Thank You for the Support with my "Because of Marcus" Foundation!
This Wenesday, the 25th, The Tracy Press is going to run a Spotlight on my new foundation "Because of Marcus" Gently Used Clothing.

A special thanks to Gina from Burning Desire Coffee; Craig from Tracy Signs; Don from BD Products; Martha from Planned Parenthood, Evelyn Tolbert of our city councel;… Continue

Because of Marcus - Gently Used Clothing
ello Everyone,
Today something happened that really troubled me, there was a young man waiting for his ride to school and he was wearing shorts and a worn down sweatshirt and it was very chilly. I thought maybe he was just one of those kids that doesn’t really care for wearing long pants, but as we talked I found I was wrong. His mother is out of work and pregnant so finances are tight which meant they were currently unable to purchase pants and a jacket to fit him. How can this… Continue

- I have had no car for quite some time now, and the foundation is extremely difficult to run
without transportation and support with transportation is minimal in the evenings and not there during the day. I am being held back from doing all the good I can be doing -I have companies that want me to come meet them because they may have material donations to assist me with building the clothing rack system in the garage but the owners/managers' are only there meetings, and Wednesdays the Coalition for the homeless have meals that they have invited me too etc. There are so many people that need clothing 80% and most do not have transportation to get to me nor do I feel super comfortable giving my home address to every person in need. I coulnl't even make it to the TracyIslandOnline New Year's party!
I am applying for several grants - but those take a lot of time to get if granted at all. www.becauseofmarcus.org
