Ariel Crespo

Becoming a mom was not easy for me. I had two very high risk pregnancies. I battled with Hyperemesis gravidarum and pre eclampsia.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Those moment where I remember how far I’ve come. From spending months at the NICU watching my babies fight everyday. And struggling with post Partumn depression. To now getting to see my children thrive and hit every milestone while I get the opportunity to pour my everything into them. I really think the most rewarding part is that I have the chance to watch them grow up. I got lucky, twice!

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

When you’re a mom it’s usually watching them learn something new and seeing their eyes light up with excitement. But I have to say my most memorable would be the moment when my children recognized me as mommy. That realization for me sent a rush of warm through my body. It’s a feeling and a memory I would not trade for anything.

What would you do with $20,000?

Receiving the money would mean I can provide better living for my kids. And set them up in extracurricular programs to further their learning. My kids are very high energy and would love to have the space to play and be creative.
