Terry Smith has been a lifelong resident of Fairhope and is well known in the community, often seen riding his bicycle around town. Recently, the City of Fairhope condemned his home due to serious safety concerns and structural issues, marking the property as unsafe for anyone to live in. Despite these warnings, Terry is still residing in his home because he has nowhere else to go.

Terry’s situation is urgent. The city plans to demolish his home, and he will be responsible for the demolition costs on top of needing to find a new place to live. He is relying on the kindness and support of his neighbors and the wider community.

Funds raised will help Terry secure legal representation, cover the costs associated with the demolition, and assist him in finding a safe and stable new living situation. Any support will make a real difference in helping Terry through this difficult time and ensuring he can remain a part of the Fairhope community.
