Wish submitted by:

Maddy is a determined young mother of two energetic and loving children. Despite the challenges she has faced in her life, she continues to work hard to create a stable and positive future for her family. Maddy was placed in care shortly after birth and was adopted by her foster parents. Growing up, she often struggled with questions about her identity and is still learning more about her birth family and heritage. These experiences have shaped her into a thoughtful and creative person who uses writing as a way to process her life experiences. She has written and self-published several books of poetry on Amazon that reflect on her childhood and personal journey. Maddy is currently enrolled in college and is working on writing her first romance novel. She recently began working from home as a call representative while continuing to pursue her education and care for her children. Although Maddy experiences social anxiety, she continues to push herself forward and pursue her goals. Writing, learning, and caring for her children give her purpose and motivation as she builds a better future for her family.

Maddy would like to take her children to the aquarium. She finds looking at the fish calming. There is a shark exhibit at the local aquarium however it will end before she gets her first check as she has recently found a job. Maddy is asking for some help with a gift card that will allow her to purchase tickets and she would like to plan in advance and allow the children to pick one souvenir.
