Capital Funds for Essential Bookstore

Hi, my name is Trisha Clerk, owner and founder of Essential Bookstore in Atascocita, Texas. This is a unique bookstore that includes a high-tech literacy center offering dyslexia and reading intervention to children and adults. In an effort to provide mental health support to my guests, I would like to include a waterfall fountain. Research has shown that the noise of waterfalls can help to lower stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. This is due to the fact that water produces negative ions, which can positively affect our mood and energy levels. This fountain will be placed in Connie's Corner, as a reminder that my Aunt Connie, like so many of us, had her own struggles with mental health.
