As a father of 8 and a fashion designer, Elie Balleh knows the significance of how you look is how you feel, sharing, “I want to give back to the community; we as adults must lead by example and show these students that good still exists in these difficult times.” In efforts to raise awareness for autism, he has partnered with Averyon Academy. Aveyron focuses on autistic students ages twelve and up learning to partake in day-to-day chores so they can live independently.
