About Melina McCaskill's personality

Melina is expressive, full of energy, and outspoken, which means she is always willing to speak her mind. She will happily talk your ear off if you let her! She is also our little actress, always performing and pretending to be her favorite characters. Her big sister wants to be a director one day, so she loves having Melina as her little star performer! Melina is confident, extremely helpful, and so loving, bringing so much joy and entertainment to our family daily.

What are Melina McCaskill's favorite things to do?

Melina’s favorite things to do are eat, dance, and help! She is a little foodie at heart and loves being in the kitchen while I cook. If anyone is eating, you can usually hear her ask, “Can I have some?” or “Can I try it?” She also loves dancing to her favorite songs and copying the moves she sees; she definitely knows how to groove! Whether helping with her baby brother, her big sisters, in the kitchen, or around the house, Melina is always eager to be involved and do her best.

What would your family do with $25,000?

Winning the contest would be such a blessing for our family. It would give us breathing room, create more stability, and allow us to save toward Melina’s future. We would also love to take our first family vacation by plane, hopefully to Hawaii or Japan. I grew up as a military kid in Okinawa, and every trip back to the States included a stop in Hawaii. Sharing a piece of that with my family would mean the world.
