WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Visionary
Dr. Anna Smith: Pastor- MSW, D.D.
From the shadows of a drug-ravaged, low-income community, where dreams often died young, grew a fighter named Anna.
Anna is a survivor where she has overcome substance abuse, homelessness, the gun violence murder of her eldest son, Military Sexual Trauma, Cancer, and Domestic Violence.—
I know the streets,
because I slept on them.
Homeless and alone,
I curled up in abandoned buildings,
hid in cardboard boxes,
and woke to snow melting
on my forehead.
Raised by a sightless mother,
my escape was talking books—
words were my window to a bigger world.
But life came hard
in a drug-infested, impoverished community
where dreams didn’t survive.
I dropped out in ninth grade,
years later earned my GED,
I served as a United States Air Force Medic.
Then at the age of 40, after a non-violent offense,
I met Jesus Christ behind prison walls.
That’s when faith lit my path out.
I walked into higher learning:
Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University, Lincoln Center
Masters in Christian Counseling and Masters in Ministry, National School of Theology
Honorary Doctor of Divinity for selfless service. Seeking my Remnant World Wide Ministries, Praise International Worship and Deliverance Center. Assistant Pastoral Leadership Timothy Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Why do I serve?
Because I have been there—
hungry, cold, forgotten.
That’s why I take children out to restaurants to learn healthy socialization and etiquette,
to apple orchards to see the beauty of nature in action
why do I visit the sick and shut-in?
why do I run clothing drives
and give toys to children
who would have none?
I am their proof
that broken can be rebuilt,
Dr. Anna now speaks for the voiceless, heals the hurting, and confronts injustice. Retired from the battles of the non-secular world, her battlefield is now the mind. body and soul—proclaiming and sharing peace, hope, and love. “Yes your trials are your testimony,” she smiles. “Last tag—you’re it. Spread God's love!”

Dear Friends,
Can you imagine a world where every child and elder experiences the wonders, joy, and inspirations that life has to offer? For the many we serve, the limits of their neighborhoods have quietly become the boundaries of their world. They have never strolled through the lush gardens of the Bronx Botanical Gardens, neither seen or heard the powerful movements and rhythms of the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, a Broadway show, a live professional sports game or picnicked under the sun in Central Park. Some have never sat or dined at a table in a restaurant, learning the art of etiquette.
Eternal Fountain for Life is devoted to changing that. We provide experiential, culturally diverse,universal opportunities that are non-denominational activities that nurture, support self-control, kindness, creativity, and joy!
Our goal is to take as many of youth or seniors on journeys that include dining out, attending Broadway plays, museum explorations, apple picking, swimming lessons, bowling, and more.
Each experience is a step toward broader horizons and lasting memories. But we cannot do this alone. Every adventure requires resources. A simple meal or a ticket to a Broadway show is beyond the funds of the financially challenged!
Your donation will directly support real experiences that foster growth, connection, and empowerment.
Help us with your resources and donations to open the world to those who have never had the chance to truly explore it. Let's make the world a better place—one adventure, one smile, and one memory at a time.
With deepest gratitude to God and the many people past, present and future for gracing my life, and the lives of others with their mentorship, encouragement, support and hope,
Dr. Anna Smith
CEO, Eternal Fountain for Life Inc.
