What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Seeing my kids grow, learn, and love despite the hardships we face. Their laughter, hugs, and little “I love yous” remind me that I’m doing something right.

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

The first time all my kids sat together, giggling and playing, as if the world outside didn’t matter. That moment reminded me that, no matter what, we have each other. Also, I remember one Valentine day when my oldest was 6 years old; he came to gave my only dollar to make me “feel special”. I was so shocked & thankful to be raising such a sweet even without a male figure in his life

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it to create a stable future for my kids—covering essentials like kids savings and savings that I don’t have. I’d also invest in opportunities to improve our quality of life and resources to help me build a better future for them. Once I pay old school loans, I can finish taking classes and receive credits to start my nursing program. Lastly, I would pay a year worth of fees so my children can take participate in the youth sports at YMCA so they can do things I didn’t growing up.
