"Riella first participated in the Princess pageant in 2018... And while I wasn't sure if she would care at all about it, I can honestly say I feel she loved it. Meg and her team put so much work and love into it and Briella felt that. She was able to feel special, be in the spot light and enjoy meeting girls just like her. It was amazing for her and for me. I feel like Briella misses out on so much because of her disabilities that seeing her participate, with the help of princesses, made my heart soar. I cried happy tears seeing Briella be able to participate. It made me smile. I am so excited to have Briella participate in years to come and watch her grow through this pageant."
