We would like to thank you for supporting Aquanan Newson 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 my kids grow daily and actually being able to be with them day in and out.The milestones that they saY they couldn’t do they are doing.It makes my heart smile to just see them happy.

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

When I had gave birth to all four of them.Only two out of the four was on the spectrum.I was depressed for a while about.As they began to grow I use to ask myself why me ?!I look at this totally different now !!Why not me to love ,protect,and be their voice.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would set up my kids a nice IRA or use the money as a down payment for our new home.Since we are currently facing eviction due to my son not being able to control and self regulate.Even if I dont get it !I still would be happy for whoever won.Its hard being a single mother.I feel like we are constantly overlooked.Only because our job as mom never stops. We cant take a break when we want.We cant call off on sick days or when it gets hard.We have to constantly show up for our kids.All moms rock
