Gisele Barreto Fetterman is an American personality who belongs to Brazilian descent and is working as a philanthropist and nonprofit executive. She has developed herself into an executive helping people around the world in the wake of food and shelter. She is the founder of the non-profit Freestore 15104 and also the co-founder of two other nonprofits called For Good Pgh and 412 Food Rescue. Gisele is famously known for being the wife of Lieutenant-Governor John Fetterman and thereby called the Second Lady of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. She was an immigrant in her early years when she came to the United States and had to struggle to earn a livelihood because of being an undocumented immigrant.
Early Life
Gisele was born on 27th February 1982 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was brought up by her mother along with her younger brother. Both the children shifted to the United States along with their mother when Gisele was only 7 years old and went to the country as undocumented immigrants. During the early period after their immigration from Brazil to the US, the family used to live in a single room apartment in New York City, where the children started teaching themselves English lessons while the mother started working in the hotels and houses as a cleaner. After 15 years of living in shadow, Gisele became eligible to receive a green card in 2004, and later in 2009, she became eligible to be called a citizen of the United States.
Sometimes, the family had to go through struggling days and sometimes without any food because of being undocumented immigrants. Gisele’s mother, who was a Ph.D. scholar at Brazil University and was working as a nutritionist and educator, had to work as a cleaner and had to take odd jobs in houses and hotels. Even her mother was often denied to pay the dues because of her status as an undocumented immigrant. Gisele, who was unknown of the English language after she arrived in the US, got herself enrolled in the second language program at her school in Queens. The family later relocated to Newark, New Jersey and on the other hand, Gisele started studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Gisele Barreto Fetterman has mostly devoted her life to helping others and has focused on the fulfillment of nutrition, food, equity, and meeting the basic needs of people.

Consequently, she founded a nonprofit organization called 412 Food Rescue, which helps the volunteers to reach the retailers who have enough food to deliver to the nonprofits and serve the hungry people. Despite this, she is also the co-founder of another nonprofit called For Good PGH which has brought numerous initiatives and one of which includes “Hello Hijab”.
