There is no one that I know that has worked harder than Audrey, to get a job. She has the training, ambition, and means to work as an artist or teacher of art.
For far too many years she has been dealing with all the roadblocks that her country of France has put in front of her.
Being unemployed for so long without any compensation and desperately needing a job so she can have what all of us want, A LIFE. To be married and have her own place and raise her family she hopes to have one day. At age 34 the clock is ticking by and no one, absolutely no one in her country has the brains enough to see past their snobby noses and give her a chance.
To all you American's that go to France on your trips, do you really know how the poor unemployed of France are treated while the rich who have jobs are too busy being on holiday when ever they choose.

There is no holiday for Audrey's Mum, who lost her job as an accountant and now spends her days taking care of grany who is bed ridden. No break for her, no help that she can trust least they come in and steal from the home. This is a true story a sad story. The homeless of France live in the woods, I bet you didn't know that.
So while you shop your Paris shops think of this., here is a country that does nothing for their poor or homeless. It's a society based on who you know and how rich you are.
The USA is not perfect by any means but at least we help our poor and needy, we help anyone who comes to our country no matter how poor they are. And finding them a job is our number one priority.

Where Audrey lives she can't get the art supplies that we have available to us in the US. I' have tried to help out in any way I can but with the HIGH PRICES OF SHIPPING TO FRANCE OR ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY it cost me more for the shipping than the items I send to her. Why aren't these items available to Audrey in her own country you may ask. It is because they don't value artists in France, artists like most of us on places like ebay and etsy and flickr.

She has gone into these stores and told them, "this is what the artists in the US are using to make their art," they won't listen to her, they look at her like who are you, your nobody. Think of how frustrating it would be if our country felt the same way that France does and you weren't allowed to sell your art on the internet or in your own country. Only the rich and Famous artists are seen as valueable in France and it makes me sick to know  that there is a country that so many people here think is so sophisticated and if the truth be known they are in the dark ages and someone should tell their President and his beautiful model wife just what is happening right beneath their feet.
You can tell the greatness of a country by the way they treat their needest and France you missed the boat. Where would you be if we hadn't helped you in WW2 when you needed help? How soon we forget,
Shame on you France
Bernice
