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.

Maddy is actively searching for a daytime job that will allow her to provide for her family while still being available for her children. After leaving an overnight position that was not sustainable for her family, she has depleted her savings while navigating this transition. A gas gift card would help Maddy travel to job opportunities and interviews while also ensuring she can get her children to their important doctor appointments. This assistance would remove one immediate financial barrier and help Maddy continue moving toward greater stability for her family.
