Dear Ryan,
I would love to nominate one of my best friends, Stephanie.
She is a newly single mother of 5 kids, ages 1-16 years old. She left a partner who was being unfaithful and stole her money.
She’s been trying hard to pick herself back up. She works in Van Nuys and has been taking Uber from Huntington Park every day for weeks because her car broke down and she doesn't have the money to fix it.
They all live together in a one-bedroom apartment.
Life has been rocky for her, but she always finds a way to make it work for her and her kids.
I think if she wins, it would greatly bless her home and family.
