A wagon for Melissa who is planning a family trip to Disney

Posted Mar 21, 2025
Melissa is working tirelessly to create a better life for her four young children, who are 4 years old, 2.5 years old, 1.5 years old, and a newborn. Her daughter has a disability, so having a wagon would be incredibly helpful for her. Although a wagon may seem like a small gesture, for Melissa, it symbolizes safety, convenience, and peace of mind. It would make it easier for her to transport her children during daily routines, such as school drop-offs, appointments, and park visits, alleviating a significant burden as she continues to focus on building a brighter future. This request is especially time-sensitive, as Melissa is planning a special Disney vacation in the coming weeks! This trip is a much-deserved opportunity for her and her children to create wonderful memories together. With four kids under the age of four accompanying her, navigating the parks on foot all day will be nearly impossible without proper support to ensure her little ones are safe.

Melissa is 34 years old and lives in CA

Melissa is a resilient young mother who has successfully transitioned out of the foster care system. She has four children: a four-year-old, a two-and-a-half-year-old, a one-and-a-half-year-old, and a newborn. With her children relying on her, Melissa is determined to create a safe and stable future for her family. Her journey has been filled with challenges, but she remains focused on building a life where her children can thrive. Passionate about helping others, Melissa dreams of becoming a nurse. She finds fulfillment in caring for people and hopes to transform that passion into a career that will provide long-term security for her family. Despite the obstacles she faces, Melissa is committed to furthering her education, gaining experience, and ultimately working in the medical field. For her, success is not just about personal achievement; it’s about breaking cycles, setting a positive example for her children, and proving that determination and love can build a brighter future.
