Help Marie meet her Bio family.

Donation protected

Marie Maltby, who works at the Vespasian Warner Library, was abandoned as a very young child with her brother.  They were placed in an orphanage and life went on.  Marie had no idea of her heritage or birthdate.


Seven years ago Marie was given a DNA kit so she could at least learn her ethnic heritage.  She was so grateful.


Fast forward to this week.  She matched with someone on ancestry and they contacted her.  They have been searching for Marie for 60 years!!! She had actually been kidnapped by her mother's boyfriend, brought to another state and abandoned with her brother.  Little kids are a nuisance, you know.


Marie has gone from feeling that nobody wanted her to finding out her mother and four siblings have been desperately searching for her.  Mom and one sibling are in Texas, others are in Florida and this family deserves to be together.  


If you can, please donate to their travel Go Fund me page.  They've been apart for way too long.  Please share this post so we can get them together. <3
