About Gabriel’s House

The Palmdale City Council voted unanimously to approve a new Neighborhood House in Focus Neighborhood 3 and name it “Gabriel’s House,” in memory of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez who was tragically killed from child abuse. Working with local partners from The Art Branch, “Gabriel’s House” serves as a free music and performing arts center to provide children in the area with the opportunity to develop their creative talents.

  1. Hope you guys had a good turn out. Was there early and got me a nice lamp for $3.00 and some really good brownies.. $5.00

  2. I used to work for the guy who runs saves& he was the biggest jerk I’ve ever worked for. He was mean & treated me cruelly.

  3. I was going to have a garage sale this weekend, but because Gabriels story means so much to me i am now going to call and see if you would like to pick a half a garage full of things to donate.

    • Wow! That would be amazing! Please call 661-526-8685 to schedule a time! Thank you so much

  4. I wish them tons of success especially since SAVES provides tons of help for the locals of the Palmdale area. Also wish Gabriel house the best.
