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 was thrilled to try out her new smoker for the first time. For her inaugural meal, she chose to prepare pork, eager to experiment with a variety of recipes and different flavors of wood chips. By exploring these culinary possibilities, she hoped to create delicious meals for her family and expand her cooking repertoire. This new adventure in smoking meat would not only satisfy her culinary curiosity but also bring her family together around the dinner table.
