Lean On Me
A Night of True Stories about Help, Hope, and Holding On
We all have a story about someone --or something--who helped get us through.
A friend who showed up. A neighbor who noticed. A teacher, parent, sibling, dog, stranger, sponsor, coach, or chosen family member who carried us for a while--or let us carry them.
Join us for Fort Stories: Lean on Me, an evening of true personal stories about support, friendship, caregiving, community, and the surprising ways we survive because someone else was there.
The night will feature coached storytellers, audience stories, and the kind of real, funny, tender, human moments that remind us we are not meant to do life alone.
Come to listen. Come to tell. Come to remember who you leaned on — and who leaned on you.
Short. True. Told by you. Up to 7 Minutes.
Date: Sunday, October 18th, 2026
Time: 6:30- 8:15'ish PM

Introducing The Flash Story Lab!
This is our 4th Fort Stories event, and the second time we’ll be doing The Flash Story Lab. The first one was hilarious, touching, and we learned a few things about the participants. Want to learn a couple things about yourself?
Come with a story idea, and let’s figure it out in 30 minutes. It’s fun, challenging, and just a bit chaotic. It’s also FREE!!!
Most stories people tell aren’t stories—they’re just updates or anecdotes.
"I went to Disneyland with some friends and it was fun. They talked me into the rides which I never do. They teased me about it especially when I got sick from one of the rides and had to go to the medical office. I didn't want to inconvenience my friends and I was okay that they left me there and continued with all the rides."
VS
"Once again I was talked into doing something I didn't want to do. I ended up getting sick and had to be wheeled into the medical office and they gave me some anti-nausea medication and hydration. My friends went off to do other rides and didn't come back for 2 hours. I was scared and felt terrible until the medication started working. I also realized I need new friends."
We’re going to fix that in 30 minutes.
Just show up at 6:00 and take a seat.
Bring paper and pen and a sense of humor.
