❤️Bonjour from Virginia!

My name is Isabella, as you can probably tell from my accent I’m French and I've called Virginia home for the past three years.
My husband, General Philippe Lavigne, leads NATO's Allied Command Transformation here in Norfolk.

I’m also the proud President of SOPC, NATO’s spouses’ organization that raises money for various charities.
But beyond those titles, I'm a mom of two wonderful boys Thomas and Antoine and a passionate advocate for children's health.

As a Ph.D. pharmacist, I know firsthand the importance of health. That's why I'm swimming across the Lafayette River on August 29th for Operation Smile!

Operation Smile provides life-changing surgeries for children born with cleft palates. These surgeries not only improve their appearance but also allow them to eat properly, socialize with ease, and attend school with confidence.

For just $240, they can transform a child's life! I would say save a child’s life.
My goal is to raise AT LEAST 6000$ to help 25 children or more to have a beautiful smile to embrace life.

This 1.2-mile swim might have some fishy company – turtles, hopefully dolphins, but definitely jellyfish!

Every dollar you donate makes a splash! Please consider supporting Operation Smile and helping me reach my goal.

Merci beaucoup for your kind generosity!

Isabella
