Help Fairhope Resident Alegra Ladd Fight Cancer
Anyone who knows Alegra Ladd can tell you she can instantly light up a room with color and laughter. She’s always the first one to offer her love and support to those who need it. Right now, she needs us. Alegra was diagnosed with colorectal cancer this fall. It’s been a whirlwind of doctor's appointments, tests, road trips to UAB, treatment plans, and decisions. With that comes a lot of expenses, not to mention the mounting medical bills piling up before she even gets started with treatment. She will start chemotherapy and radiation soon and has an amazing team of doctors who have come together to get her better. There will be plenty of challenges ahead, but knowing Alegra’s positive attitude and determination to get healthy, she will beat this! Let’s make sure the least of her worries are her medical expenses! Please donate whatever you can to help with medical bills and deductibles, travel expenses, healthy/clean eating (which is a VERY important focus for her), and the comfort items that will make this treatment the best it can be. Most of all, please send your love and prayers and keep her in your thoughts while she fights this.Every dollar is appreciated so much! You can donate to a fundraiser for Alegra here.

Fairhope Christmas Parade was Wonderful
The city of Fairhope drew thousands to its festive Christmas parade held on Friday night. Visitors bundled up against the seasonal chill to enjoy the vibrant lights, holiday cheer, and the joy of children anticipating gifts, such as bikes. Mayor Sherry Sullivan highlighted the magic of the event, which featured dazzling displays and culminated with Santa riding in on a firetruck.
Progress at the Fairhope Pier
The Fairhope Times reported that the crew is adding more rip-rap rock to the pier seawall to break waves as waterfront renovations continue. This is all part of the larger Working Waterfront plan the city has described in detail: The main purpose of the project is to make safe and user-friendly improvements to the 10-acre South Beach Park area (Municipal Pier) to enhance citizens’ use of the waterfront park facilities while ensuring the park’s long-term resiliency and sustainability. One of the major structural components is the repair of the 50 year old bulkhead/seawall. Years of storms, especially Hurricanes Sally and Zeta, have threatened the structural integrity of the anchoring hardware allowing portions of the wall to shift. In other spots, water intrusion behind the wall has eroded the soil supporting the walkway. Learn more here
Fairhope Adoptable Pets: Meet Ginger The Cat
Ginger is a spirited 5-year-old male orange tabby with a personality that's as bold as his vibrant fur. With his striking orange coat and expressive green eyes, he knows how to capture attention without even trying. This charismatic feline is a master of communication, expertly dictating how much attention and interaction he desires from you. Whether it's a quick play session or a moment of quiet companionship, Ginger is clear about his needs, ensuring that you always know when it's time to engage and when to give him space. While he's not the cuddly type, Ginger is undeniably nice and has a way of brightening the room with his confident presence. He enjoys being near you, often choosing to settle close by, observing with an air of authority. His unique blend of independence and charm makes him an intriguing companion for those who appreciate an introverted cat with character. With Ginger, you'll find that every interaction is a delightful negotiation-he may not seek affection in the traditional sense, but his engaging personality and clear communication style make him a fascinating friend. If you're looking for a feline who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to ask for it, Ginger is your guy! Find out more about Ginger and other adoptable pets from The Haven by clicking here.
