Sofia always dreamed of going to Coachella. This year, one of her best friends in the world is going and decided to bring a piece of Sofia with her.

Alyssa is at Coachella handing out 16 of Sofia’s bracelets. 16 bracelets to honor the 16 years she lived. Moments like this are especially humbling and touching to our family because we know Sofia is never forgotten by those she left behind.

Thank you, Alyssa. Sofia is dancing in the desert with you 🦋💜
