Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Watching my daughters grow into strong, compassionate individuals is deeply satisfying. Supporting them through challenges and sharing in their triumphs creates lasting memories. The bond we share, filled with laughter and love, makes the journey special. Seeing them support each other reflects the family we’ve nurtured. Each stage brings new joys, from small milestones to profound moments. Watching them navigate the world with empathy and resilience fills me with pride and gratitude.

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

During their sister’s cancer journey, my daughters remained incredibly resilient. They supported each other through the toughest moments, showing strength beyond their years. Their ability to face challenges with grace, while offering love and encouragement, was truly inspiring. This experience deepened their bond and helped them develop an even stronger sense of empathy and resilience, making me incredibly proud of how they handled such a difficult time together.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would donate to the Keimryn Strong Foundation, a foundation created in honor of my daughter, to support other families facing childhood cancer. This cause is deeply personal to me, and I want to help provide resources, hope, and support to those going through similar struggles. By contributing, I hope to make a positive impact, ensuring that other families have the strength and assistance they need during such a challenging time.
