About Us
We are all about helping people with intellectual disabilities and their loved ones flourish.
The highest priority of FEARLESS4EVERÂ is to promote the emotional health of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We believe in taking action with urgency in order to raise public awareness about some of the most pressing issues facing people with these disabilities in our society.
Who Are We?
FEARLESS4EVER was started by two fearless women (Mickie Anderson and Clarice Yentsch) who have at various times in their lives been given the titles of biological mom, foster mom, adoptive mom, and caregiver of many.
Their passion developed after realizing the challenges faced by their loved ones with developmental disabilities.
They have developed a non-profit organization comprised of volunteers who are passionate about improving the lives of those who have developmental disabilities.
Their goal is to walk beside people with disabilities and also those who care for them to enable them to flourish emotionally, physically and mentally!

What projects are we working on?
In a long term project, Fearless4ever is developing a traveling exhibition called 'Through My Eyes'. The exhibition will allow attendees to see the world through the eyes of someone with IDD (intellectual and developmental disabilities) and as a result gain a deeper understanding of the special joys and challenges that they face.
Additionally two projects for 2024 are currently underway. A new dance program launched in March and the response has been phenomenal. Twenty six people participated and danced the night away to their favorite music. The class is in collaboration with the nonprofit, Champions of Fond du Lac. For more information click on our section above entitled "Dance Class".
The second project is a business card venture. Everyone loves business cards. Even retirees proudly hand out their card to acquaintances. This project will offer business cards to clients with developmental disabilities to promote self esteem as well as provide contact information for friends.
​
Other Fearless4ever projects we anticipate in the future include creating game-changing educational opportunities for people with IDD, parents, guardians, mental health professionals, educators, and legal personnel.
