We would like to thank you for supporting Danielle Duran 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.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Being able to teach them something small and they memorize it in their own way then SUDDENLY GRASP it. It’s amazing to see how their little brains develop. Getting to be apart of that experience. You teach them & all the while they teach you patience, love in its purest form, forgiveness as well. No one has a “here’s how to be a perfect parent” guide book. It’s in those mistakes that you and your family learn that being a Mom is the good the bad and everything in between & growing with them.

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

When I lost my first child, I remember praying to God that he would bless me in time with another child, that being a mother was the greatest blessing I could ever receive, and when I found out I was pregnant again, riddled with anxiety my whole pregnancy ill never forget the cry I let out once I heard her cry and felt her laid on my chest. Knowing that even with all the craziness of life God blessed me with the gift of life and that feeling or relief knowing my baby was in my arms finally.

What would you do with $20,000?

Our family is not rich monetary but only in laughter and love. While those are foundations for building a home, the money would actually be for us to have a physical home. In this economy, even with two working parents the “American Dream” seems to only be within reach if you make over $50k a year each. Renting an apartment makes us feel trapped Id love to buy a home so my daughter can have a backyard to grow up and run around in. Maybe a puppy to add! Anything would be a blessing truly.
