What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing how strong I have become. When I was a newly single mom, I was so overwhelmed. I had no idea how I would support myself & my daughter. Now it’s been 3 years and we are thriving. I began a Masters program to become a Counselor & help other moms. Becoming a mom gave me strength & resilience. Giving my daughter a full life of love & being the best example I can be for her are my top priorities. I am so grateful for my daughter & my newfound strength.

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

One memory I will never forget is driving her home from the hospital after giving birth. In the hospital everyone is taking care of you and the baby. Then suddenly you’re putting them in a car seat and driving away! Everything is on you now to take care of them. In that moment my life totally shifted, in the best way possible.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use $20,000 to put a down payment on a house for us. We rent and have had to move due to increasing costs. I would be so grateful to have a home to call our own and create memories in.
