Machalea, 25 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Machalea is a strong single mother of three children who has faced many challenges, including experiencing homelessness. Even through these difficulties, she continues to stay positive and focused on building a better life for her family. She really enjoys spending time outdoors with her kids, whether it’s going for walks or taking small road trips together. These moments mean a lot to her and bring her joy. She also loves to sing, which is something that makes her feel happy and relaxed. Her favorite color is blue, which reflects her calm and hopeful personality. Machalea works part-time as a home health aide, a job she truly cares about because she enjoys helping and caring for elderly people. Through her hard work, love for her children, and determination, she continues to push forward toward a brighter future.

Machalea is currently in between homes due to losing her home recently. She bounces from place to place until she can find a stable place. She would love new luggage to transport her kids' items easily. This would also double as travel luggage once she is back on her feet and able to travel. This would mean a lot to her as she uses an old, beat-up duffle bag that isn't big enough to carry all their items and would be easier to transport with her children.
