Maddy, 24 years old, OH |

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 is thrilled to have secured her first apartment. Although she had aspirations of hosting Thanksgiving dinner, she felt unprepared for the occasion. However, she is eager to take on the responsibility of hosting Christmas dinner. Maddy is particularly interested in preparing a smoked turkey, a dish her father traditionally makes, as she wishes to demonstrate her attentiveness and culinary skills. To fulfill this desire, she hopes to acquire an electric smoker, as she harbors concerns about using gas. ***Goodway Cares has graciously covered the actual value of this wish.
