From Struggle to Strength
At just sixteen, Chanel came to Maryvale carrying more than her belongings she carried the weight of fear, loss, and uncertainty. With the help of her case manager, Edith, and the Connections by Maryvale program, she began to heal. She found safety, counseling, and hope. Step by step, she rebuilt her confidence, pursued her education, and today she’s a proud high school graduate studying to become a phlebotomist.
At this year’s Harvest of Hope Gala, Chanel was recognized for her courageous healing journey a powerful reminder of what compassionate support makes possible.
