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 presently without a permanent home, having lost her previous one recently. As a result, she has been moving from place to place until she can find a stable residence. She requires a new luggage to make it easier to transport her children's belongings, as she presently uses an old, battered duffle bag that isn't big enough to hold all of their belongings. Once she is back on her feet and can travel, this luggage will double as a travel bag. This would mean a lot to her and her children, as it would be far more convenient to transport their belongings.
