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 has been out of work and is in the final month of her pregnancy. She has been low on funds and needs gas to make sure she gets to her doctors' appointments. This would mean a lot to Machalea to be able to make it to her appointments and lower her financial stress and give her one less thing to worry about.
