a KINDER AND BRAVER WORLD
ABOUT US
The MERRYman-Gueck-STARKEY clan is a blended family with 7 kids aged 12 to 19. We believe that the satisfaction of working hard, pride in a job well done, consideration of our actions and their impact on the planet, and a deep compassion for others are among the most important values we can instill in our children.
The MerryStarkey Charitable Organization embodies these critical values and provides us with an opportunity to allow our children to practice what we have been “preaching” and to witness firsthand what a difference they each can make, with a bit of hard work and a big heart.
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THOSE WITH A LOT AND THOSE WITH A LOT LESS.
Our First Endeaver
