Mahalet was born in Ethiopia.
Abandoned by her parents, she lived as an impoverished orphan.

Mahalet was adopted by a loving, Christian American family at 11.

This week @TPUSA brought her to the WH. She asked to pray for our President. He brought her onstage-then this happened: pic.twitter.com/kYoUT365Rq
