F⦻GG is Tending the Spring

(DISCLAIMER/ TRIGGER WARNING! mention of suicide, please proceed with that warning.)

Hello, my name is F⦻GG, it/it's/corpse,  I'm 13 years old. Around November of 2024, I went to my second mental hospital for a suicide attempt. After that second mental hospital, my mother had found Springhouse community schools and offered for me to go there. I ended up leaving public school, and coming to Springhouse. Once I got here, it was immediately better than public school, and I got a lot happier (which is also the product of getting on better medications). I never felt like I truly belonged anywhere, but ever since I've gotten here I felt like it was easier to coexist, even if I don't fit in, but the cool thing about Springhouse is that there isn't a way to fit in, we're all different! Anyways, thank you for reading my rant! It would be wonderful to donate to our school and keep an open mind, because in that case, it could give people like me another chance to find somewhere safe, so another young teen is saved from suicide.

This June, Springhouse is raising $120,000 to sustain the staff, the land, and the practices that keep this community alive, and to support what's next, including working with land and creativity to grow food and make art, attuning to the seasons year round.

You are not just supporting an organization. You are tending a spring, one that nourishes our local community and ripples out, inspiring people and places beyond.

Every gift helps keep the spring flowing. Give Today!
