Abandoned, alone, but unbreakable I fight for Zhuri . Through tears, struggles, and love, I am her protector, provider, and super mom.
We would like to thank you for supporting Barbara A 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.
The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing the pure, unconditional love of my child. It’s in the way her tiny arms wrap around my neck, how her eyes light up when she sees me, and the trust she places in me every single day. It’s knowing that I am her safe place, her comfort, and her guide in this world. Motherhood is exhausting, but in those quiet moments when she rests her head on my chest, I realize that I am her whole world, and that is everything.
What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?One memory I will never forget is the first time my daughter, Zhuri, said “I love you.” It wasn’t just the words it was the way she looked at me, with pure innocence and sincerity. In that moment, every sleepless night, every sacrifice, every tear felt worth it. It reminded me that love is not measured in grand gestures but in these small, precious moments that shape our bond forever. That moment lives in my heart, a reminder that I am deeply loved in the most innocent and beautiful way.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, I would finally give my daughter, Zhuri, a place to call home. We live with relatives, and while I’m grateful, she deserves her own space a room where she feels safe, loved, and free to dream. I’d invest in her education and ease financial burdens so I can be more present for her. If possible, I’d set something aside to help single moms like me because I know the struggle. More than anything, this would be the start of a stable, loving home for Zhuri’s future.
