  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Malaysia Gallon, 
recognized as one of California's 8th Congressional District's Women of 
the Year. At only 24 years old, Malaysia has already devoted more than 
a decade to community service, embodying compassion, leadership, and 
resilience far beyond her years. Since the age of 12, she has dedicated 
her life to uplifting others through her involvement with Keyz 2 the 
Future and Motivated 2 Help Others (M2HO), organizations committed to 
providing food, mentorship, and trauma-informed support to those in 
need. As Secretary for Keyz 2 the Future, Malaysia helps lead youth 
mentorship and art therapy programs that empower children and teens 
affected by gun violence. Through her service with M2HO, she has been 
on the front lines of feeding the unhoused and ensuring that vulnerable 
community members are met with dignity and care. Alongside her tireless 
volunteer work, Malaysia is building a career in healthcare as a 
licensed EKG Technician and Unit Assistant, while pursuing a bachelor's 
degree in nursing. Despite facing profound personal loss to gun 
violence, Malaysia has transformed her grief into purpose, becoming a 
role model for young women navigating hardship. Her dedication has 
resulted in thousands of meals served, hundreds of youths mentored, and 
a legacy of empathy and service that continues to grow. On behalf of 
the people of California's 8th Congressional District, I am proud to 
recognize Malaysia Gallon for her extraordinary compassion, her 
unwavering community spirit, and her outstanding contributions to 
Solano County.
