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

Watching my daughter grow, learn, and thrive because of the love and guidance I give her is an indescribable gift. Every milestone, every shared moment, and our deep, unspoken connection make motherhood profoundly rewarding; even in the challenges that strengthen our bond. When I feel her little foot searching for me in the night or see her eyes light up at the sight of me, I am reminded that love is found in the smallest, most beautiful moments.

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

One memory I will never forget is the moment Luna came into the world. As I lay in the cold operating room during my C-section, I remember the exact moment she took her first breath. Her tiny cries filled the room, but the instant she heard my voice saying, "Welcome, mi niña! I love you!" she stopped crying. That moment, when she recognized me before even seeing me, is a memory I will treasure forever.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would love to share with moms in need, especially in Mexico, where I am from. I want to provide essential items during lactation, ensuring babies are well-fed and moms receive the support they need during postpartum recovery. The rest of the funds would be set aside for Luna’s future, whether for her education, special experiences, or something meaningful as she grows. Thank you!
