The blessing of getting to watch my girl grow day by day. So often I think of the quote "the days are long, but the years are short" because we blink and they truly grow from the tiniest, most helpless babies into the smartest, sassiest little humans. Even on the longest days, it is not lost on me the miracle it is to witness Liliana blossom into the amazing girl she’s becoming 🌸

Her birth. After a 21+ hour unmedicated labor, just when I thought I didn't have any more to give.. my midwife reminded me of what I'd looked forward to for the past 42 weeks... "Keep going, Brittany.. you're about to see your baby girl's face for the first time." The push I needed, to push one more time. At 7:34 am, I experienced the purest form of love at first sight.. hands down the greatest moment of my life 🥹

I would use a portion of the money toward our first home. Following an unexpected divorce and brutal child custody battle, my hard-earned savings account became nonexistent. Starting from zero as a first time mama, and in this economy, has dwindled my dream of providing my girl with the security of a forever home to grow up in. This $20,000 would be 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚-𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 for Liliana and I. Any residual would be put into a saving's account to contribute to Lili's educational future 🙏🏽
