We would like to thank you for supporting Amanda Pena in this year's Super Mom competition. Your participation allows us to aid Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in their commitment to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Watching them get excited when I pull up to their school to pick them up, hearing them say “I love you mom, you’re the best mom, ect.”, family dinners at the kitchen table after a long day🥹

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

When we were able to take them to Disneyland. Their dad and I separated 7 years ago but we co parent so well that we came together and made this 4 day trip happen. It was magical 🤍

What would you do with $20,000?

I would get my children and I out of this $2000/mo apartment, into a house in a better neighborhood with a backyard that they can actually play in. I would invest the rest in something that will make us more money and help my kids get set up for life. Maybe a DisneyWORLD trip, or universal studios 😁😊
