Mackenzie, 17 years old

Wish submitted by:

Mackenzie is an amazing young lady who has had a very rough few years. She came into care due to an unsafe environment. In the first two years in care, she faced many challenges. However, she was blessed with the cutest little girl. Mackenzie has changed her focus and is now living with her grandma and is doing a fantastic job raising her baby. She is focused on getting her GED. Her next big goal is to get her own apartment.

Mackenzie has been daydreaming about the perfect Polaroid camera, imagining all the fun moments she could capture with her friends. For as long as she can remember, she has wanted one, envisioning snapshots of their adventures together. This year, however, has been particularly challenging for her family, with a series of obstacles that have made the holiday season feel a little less festive. In light of this, Mackenzie, with her hopeful spirit, has reached out for assistance to ensure that there are a few special gifts waiting for her on Christmas morning. She believes that the Polaroid camera would bring not just joy to her, but also help create lasting memories during this time with her loved ones.
