After overcoming childhood trauma, alcoholism, and a number of other challenges, Micheala Ross' biggest battle was still ahead.  Following the loss of her beloved son Samson due to a car accident in late 2023, she was determined to not only maintain her sobriety, but to honor her son's legacy by creating a foundation to serve others in his memory.  Live Live Samson has allowed Micheala and the others who lost Samson to transform pain into purpose.
