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 would like to take her children to the YMCA. The children can't swim yet, so she is looking into swimming lessons. Maddy would like a life jacket to help keep her baby girl safe. This jacket is designed for infants under 30 pounds, and Maddy has had a hard time finding one for an infant.
