9-year-old makes bracelets, donates to local charities
A young Brooklynite is spreading happiness one bracelet at a time.
When the COVID-19 pandemic cut the school year short, 9-year-old Gianna Solitario used some of her free time to make bracelets and sell them to friends, family and others. With the help of her mother, she started Gigi’s Creations. For each bracelet she sells, she gives money to a charity that means something to her.
“Because of the pandemic, I’ve been bored, so I started making bracelets and me and my mom decided to start a business,” said the youngster. “I make the bracelets to make people happy.”
