I got another package for Anthony (Day 67) last week. This time it was from Jamie in Alabama! Take a look!
Later that day I came across Robert.
Robert shared with me that he had a serious drug and alcohol addiction in the past; PCP, crack, heroin, you name it. But after getting high one time and breaking into a school in PG County, he was arrested and served 12 months of an 18 month sentence. That he said cleaned him up. “I did my time and I appreciate what it did for me, but I don’t ever want to do it again” he told me.
Now Robert lives with his mother and makes a living selling personalized greeting cards at the corner of 17th and H in DC. Although never married, he has five sons.
You can see some of Robert’s work here.
Robert is going to put the $10 toward his Metro card so that he can get to and from the corner where he sells his cards. He says he is there Monday through Friday from 7am to 7pm.
If anyone knows of jobs related to drawing, Robert welcomes your help.
