Empathy is one of the most powerful yet quiet forces we can offer someone. It is a deep, genuine understanding of another person's feelings, pain, or joy. It's not just about hearing someone’s story, but truly feeling it with them.

In a world that often feels rushed or distracted, Bella taught us the incredible value of slowing down and showing we care. One small act of kindness, born from empathy, has the power to shine light into someone’s darkest moment. And Bella did that again and again. 

Her legacy reminds us that we each hold the ability to impact someone’s world—not with grand acts, but with simple compassion and kindness.  Even in the darkest moments of her own journey, Bella found ways to shine light for others. Kindness is a force, and empathy is its greatest companion. Through every action, Bella showed us how to live with grace, compassion, and love. We honor her by carrying that forward with this foundation and to recognize others who chose to lead with kindness.
