rest of the world.
In Memory of Love/Light: The Bella Vision
In the shadow of loss, there blooms a light of hope—a beacon guided by the spirit of Isabella Joy Thallas. Bella, a vibrant soul taken far too soon, fell victim to senseless gun violence on June 10, 2020, while cherishing a simple moment of life, walking her dog alongside her boyfriend. Despite the darkness of that day, we pursue a chance to resolve: to transform grief into action, loss into legacy.
Our Foundation: From Tragedy to Transformation
The pain of Bella's absence is immeasurable, yet it fuels our mission. We stand at a pivotal moment in society, where gun violence casts long shadows across our communities, leaving scars that seem to never heal. Within this challenge lies our resolve to make a difference, to light a path to healing through unity, creativity, and love.
The Vision: A World Reimagined Through Compassion and Art
We honor Bella—not just as a memory, but as a movement. Our non-profit organization emerges as a testament to what can be achieved when we channel our collective grief into collective action. We believe in the power of art, kindness, and fashion to heal and bring people together. By integrating these elements into the fabric of underserved communities, we aim not only to commemorate lives lost but to empower those who remain, turning sorrow into strength.
Our Journey Forward: Art, Kindness, Fashion
Bella's passion for life was mirrored in her love for art and fashion—a celebration of expression and individuality. In her honor, we embark on initiatives that foster creativity, from community art projects that beautify and unite, to fashion shows that celebrate personal stories and resilience. Every brushstroke, every act of kindness, every runway walk is a step towards healing, a tribute to those we've lost and a testament to our capacity for hope.
Join Us: Crafting a Legacy of Hope
In the face of adversity, we choose to love harder, inspired by Bella's light. Our journey is one of hope, healing, and humanity. By giving back through art, kindness, and fashion, we not only honor Bella's legacy but ignite a movement towards a more compassionate, vibrant community. Together, we can reshape the narrative, turning the tide against gun violence and paving the way for a future where no other light is extinguished too soon.
