One thought on “A Final Snapshot”
Your work here has touched my heart. I have been searching for a way to combine my desire to help people using my creative energy, and this project that you all have been working on, feels just right. Are there other programs like this where I can share my artistic talents as well? I would love to talk to someone about any such opportunities. Thank you, and be well.
