“We at The Fountain believe that every voice should be heard and that challenges have a capacity to offer insight into our a person’s lives.
We all face new challenges in our lives.

We want to hear about your challenges and how you mentally, physically, and/or spiritually prepare for them. How do you find strength when you feel it does not exist? And what have you learned, or are you learning, from your challenges?”
