Fairhope is full of artists…..this is a heartbreaking statement! Fairhope haven for artists! Maybe this young lady has no one to inform her about the Eastern Shore Art Center or unable to afford classes or anyone to foster her talent.

I have worked since 17, tho’t when I retired life would be good. Please prepare your future because Social Security us not enough to qualify for a home or apartment. Now, at seventy looking for work and a place to call home.
Work and be wise, so wish I had been wise during a divorce and during my career.
I enjoy pworking, keeps you balanced in this crazy world.
