Marcy Andersen is my friend. She's also my inspiration.
A few years ago Marcy helped me realize my goal of becoming a vegan, and has been a supportive friend to everyone who knows her.
She's also a parent to some amazing animals including Shadow (see picture above), a dog that because of behavioral problems would otherwise probably still be languishing at a shelter. Marcy took Shadow in despite already having a big cat family, but that's just who Marcy is. She cares for others.
Marcy's had a tough time lately though, and that's putting it mildly. On top of an already tight budget, and mounting medical care bills for her animals, Marcy has been in two separate accidents in the past few months, both of which have added new challenges to her long-term chronic pain issues.
To top it all off, she was recently told that her car was no longer roadworthy. Marcy needs a car to get to work so she's had to make a downpayment on a new car. That's more expense on top of monthly car payments, insurance payments, and then general things like gas and other maintenance, as well as the out-of-pocket expenses when she didn't have transportation. That's also in addition to vet bills for her cats and Shadow, and just normal cost of living expenses. It's a massive burden, and Marcy doesn't deserve to have to deal with it alone.
So I want to help Marcy by raising some money to take some of the strain off her shoulders and help pay for some of the necessities that she's trying to juggle. I know that it's a lot to ask, but Marcy's always been there for me and she's always there to help others, I figured it's time we helped her too!
Thank you so much for whatever you can afford to donate.
