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.

A recent storm left Maddy and her small children without power. Initially, Maddy wasn't concerned, thinking the outage would be brief. However, after a few hours, she became worried as it became harder to keep the children occupied and cool. Maddy also has a son who requires nightly breathing treatments. She would like to have a portable generator to alleviate the stress of losing power and ensure she can provide for her children's basic needs. Granting this wish would give Maddy one less thing to worry about during storms.
