Travis Mason Foundation

In 2022, 21 year old Travis Mason lost his life to suicide after struggling with mental health for several years prior. During that time, he and his father found the availability of competent help to be difficult or impossible to find. Although they actively sought help through therapists and their local healthcare provider - and both had services to offer - neither were helpful, and both were incredibly difficult to access, even with insurance and money for care. This experience made it difficult to imagine what a family without insurance or financial struggles would be faced with.

The Travis Mason Foundation believes most struggling with mental health would accept help if it were easier to access, affordable for them, and with the knowledge they'd be paired with a trusted, competent therapist.

The Travis Mason Foundation aims to improve all 3 challenges: Access, Affordability, and Quality. The primary focus will be providing competent therapists at no cost to struggling children and young adults.

100% of contributions to the Travis Mason Foundation are be used to pay for therapists for children and young adults. All administrative and marketing costs are self-funded personally by the founder and father.

Arielle's Light

On November 5, 2024, Arielle Carrillo died by suicide after silently battling mental health challenges that went unnoticed by those around her. Her passing left her family, friends, and community in shock, with unanswered questions many families face: Was it the stigma surrounding mental health? Was it due to financial barriers to accessing care?

Arielle was a bright light in the lives of everyone around her. Confident, driven, and deeply compassionate, she was always the first to offer support - a listening ear, encouraging words, or simply her presence. Her vibrant spirit shone through her passions of dance, her love for animals, and her care for others. Her kindness and radiant spirit inspired everyone she knew.

Yet, behind her bright smile, Arielle struggled silently. Like so many others, she hid her pain , leaving those who loved her unaware of the depth of her battle.

Arielle's story is a heartbreaking reflection of a larger crisis. She is not alone.

Millions of young people face mental health challenges in isolation, constrained by societal stigma, fear of judgement, and financial barriers to care. Despite increased awareness, timely and affordable mental health support remains out of reach for far too many.

The consequences of this unmet need are devastating - but preventable - with the right resources, safe spaces and accessible care. Arielle’s light continues to shine through the lives we touch, illuminating paths to hope, healing, and support.
