DDC may have been quiet recently but that doesn’t mean we are not keeping busy - celebrations have been under way, as yesterday was our handsome man, Beau’s THIRD birthday! ❤️🐾

Of course when mom is a photographer, birthday photos must ensue… good thing we work for treats! 🦴

Hi everyone 🤍

I’m putting this out there in hopes that the right person sees it!

My husband and I are starting the search for a new place to rent. We know how tough the housing situation is right now, and we understand that what we’re looking for may be a lot in today’s market. Our current landlord has been so good to us, and we would absolutely stay if we could — but for health and mobility reasons, we need to begin exploring other options.

What we’re looking for:
• 2–3 bedroom apartment or house
• Ground floor or minimal stairs preferred
• A yard (this is important for us)
• Within 30 minutes of Tupper Lake (not directly in Tupper Lake), but for the right place we could go up to 40 minutes
• Preferably closer to the Hermon side of Tupper Lake vs. the Saranac Lake side, if possible
• Budget: up to $1,000/month

A little about us:
We’re both full-time, hardworking professionals, and I’m also currently in grad school working toward my Master’s in Social Work. We’ve been in our current rental for almost 5 years, so we’re very consistent, respectful, and reliable tenants.

We can provide income verification, landlord references, and personal references if needed.

We also have 3 well-trained, potty-trained, super friendly dogs (one is a registered ESA) — they’re very well cared for and part of our family.

We are not in a huge rush, but within the next 6 months or so we would love to find something that is a bit safer and more mobility-friendly for our needs.

I know this might be a long shot, but if anyone knows of anything available (or coming up soon), we would be so grateful if you reached out or pointed us in the right direction.

Thank you all so much 🫶

I don’t usually ask for help like this, but I’m taking a leap and sharing something that’s really important to me 🤍

As many of you may know, over the past month, I lost both of my paternal grandparents. That experience has changed the way I look at end-of-life care, and it’s deepened my desire to be someone who can truly support others during those moments.

As I am currently in grad school, working toward becoming a Licensed Master Social Worker, I have been looking into ways in which I can expand my knowledge and training and become a more well-rounded professional.

This October, I have the opportunity to attend an in-person End-of-Life Doula (sometimes referred to as a "Death Doula") training in Rhinebeck, NY—something that will allow me to grow into a more compassionate person and be able to better support people and their families through one of the hardest parts of life.

I’ve created a fundraiser to help cover the cost of the training, along with travel and lodging expenses. If you’re able to donate or even just share, it would truly mean so much to me.

If you aren’t comfortable using GoFundMe and would prefer to private message me, I can provide other options for donations 🤍

Every bit of support helps me get one step closer to doing this work in a deeper, more meaningful way.

Thank you for being a part of my journey 🤍

There are moments in life that stay with us forever—and often,… McKenzie Marcellus needs your support for Help Me Grow as a Social Worker—End-of-Life Training

💛🐣 THANK YOU 🐣💛

Because of all of YOU, we raised $300 for the Tupper Lake Volunteer Rescue Squad during our Easter Mini Sessions on Saturday, March 21st!

We had 9 amazing sessions filled with smiles, laughter, and so much community support. I’m beyond grateful to everyone who booked, shared, and showed up to make this happen.

For those patiently waiting—your photos will be delivered by Friday 📸✨

Supporting those who support our community means everything—thank you for being a part of it 🫶🚑
