(Original post from Daniel Alexander on Google+, I’m just helping to spread the word. Reblog this)

I spotted this poor lady initially on Thanksgiving Day looking for work as I was leaving the York Road Shopping Center in Baltimore (http://g.co/maps/2ymdz). I felt so helpless and guilty because she wasn’t asking for money, but for a steady job. It was beyond me. It was especially sad because this was someone who should be enjoying retirement, but can’t. 

The next day, I thought to take a picture of her and her sign to post it online to have her exposed to more people. When I went to find her though, she wasn’t there. 

I was in the area today, and coincidentally, there she was: Still asking for help as cars were exiting the plaza. I finally approached her and asked if I could snap a picture so I can put her ad online in the hopes that someone out there would be able to find something for her. 

So, here it is. 

If you know someone looking for a seamstress, will you please tell that person about Gail? If you yourself can help, please reach out to her. Gail can be contacted at 443-810-0561. If you can’t help, at least share this post so that someone following you can.

Thank you.

totally wish I was currently in baltimore Im trying to get my seamstress skills up, and look how cute she is. Poor lady.

Reblogging for any Baltimore area peeps out there.

Ok, for any of my followers in Baltimore… PLEASE use this lady’s knowledge and learn from her. This is a dying art and when someone with those abilities is gone, then we are all at a loss. Do all you can to learn and use her talents. ALSO and MOST IMPORTANTLY don’t take her for granted. Honestly, you get what you pay for. Handmade, well, is worth so much more than store bought. It will last longer and be a treasure to you.
