Rodriguez, 40 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 08/07

Wish submitted by:

After battling illness for several months, Rodriguez was recently diagnosed with stage 1 cancer. Due to her health struggles and the demands of ongoing medical treatment, she has been unable to work consistently, which has led to serious financial hardship. With minimal support from extended family, Rodriguez's greatest source of strength has been her four children, who have stood by her side through every difficult moment. Despite these challenges, Rodriguez remains an extraordinary person and employee. Known for her warmth, humor, and infectious positivity, she has a remarkable ability to bring joy to those around her. She is kind, compassionate, and above all, a devoted mother who prioritizes her children's needs, no matter what she is going through herself.

Rodriguez is experiencing a crisis for the first time, falling behind on rent and risking her family’s home. Although she has her children's emotional support, she lacks financial and practical assistance. Known for her ability to make children smile, her coworkers and the families she serves see her as caring, resilient, and hardworking. This support would cover her rent, providing her family with stability so she can focus on her health and continue being a strong presence for her children.
