The Story Why:

The Always Keep Faith Foundation was established in memory of Taylor Faith, a remarkable young woman whose impact on those around her continues to be felt. Taylor was a cherished friend, a loving sister, a devoted daughter, and a sophomore in high school. In addition to excelling academically, she was an accomplished competitive cheerleader, an active volunteer in her community, and a committed participant in her church. Taylor’s kindness and spirit touched countless lives.

​

Tragically, Taylor’s life was cut short in 2021, just weeks after celebrating her 15th birthday. Her passing came as an unexpected shock to her family, friends, and all who knew her. Despite her apparent happiness, Taylor’s mental health struggles were largely silent, hidden behind the bright moments she shared with her loved ones. The weekend we lost her, there were no outward signs of distress. Instead, Taylor spent time with her family, making plans for the future: talking with her dad about where she would practice driving, designing her new room with her mom, and singing and dancing with her little sister. These moments, full of joy and laughter, are the last memories her family has of her.

​

But beneath the surface, Taylor was silently grappling with loneliness and a longing for deeper connection—feelings that were difficult to see and even harder to voice. She was trying to navigate the isolation many young people face, but her struggles went unnoticed, even by those who were closest to her. Taylor is a clear representation of how mental health struggles can be quiet and almost unnoticeable.

​

The loss of Taylor has reinforced the urgency of mental health awareness, and it is this understanding that drives the work of the Always Keep Faith Foundation. Our mission is to raise awareness, provide resources, and foster open conversations about mental health to help prevent other families from experiencing the same heartbreak.

​

Through this foundation, we honor Taylor’s legacy by keeping her memory alive, advocating for those who are silently struggling, and reminding everyone that no one is ever truly alone. Always keep faith—because sometimes, the signs we need are the ones we least expect.
