Over the course of time, there have definitely been some obstacles along from lack of funding, Covid-19, Death in Family, and sometimes just trying to keep up and stay relevant.
But what has gotten Norman through these things and still getting him by is his support from strong family and friendships base. Overall the biggest support is his spiritual relationship with God.
