Hayden’s Healing Journey

My name is Hayli and I am trying to raise funds for my son, Hayden.

Since his Dad passed, he really struggled to find joy and meaning in life. He quit all his extracurriculars and even started giving his stuff away.

I knew he was lost and needed a solid environment where he could heal. Many men in my family have attended Missouri Military Academy and have had positive, life-changing experiences there.

In an effort to save my sweet son, I decided to take a chance and sent him there in August of 2023.

Since arriving, he has picked the Euphonium back up, joined the Cross Country team, helped create a Chess Club, and has received multiple promotions and ribbons for his stellar behavior and positive attitude.

He has said repeatedly that he really likes it there and wants to go back next year. He has been invited to join leadership and is excited to help other cadets.

I want to be able to send him back in the Fall. Unfortunately, it is costly and almost bankrupted me to send him this year.

I want to ask for your donation because this school has brought my son back from the dead and is allowing him to show his true, incredible colors!
