About Marcie
Status: Raising money to get my feet back on the ground

Summary

My name is Marcie and my story started two years ago when I lost my job. I quickly found at the age of 55 there's a lot of age discrimination when trying to get full-time or even part-time employment. This past January my beloved dog Milo and I drove cross-country, back to Colorado, where I once lived and worked, in hopes to find a job. A friend offered me a place to stay until I found work and got settled, but immediately after arriving this person-who I thought was my friend-wouldn't allow me to stay with her! All I had was $3,000 in my pocket and I've been piecing things together ever since.


Resumé / Bio


I've been pet sitting to keep myself going and am taking my employment into my own hands by starting my own pet care business, but I'm in the early stages. It will take time to get my business going. The only way I can get ahead is to raise money to put a roof over my head and allow time to get my business off the ground.

I left all of my belongings back in Maryland, and I've been living out of my car with what I could bring with me. I was able to get on food assistance that is allowing me to start eating normally again, but not having a place to call home with my personal things has been hard and is very depressing.

Thank god I have my dog Milo, or I most likely would have given up long ago. He is my world and this is the second time he's saved my life. After surviving breast cancer and a surgery gone badly that left me on life support for 5 days, he brought me out of a deep depression starting the moment I saw him. He's now giving me the courage to keep going despite my current situation and to start a personalized pet care business, so I can give back to these wonderful creatures that help us when we need them.

I'm a fighter and this is my wish so I can be me again.

Please share if you believe in paying it forward to anyone who may assist me. I promise to pay it forward for the rest of my life as soon as I'm able.

Please help if you can-any amount is deeply appreciated.
