Ms. Aloha, as people like to call Wendy, was abandoned by her mother at age seven and endured years of abuse within the foster care system. She was finally placed with a family, but was forced to leave once they learned she was a lesbian. Through all of this, plus an unforeseen tragedy in her family, she’s kept a positive outlook on life, helping all of those around her and learning to thrive on her own.
