Maddy, 24 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Maddy is a determined mother of two who has overcome early life challenges to build a bright, stable future for her family. Placed in care at birth and adopted by her foster parents, she uses writing to process her journey and explore her identity. An accomplished author who has self-published several poetry books on Amazon, Maddy is now balancing college courses, working from home as a call representative, and drafting her first romance novel—driven every day by her deep love for her children.

Maddy went through a traumatic event recently, which has led her to reflect on the importance of family. She realized that she does not have any professional family photos and would love to get her family together for a photoshoot. Maddy is hoping to include some generational pictures as well. She would love a JCPenney gift card that will allow her and her family to get their pictures taken professionally.
