Today on The Elevated Hope Project, we are honored to share Mayson's remarkable journey. A graduate of Accelerated Learning Center in Phoenix, Mayson has lived through more loss in her young life than many face in a lifetime. Yet through every hardship, she remained grounded, compassionate, and determined to move forward.

In this candid conversation, Mayson reflects on her upbringing, the challenges her family faced, the heartbreak of losing her sister and later her mother, and how ALC became a safe place to heal, grow, and rediscover her strength. Now working, building her own independence, and exploring her future, Mayson shares heartfelt advice for any young person dealing with grief: "Just look forward. Don't let your trauma define who you are or what your future holds."

This episode is a testament to resilience, supportive school communities, and the hope that can rise from even the most difficult seasons. We hope her story inspires you the way it inspired all of us.
